Budd Dwyer's Tea Party

"What a beautiful day!" cried Budd Dwyer to his most special friend, Mr. Fluffykins the Bunny, as they strolled through the enchanted meadow of Blooming Valley, amidst flowers representing every color of the rainbow, and birds singing the most delightful melodies he had ever heard. He thought to himself, Had I known I would end up here, I would surely have done it earlier!

"Indeed it is! And look what our friends have done for us!" replied the rabbit, gesturing with his white, furry paw towards a checkerboard-draped table in the middle of the meadow. There, Chester Chipmunk, Simon Squirrel, and Polly Possum were seated around an enormous teapot and plates piled high with delicious cookies and sweets.

Budd gasped with delight. "Oh, how wonderful! I am truly blessed to have friends such as you!"

"Oh, it's nothing," said Polly with a chuckle. "It's the least we can do to repay you for coming here." Chester, Simon and Fluffykins all giggled happily. "The king is very pleased," she continued, a strange flicker forming and passing through her eyes. "Our beautiful realm will prosper even more thanks to your aid. Now, shall you start with the tea, or shall I?"

"Me first!" exclaimed Budd, as he lifted the teapot and began to pour a cup for himself. He grimaced, and hastily set the pot back on the table. "Ouch! This tea is far too hot, my friends! I'd better wait."

"Or as I once said... Stay away - this thing will hurt someone!"

Everyone laughed.
