boot and he had to repack once more. After he was done,
George asked him if the soap was in but Jerome was so

exhausted that he just didn’t seem to care. But after he
strapped the bag again, he noticed that he had packed his

spectacles inside and he had to open the bag again. Finally, he
finished packing at 10:05 pm and now George and Harris
decided to pack the food hampers.

George and Harris started by showing that they were better
than Jerome at packing. Jerome was excited to see how they

would proceed. As he anticipated, they started with breaking a
cup. Then, Harris accidentally squashed a tomato by placing
strawberry jam on top of it and then he had to pick out the

tomato with a teaspoon. Moreover, George stepped on the
butter. Now it was Jerome’s turn to sit back and watch them

which irritated them. They stepped on things, put things behind
them, and then they were unable to find them when they
needed them. They put the pie at the bottom and put heavy

things on top of it, which ended up ruining the pies. They
poured salt all over the place and did wonders with the butter.

George got the butter stuck to his slippers. After he got it off

his slippers, they attempted to put it in the kettle but it
wouldn’t go in. Then they put it down on a chair but Harris sat

on it and the butter stuck to his back. Then they went around
looking for it. After a lot of searching, George discovered that it
was at the back of Harris the whole time and finally they

packed it in the teapot.

And then their pet dog, Montmorency, came into the scene only

to add to the commotion. Montmorency was a naughty dog
whose aim in life was to create hurdles and get scolded. It was

only when he was screamed at that he felt that his day had not
been wasted. So, just when things were ready to be packed, he
came into the room and sat on them. Whenever Harris or

George extended their hand for anything, Montmorency made
it a point that they reach for his nose. He put his leg into the
jam, disorganized the teaspoons and hampered the lemons.
