happy Pat was getting on well with his

round he locked his van and and as it

was a nice day for a picnic he took his

sandwiches to a field on the hill above

Thompson

ground it's been an easy day

today it was so warm that Pat soon fell

asleep

oh

dear but Mrs Thompson's hens were wide

awake and Pat had left his Sandwich Box

open with his keys neatly beside

it

[Laughter]

the noise woke Pat just in time to chase

after his sandwiches and then he turned

around in time to see a cheeky hen

stealing his

keys

whoops I must get my keys

back I can't open the van or deliver my

letters without

them oh so that's where you've got to oh

dear it's a long time since I climbed a

tree but here

goes

oops Pat was just reaching out when the

hen dropped the keys and flew

off now the keys were stuck in the tree

and as Pat was climbing towards them the

branch gave way and

oh

oh right in the middle of a PR Qui ly

Bush

ouch Mrs Thompson had heard the

commotion and came to see what was going

on Pat told her about the thieving

hen Deary me said Mrs Thompson the

little devil she must think she's a

magpie or some

such we'd better get a ladder and see if

we can reach your

keys there'll be no more post today

unless we can said Pat that won't do

said Mrs Thompson especially when I'm

expecting a letter from Auntie Jean to

say whether she's coming for Easter or

not so they went for the

things there's my wedding ring that went

missing last Easter I thought I'd lost

it down the

sink that's all right uh I'll get it
