Earl Grey’s Dance with Death
Last Sunday, one of my worst nightmares almost came true. It was early in the evening and I was settled comfortably on my couch watching The Kumars. Suddenly I heard lots of shouting coming from my mad neighbour’s house. Nothing unusual when it comes to their household but I went out to check things out anyway.
I noticed their gate was wide open and the whole family was watching its dog run up and down the road. I just stood by the gate watching when suddenly I noticed that Earl Grey was crouched underneath a car on the road.
I rushed to open the gate just about when the dog noticed him under the car. It was horrifying watching the dog crawl under the car and all I could hear was loud scuffling, barking and hissing.
I tried my best to pull the dog out but I couldn’t get a proper hold on him. And one of its Masters, the Mad Neighbour’s son was transfixed by the car totally unsure as to what to do.
Finally I got my dad’s walking stick and managed to frighten the dog out from under the car. When I looked underneath, I held my breath expecting to find the mangled body of my Earl Grey instead I found NO KITTEN!
I was not sure whether to be happy or to panic. But luckily not long after that, Earl Grey made its appearance and slinked quietly back home. Amazingly he didn’t have a scratch on him!
However, that incident sparked off another row with the Mad Neighbour but I shall not contaminate my blog with details about that Madman.
Now if only Earl Grey learns from his mistakes. I seriously doubt it though because as of right now, I know he is outside Dancing with Death yet again.
