MARCEL AND THE DOG WITH THE BAD BREATH

Hi,

This picture commemorates the day that Marcel took a few days off working in the library and decided to go on holiday.

Alas, he took one of those coach tours and had to sit next to a dog named Fik who had extremely bad breath. Fik was a very exciteable hound and was also a big fan of Kick Pie, which is a little like football, but with pies. This year is the Kick Pie World Cup and so Fik was all dressed up in his supporters gear and he wouldn't stop talking to Marcel about it. Marcel likes pies, of course! All bears do! But not Kick Pie... What a waste of a good pastry!!! Marcel just likes books really... Reading books, filing books, being the central character in books - he's a quiet bear and having Fik hang around him drinking ginger beer and not cleaning his teeth is just something that he's not used to.

Oh well. Marcel won't let it put him off pies. Just Kick Pie fanatical dogs with bad breath. Which is fair enough.

Bye for now.
