The Story of Freginald
“They all stopped work to stare at the two animals, but Freddy went straight up to a little shack which had “OFFICE” painted over the door, and went in. Freginald followed him.
A fat man was sitting at a little table in his shirt-sleeves, drawing something on a piece of paper. He looked up and frowned and said: “Animals outside. No animals allowed in here.”
“Pardon me,” said Freddy politely, “but we have business here. Are you the boss?”
“No, and you’d better not try to talk to him. He’s in a pr...etty bad temper today. What’s your business?”
Freddy explained, and the fat man said: “Well, maybe you better see him. He needs more help all right. This job is two weeks behind already. You’ll find him outside somewhere.” He hesitated a minute, then he pushed the paper he had been drawing on across the table. “Here; this is what he looks like.”
The paper was scribbled all over with pictures of a thin man and a fat man. In one the fat man was punching the thin man in the nose.MoreLess
