The rules of the race stipulated that you would be disqualified if you placed a foot on concrete at any point during your run. I decided to make the wood my starting point and see what would happen.

Inevitably I couldn’t keep to the rules and soon I found myself joining AC, KL and RA for a standard trot along London Road. A short rest along the route turned into a whole afternoon of dressing up. Everyone was impressed with how I could enlarge and shrink my body just like Alice in Wonderland. This special talent proved extremely useful because it allowed me to try on all the clothes available.

The fun came to an abrupt halt when TPR summoned me by phone. He ordered me home immediately to cook his supper.
