Twigson Ties the Knot Page #4

---

- Auntie Everywhere! With a cane?

- Yes, imagine that.

It happened last Thursday. I was on my

way down too Mr. Tupes with his dinner.

And I'd forgotten to feed Reidun's cat.

So there I go,

back and forth, up and down.

But when I had reached

the bottom of the hill -

- I decided to take

the short cut over the brook.

And you know the old root ball

sticking up there, right?

Well, one of the loops on my

boot got caught so I lost my balance!

But do you think. I fell in?

Oh no, not this lady.

I stretched out like an arch

across the brook!

But...

Just as I thought I was safe...

Oops! Twigson told me too do it.

I don't want too see you here

ever again, Deposit Boy.

Let me take him.

I told you not to come inside!

You've been stealing bottles!

I could lose my job over this.

You sit right here!

We were so close to getting busted!

If the clerk had asked me if I knew

your mom, I don't think. I could've lied.

Your mom is good

at keeping secrets, though.

It's stopped raining.

You can get some rest now.

- Where is it?

- At home.

Give us the doll.

- What is this?

- A stick.

This isn't just a regular stick.

This is a soulful piece of wood.

- How does he know that?

- How do you know that?

It's my job.

Too see what's any good.

But you know all about that.

You're a home builder.

- I wanna make a bed for Twigson.

- For Twigson?

- But the nails are too big.

- Really?

Well, we can't just stand here.

Come on.

- I'm not allowed in the store.

- What nonsense!

They can't turn down a customer.

There you go. Take this.

Mom.

I'm a customer.

Is that your soon?

Yes, unfortunately.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

I didn't mean it like that.

- You understood that, right?

- You probably have a husband too, then?

Yes, I do.

Ma'am. Deposit Boy

is welcome at the store.

- Thank. you. Thank you so much.

- Easy now.

- I thought you didn't like kids.

- Well, I'm glad you're here.

Wouldn't it be good for you to get away

for a while? Meet some new people.

- Look at this.

- No.

- I can look after the store for you.

- You're moving quickly.

From Miss to Mrs. in two minutes.

And now you want too take over my store?

Yes. Just like that!

Does this bed seem soulful to you?

- Stop it. I'm studying for a test.

- I'll go show it to somebody else.

Just because he gave us the nails,

doesn't mean it's safe to goo see him.

What if it's a trap? What if he

nails me too the wall? Then what?

- Are you scared?

-No, I'm not scared.

- Are you?

- No.

But what if he gets out

his big saw and starts sawing me?

I bet you'll be scared then. He's probably

out of town. Let's just go home.

Oops. I guess he's home, all right.

- Come on, Junior.
