Biscuit Bribe
Sindy was preparing a batch of Shortbread dough when she heard a tremendous racket from the hall and to her amazement a big box of shortbread biscuits entered followed by two little 'uns and a pony.
Cub: Hey Sindy!
Cubby: Look, we brought you some biscuits in exchange for some info. Are you interested?
Sindy: Goodness! That's one big box of shortbread. You must need a lot of information.
Cub: Well it was Barbie who said we should get the big box, due to your large body or whatnot.
Cubby: No I think she said chubby body. Or stout.
Sindy: Ah. *Ironically.* How kind.
Cub: I know right? Anyway, we have a very important question for you which Barbie couldn't answer, hence us being here.
Sindy: Does it have anything to do with that "stout" pony with a branch attached to its head?
Cubby: *Gasp* It's a reindeer, not a pony. And yes it does.
Sindy: *Hiding a smile.* Alright, ask away.
Cub: Did Rudolph go down in history? You know, like the song says.
Sindy: Why that is a good question. You could say the song about him did, but you know he's not a real... oh.
Cubby: Not a real what?
Sindy: Err.. music lover. Yup, never liked the song much. Or people shouting with glee. But he did go down in history.
Cub: Told ya Sindy would know! Barbie didn't know squiddly-doo.
Cubby: Hoorah! You hear that Sir Lancel... I mean little reindeer. Follow his hoofs and you'll be remembered forever.
Sindy: Shortbread anyone? My treat.
