The Accident
by carolynholm
Dear Puffin,
I was wakened by a loud noise last night.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Does this concern moi?
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You know it does. I came downstairs this morning and found this vase on its side on the floor. Water everywhere.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
C’est un terrible sight for Madame. But, il faut dire, how does this dreadful accident concern moi?
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I know you knocked it over. You were eating flower leaves again, weren’t you? You know you are not supposed to. They’re not good for you! Not to mention you made a big mess.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Pah, c’est probably Mia who ate les leaves. Et knocked over le vase.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
No, she was with me at the time of the loud noise. Sleeping quietly. Not eating leaves and knocking over a vase.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Peut-être the insane dog Poppy, she is le guilty party.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
No, she was sleeping soundly next to the bed at the time of the loud noise.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Bien sûr, it must have been Monsieur who caused this accident.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
He was sound asleep at the time. I’m afraid you can’t weasel out of it, Puff honey.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Toujours les accusations. Je suis un pauvre innocent little cat who gets les accusations toujours hurled in his general direction.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
We usually give you a pass, honey. You are lucky you’re so cute.
Love, Carolyn
