No.72 The Best Mistake Ever

One day mother cat wanted to clean the house. Huckle cat wanted to help. He washed the dishes with too much soap. He dusted the dust all over the room. Huckle was no help at all. You can really help me by going to the store, said his mother. She made a shopping list. Here is what I need, she said, butter cream apples potatoes and oranges. Huckle wanted to help. He ran to the store. But he forget to take the shopping list. His friend Lowly worm was at the store too. What is the matter, Huckle? Asked Lowly. I am not sure that I can remember what mother needs, said Huckle. Do not worry, I will help you, said Lowly. Butter? I think mother said butter, said Huckle. I bet it was peanut butter, said Lowly. He put a jar of peanut butter in the shopping cart. Now let me see did she say cream? Said Huckle. Ice cream! It must have been ice cream, said Lowly, here is chocolate and here is vanilla. Huckle stopped at a big box of apples. Apples? He asked. Apple pie! Apple pie with ice cream is very good, said Lowly. Did she want potatoes, wondered Huckle. Better get potato chips, everyone likes potato chips, said Lowly. And he pushed a big bag into the cart. I think we have everything, said Huckle. Just then Mr Frumble bumped into the oranges. Oranges rolled everywhere. Thank you Mr Frumble, I almost forgot the oranges, said Huckle. But Lowly had a better idea. Get orange soda, he said, you need something to drink with potato chips. Thank you Lowly, said Huckle, we do need a good drink. Huckle paid for the food. I will help you take it home, said Lowly. Lowly opened the door for Huckle. Hello mother, said Huckle, I got everything you wanted. Why, thank you, Huckle, his mother said. Then she unpacked the bags. Huckle! This is party food, I did not want these things! Just then the doorbell rang. It was aunty Rose and her little girl Lily. What a nice surprise, said mother cat. Aunty Rose looked at the table. Oh, she said, are you having a party? Mother cat smiled, why, yes, she said, just for you! Everyone had a good time. When the party was over, mother cat said, Huckle you really are a big help. Your shopping was the best mistake ever!
