Two heads are better than one.
After his ordeal yesterday, Albert didn't fancy doing anymore washing for a long time. And this suited Sally just fine, because she fancied a cosy day watching the TV with Albert. So Sally sat down, in their brown leather seats getting the TV ready, while Albert went off the make a cup of tea.
As Albert poured the boiling water into the cups, he watched the teabag drift up and swirl around the cup gracefully, leaving in its wake a streak of brown. These streaks of brown kept swirling round the cups until the water was completely changed into tea. The rhythmic dance of the tea, always mesmerises Albert.
As he walked back into the other room, he found Sally stretching under the settee. She had dropped the control and the battery had flown out under the settee. Sally was too big to reach it, so Albert came to the rescue and dived under. A few seconds later, he re-emerged holding the battery like a precious pearl in victory.
Sally held the cover open while Albert re-inserted the battery into the control. They then began to sip their tea and enjoy the rest of the afternoon watching TV together.
