The high-priced biscuits are arranged in a pattern on the lawn.
“What are you doing, Jamie? Food gets contaminated.”
“I’m writing a pictorial story, Mom, not eating characters.”
But Puppy did not seem to care about stories. He took a mouthful, while Jamie spoke to me.
Jamie’s scream is heart-rending, as he slaps the guilty-looking dog.
“He has eaten up Gretel…”
“Well, that’s just a twist in the story. Now take it ahead to where it goes.”
The biscuits are now on the kitchen table.
“Mom, teach me how to bake. I wanna write a new story.”

Jamie’s scream is heart-rending as he SLAPS the puppy? I wonder what the puppy must have felt?

You have a very valid point, Sascha! The puppy’s agony deserves more attention in the piece. Thanks for seeing the gap! I love dogs.

If its on the floor, then i’m afraid its fair game for the puppy! Great stuff and maybe a storyteller in the making… with biscuits and cakes!

Ah, the life and death of biscuit characters. The temptation to eat them while writing must concentrate the mind.
Fun read.

This is a great response to the prompt, so realistic. I’m guessing Hansel survived the dog’s depredations 🙂

Aw, children’s imagination and some excellent parenting here. I think I might not react so well to the loss of the fancy biscuits!

I love the connection between baking and storytelling in this one. Also well done for adding Gretal from The Brother’s Grimm classic Hansel and Gretal and their gingerbread house. Love it!

Thank you for sharing this funny answer to the prompt. Honestly, if I read a few more posts about the prompt and see the picture of the biscuits more often, I really have to eat some. Lol Have a nice day! Michael
