A Pet Called Cucumber

A Pet Called Cucumber

A letter came from Uncle Max. He had sent some photographs.

Mum read the letter out. " I am off exploring again. Please look after my little pet. " " What kind of pet?" said Dad. Mum read on: " She's called Cucumber, and she will be easy to feed. "

" I think it's a kitten, said Biff. " I think it's a gerbil, " said Chip. " No, it'll be a puppy, said Kipper. " I bet she's a gorilla, " groaned Dad.

Just then, Uncle Max arrived. He came in a jeep full of stuff. “ Did you get my letter?" he called. He told Dad to carry a tank and he asked Mum to carry a box. " I will bring my little pet, " he said.

" Here she is" said Uncle Max He put the bag down gently. " Meet Cucumber, " he said. " A snake! " said Dad. " I knew it! " " At least it's not a gorilla, " said Biff.
