Mud and prams

   “Try it again,” suggested Mandragor the porcupine, who was coincidentally draped in smoggy blue jeans.
   “If you like, then I won’t!” replied Janz the large grapefruit.
   “But the prams won’t be very pleased,” pleaded alligator Simon, fancifully attired in purple breeches and a grey overcoat made entirely from bottle-tops.
   “They’ll just have to learn to cope with being stuck in the mud then,” interjected Captain Stupendous, the heroic foghorn, who wasn’t much of a pram fan it must be said.
   “Yes, let’s!” chorused the entire group.
   And so they did.
