Possible Problems

“So, what are you worried about, Sky?” Asked Barnaby as the bears gathered around for the man to take their photograph.

“Quite a lot, Barnaby. Honey supplies for a start.”

“Honey supplies, Sky? What is the problem?” Asked Bertie also looking concerned.

“It all comes down to the man. He is trying different places where he gets his food from using the complonker. He uses new digits to order and while I have watched and think I have the new ones I was not sure.”

“Sky, the man had the usual van deliver his things last week, I saw it there and was waiting for our stuff but it did not come.” Said Posh Bear.

“No, it is all getting confusing. The man seems to be ordering from both the new one and the old one, which makes it difficult for me to know which one to add our things to. Anyway, I think the man is going bonkers.” Said Sky.

“I quite agree, Sky, but then we have always thought that.” Said Bertie smiling.

“No, I mean totally bonkers, Bertie. When the man had a friend around here recently, I noticed that they were both talking to a green growing plant his has. He has even given it a name and was calling it Vera and he was saying hello to it. It didn’t answer, and his friend even tried but the plant ignored them.”

“Are you sure, Sky?” Asked Posh Bear looking worried.

“Yes, they both kept on saying hello Vera to this plant. Is that weird or what? Then he starts ordering his things from two suppliers.”

“That is very strange behaviour, Sky, I agree. I wonder why he called it Vera? Why not Sky, Bertie, Theo, or Posh, like we are called? Why give the green thing that grows a name at all? All very strange, but not that important to us bears. Now, the possible lack of honey, well that is different.” Said Posh Bear.

“Luckily Posh, we have a genius at the helm of ordering, and I have taken measures to make certain that we still can order from now on.”

“Sky is such a genius.” Said Barnaby looking in admiration at his friend.

“I know, Barnaby, but as I was saying.” Said Sky

“So modest with it too.” Chimed in Bertie giggling.

“As I was saying, I am now ordering from both suppliers, however, there is a slight problem in that if they both supply, we may have a little more than normal.”

“You say a little more, Sky, roughly how much more?” Asked Posh Bear.

“Well, just in case one supplier did not send us what we ordered, I added extra to both orders. Well, I think I did for I was never much good at numbers, so, well I think we had better make extra room to store what comes.”

“So, is it fair to say that you do not know what you ordered then, Sky?” Asked Bertie.

“Well, I am not totally sure, Bertie, but if you need to know I am sure that Vera would know for she was looking at the screen as I did the ordering. So, do you speak green growing thingy, Bertie?”

“Time will tell, Bertie, we will soon find out.” Said Posh Bear smiling.
