AMAZON ADVENTURE
“Here’s another fine mess you’ve got
me into!” Stanley flapped his flippers angrily. “You should never have booked
that Amazon Adventure. We were parcelled up, stamped with a bar-code and delivered
by courier – so humiliating.”
“I thought the Amazon was a river,”
Ollie whined. “And I thought we were going to be saved when that penguin wearing a
backpack arrived, but he just changed the meter and ran.”
Stanley gave Ollie a withering look. “Well,
the only way out of here is through that window.”
“Jeez! That’s a big drop.”
“No problem – we’ll just make a chain
with these paper-clips.”

This was the only story I could come up with after a week during which I was coughing almost non-stop. Yes thanks, I'm better now!
