Information
Plot/Description
Spoiler Warning! A little boy tells his mummy
that he has a person in his tummy. It talks to him at night in bed and
demands to be fed. It tells him to sneak cookies from the tin. The boy
knows it's wrong to guzzle food all day, but he can't help it, not with
the person in his tummy. His mother accuses him of lying. "You are
the greedy guzzling brat! / And that is why you're always fat!" The boy
tries again to explain but his mother sends him to bed. Just then his
stomach begins to rumble and grunt and shake. A voice shouts, "I'm getting
hungry! I want eats! / I want lots of chocs and sweets!" The boy asks his
mother if she believes him now... but she's fainted away on the floor.
