MAILMAN


Sidi doesn't like our area mailman, and initially we didn't know why. However, one day we spotted the mailman looking around furtively before giving Sidi a kick. While I wanted to report him, I was surprised when Orli told me to let it go.

Days later, screams from outside made me run out in time to see the mailman yank his hand out of our mailbox, fingers caught in a mousetrap. As he ran off Orli apologised, but when he was gone, Orli turned and smiled at Sidi, stroking his head in congratulations on a tag-team assault beautifully carried out.

Ow! What a way to learn a much-needed lesson. ;) Made me grin big, and I really like the conversational tone you took with it. I wish I could pack that much into a hundred words.

Thanks!

Sidi says: He was a Bad Man! Next time maybe I'll Bite Him!
