I like animals, I found this story very funny want to shear this one - it's a hoot !

[ERIC SHARP]

- What a funny squirrel! I showed Marianne the picture on a magazine.

- Oh, don´t talk about squirrels… she sighed.

- Why?

- Our neighbor isn´t talking to us.

- What? Again? What this time? Something to do with squirrels?

- Oh yes.

- Let´s hear it!

- All right. The other day we were a bit tired and had a nap after I had done the laundry, and before it was time to start preparing dinner. Well - I was just about to fall asleep when I heard some noise from the veranda. An odd clatter. John of course did not wake up, but I had to go see what it was.

- Well, what was it?
- I had put some of the more delicate laundry to dry in a clothes airer, on the porch. The kind that stands on the floor. Wouldn´t want my underwear be visible to everyone, I´m sure you understand.

Which I did.

- So - I saw the clothes airer moving on its own through the window. Sort of hopping clumsily.


- What? Again? Weren´t the walking flowers enough?

- Obviously not… I opened the door to see better and the culprit was staring right at me from under the airer.

- A squirrel? I counted one and one together.

- A squirrel. But a very funny squirrel. I mean - why would any squirrel want to steal my bra?

Now that was a question I could not answer. I pleaded to my lack of experience in squirrel psychology and waited to hear how the story of the funny squirrel continued.

- This particular squirrel was doing its best to take my best bra from the airer. Yanking it with both front paws and teeth also. I of course let out a yell to scare it off, but to no avail. I did notice, though, how our neighbor woke up in his hammock. Warm evening, you see. He was also taking a nap. I think his wife had made him take his nap in the hammock - I do believe he snores.

I nodded. Very annoying thing, snoring.

- Right at the same moment when I yelled and our neighbor woke up, the squirrel succeeded. And before I could do a thing it had taken the bra strap in its mouth and started running away. My best white bra! Now I of course ran after it yelling "Come back you bastard!"

- You didn´t?

- I did. Perhaps it was a bit strong choice of words, but I wasn´t going to let my most expensive lingerie disappear into any squirrel´s nest. I managed to grab a broom that was leaning to the wall of the playhouse. I tried to reach the running bra with it.

I could imagine the sight. Marianne running like a sprinter, holding the broom like a knight in a jousting tournament and a squirrel dashing through their garden in front of her.

- But why doesn´t your neighbor talk to you anymore? I don´t get it.

- I had no time to look, but I heard the door slam and that must have been him going indoors. At that moment I got a hold of the bra with the broomstick and that stopped the squirrel. I grabbed the other strap with my hand and pulled - and can you imagine: the squirrel would not let go!

- No…

- Oh yes - the funny squirrel just kept yanking at the other strap! Eventually it let go and I got my bra back. I walked back to the porch and noticed the neighbor´s wife by the fence.

- Do you know what happened to Ed? she asked.

- No - I didn´t notice anything! I said and hid the bra behind my back, - What´s the matter?

- I ´m worried about him… He just ran into the house and yelled that your bra was running away from you and you were flying after it on a broom… He ran to see through the window and said you and the bra were fighting, because the bra did not want to come back.

I exploded in laughter. Marianne looked at me disapprovingly.

- Well the grass was a bit long, I admit, so I suppose he did not see the squirrel, Marianne sighed, - Especially when the sun was already going down and there wasn´t much light. The white bra must have been quite visible, though, hopping along the lawn. And if you think of it, I was holding the broom to my side. But to say I was flying with it… Now that´s a bit thick!

I looked at her flaming red hair and said nothing.

- But ever since then he won´t even come out if he sees me in the garden!

- Perhaps you might discuss the matter with his wife? Tell it like a joke to her. I´m sure the story goes to his ears too.

- You think?

- Yes, I do. Just to keep your neighborly relations good. I mean it might damage your good reputation if he goes about telling how you fly in your garden with a broom, chasing runaway bras.

- Well maybe I should do that then, Marianne said.

- Yes, maybe you should.
