Le next thing, ‘e get down to try les dressage moves ‘imself – ‘e is awkward.

Unfortunately, ah do. Of course ah am up on all four lambs as fast as ah can and once again ah put on le ‘Quite Interested’ look.

All of le sudden, just as ah am about to doze off in le sun, le clinic director,

Apparently, ah must do as she say or she mart make me go ‘sweem with les croc’. She ‘as that look about ‘er.
‘Do as you’re told young man’ she say, ‘or oi will make you sweem with the crocs’.
At least ah think that is what she say. Ah do not know ‘ow to sweem.

‘Uzzeurr Muzzeur’, ah plead silently, ‘you may come and get me now’.
CIMG0592

‘No really, now would be le good time to rescue me’.
Because ah can not get away ah am smiling le winning smile at le Australian ‘oping she will go away.
But this Australian is asking me le question and ah ‘ave no idea what she just say
so ah keep smile le winning smile until she think ah am le most charming young man she eveurr meet.
CIMG0593

Suddenly she put ‘er right foot in.
You want to dance l’okey Tokey with me?

Ah am relieved L’Uncle ‘as taught me to do this so well.
‘Put le right foot in’ ah am ‘umming le tune.

‘Put your big head out and shake it all about’ ah sing.
CIMG0597

Then ah discoveurr le mark on le coat! Ah must groom it out. This could be le fashion disaster!
L’Australian can wait for me.
CIMG0598

Ah wink at Uzzeurr Muzzeurr – ‘Lucky ah already know l’okey Tokey Muzzeurr’ ah say L’Australian can not teach me anything ah do not already know.
