Watch Out There's a Thief About

I was a hero yesterday but no-one recognised it.

You see I was having a pleasant afternoon nap in the sun when I heard this noise outside. It was a big van pulled up on two legs' drive. Now I know two legs doesn't like strangers parking on his drive cos he can't get his car out and he gets all cross and angry.

I thought I would be helpful so I walked round to see the van and tell then to push off. Trouble was there was no-one there. Then I saw this stranger walk out of the front door and go and get some tools out of this van. I thought two legs must have things under control so I went back to the sun and topped up my tan.

The noises got more and more weird and I thought I ought to investigate. Well I walked into my kitchen and you wouldn't believe your eyes. The two legs from the van was on the floor taking out that thing that washes all the dishes. He was whistling away merrily without a care in the world. I was going to stop him and then I looked again and he was a bit big so I thought I'd go and get my two legs - more of an even contest then.

I searched for him or her and wondered where they were. I knew she was in that glass house playing with all the little plants and I didn't think she would be able to fend off the two legs with the van who was taking stuff from her kitchen.

I went into the study and there was two legs reading a book as if nothing was happening. I scratched his chair to attract his attention and just got the proverbial brush off!

I jumped up on the desk and head butted him and shouted to come quick because he was being robbed.

"There's a good boy come to see your Dad. What have you been doing you're all hot. Laying in the sun I bet!" totally oblivious to what was going on a few yards away.

"You're being robbed! Get up and sort it out!" I yelled at him.

"Let dad read his book and you go back to the sun. Good boy Casper!". He patted me on the head and I knew I couldn't do any more to rouse his interest. It was left to me to save the day! As usual.

I saw the van two legs carrying the big machine to the front door and new I had one chance. I shot between his legs and tried to trip him up.

"Can you get your cat sir" he shouted to my two legs "nearly sent me apex over spine with the washer!"

"So sorry!" my two legs replied appearing on the scene in a flash. I spent all my efforts trying to get him up and one word from this van owning machine snaffler and he's there.

"Casper get out of the way and in the garage" What thanks for saving a disaster.

I watched from the garage and saw the van get filled with the old washer and a new one was taken out and carried inside. There was more noise then I saw the two two legs shaking hands and exchanging pieces of paper.

"Two year guarantee - any problems call me." said the van driving two legs cheerily.

I was let out of the garage and went into the kitchen and saw a new machine where the old one had been. The female two legs came in from playing with her plants and beamed and said how nice it looked.

I couldn't have got it all wrong could I?
