Don't Tangle with Lily


Lilly Skye was having a bad day. She had driven in to town to visit her bank manager because she wanted a small loan to extend her herb garden. He had laughed in her face. The manager did not believe in giving women loans. Not for such an idea which would not make the bank much interest. He could see the adventure was bound to fail because she was a woman. Didn't have the stamina of a man to make the company grow. Or a man to help her with the project.
You are a security risk,” the manager said. “There’s no way I am giving you money for such a crackpot idea.”
Her temper raised beyond boiling point. Lilly stood up quickly sending the chair flying and headed for the door. She stopped at the door to stare daggers at the manager. “Your bitch will have kittens.” snarled Lilly, then slammed shut the door.
During the afternoon the manager received a hysterical phone call from his wife. “I can’t believe it. My poor Betsy. She’s delivered a litter of kittens. How could that happen?”
Don’t be silly, Dear. How many drinks have you had to celebrate. Dogs don’t have kittens.
Here.” she sniffled, handing the phone to the vet. “Tell him. He won’t believe me.”
Daniel. You’re dog did have kittens. I delivered them,” the vet told him. “Never seen anything like it before in all my years of practice.”
I don’t believe either of you.” Daniel snapped. “You trying to play a joke on me?”
No. God’s honest truth” You can come over to see for yourself,” said the vet.
I’ll be right over.” snapped Daniel, slammed down the phone, grabbed his coat and was heading out of the office.
Daniel, where are you going?” asked his secretary. “You next appointment is due.”
Cancel it.” Daniel barked as he strode past. “An emergency has come up.”
What will I tell them.” She shouted to his retreating back. This was not like her boss to leave a client in the lurch.
Use your imagination,” he yelled, as he pushed the button of the lift.
Daniel strode down the street to where he had his car parked. Or should have been parked. All he could see was a brick wall with flower pots sitting on the top with an array of chartreuse colored flowers in them. He looked over the wall to find his car was locked behind the brick wall and there was no way to get it out without breaking down the wall, them he would have to break the cement blocks which had chains padlocked to each wheel.
He hailed a cab to get to the vet and had to push his way through the crowd of reporters, and curious on lookers, to make his way inside.
You made it, Dear,” his wife sniffed.
How did the vultures get to hear about the kittens. Did you inform the press?”
No body here did,” replied the vet. “They just turned up. Thought you may have.”
Don’t be stupid. Why would I want them to know. Well. Where are the miracle kittens.”
They all entered the room where the dog and kittens were. The kittens were snuggled up with the dog in the basket. Betsy looked up as they entered then hung her head as though she was ashamed for delivering kittens instead of pups. Daniel collapsed to the floor in shock. Betsy licked the kittens with love. They were all hers. She didn't care if everyone else didn't love her babies. She did.
