      Curios in the Garden

      Synopsis

      Curios in the garden is a children's tale about stone ornaments. They seek the help of real animals, to rid their lovely garden home of some undesirable pests.

      Over-run with these pests, the curios ask two pet donkeys and the over-sized pet cat for help in getting rid of them.

      Suggestions as to how this could be achieved are discussed.

      Claude, the leader comes up with an idea that proves to be the answer.

      ‘Here here,’ cried Harry the small yellow rabbit.

      A few other animals joined in with Harry. There was a terrible din when they all began speaking at the same time.

      ‘Hush,’ ordered Mesdames’ Ying and Yang; the two porcelain Chinese heads. ‘What is all this about anyway?’ they asked in unison.

      The twin grey Donkeys, Megan, and Laura, told the Mesdames’ that there had been an incident. Claude was calling for an investigation.

      ‘Humph,’ they sniffed, ‘why waste time on an enquiry; we all know who is responsible. ‘Henry the big brown hare opened one eye. He had been sleeping through the meeting. Yawning loudly he stretched. His very long ears pricked
