Dinner Drama

Peter Rabbit's breakfast dish was dirty, the congealed porridge had lost its glistening glaze and set hard, in need of a soak. Peter Rabbit's plate was grubby, too, the remnants of chunky cucumber, carrot, potato and ham clung irresolutely to the patterned ceramic surface. Peter Rabbit's drinking cup was covered in sticky fingerprints.

As for Winnie The Pooh's plate, that had been used for elevenses. His breakfast dish smashed long ago, clumsy Pooh!

Oh, well, thought harassed Mummy, that's the Christening presents used up, I'll have to fetch one of our dishes for the little Poppet's apple and rice dessert.
