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.

Sir Lancelot (the pony) has been known to dress up as a reindeer this time of year.
