The Cat on the Mat is Flat (4 page)

‘Bother!' said Ed.

‘Bother!' said Ted.

‘Woof! Woof! Woof!' said

Ted's dog Fred,

as they bobbed around

in the belly of Ned.

Ed and Ted and Ted's dog Fred

were certain

they were surely dead,

but the

whale called Ned—

who was overfed—

blew Ed

and Ted

and Ted's dog Fred

out of

the hole

in the top

of his head.

Up,

up,

up,

flew

Ed

and

Ted.

Up,

up,

up,

flew Ted's

dog

Fred

and

then ...

down,

down,

down,

they all did

head!

‘Oh no,'

said Ted

with deathly

dread.

‘We'll hit

the ground.

We'll end up

dead!'

‘Fear not,'

said Ed,

to his friend Ted,

stretching a

handkerchief

over his head.

‘Hang on to me, Ted!

Hang on to Ted, Fred!'

and

down

to

the

ground

they

para-chut-ed.

‘Thank you,

           thank you, Ed!' said Ted.

‘Thanks to you we are not dead!'

‘Woof! Woof! Woof!'

said Ted's dog Fred

as he jumped up

and LICKED

Ed's head.

Ed

hugged

Fred!

Fred

hugged

Ed!

Ted

hugged

Fred!

Fred

hugged

Ted!

Ed

hugged

Ted!

Ted

hugged

Ed!

And

they

lived happily

ever after ...

in their shed.
