Gus and Trudy were so excited. Even though Rosie the Groundhog had made a pig of herself in Elaine's garden, they were sure they had seen a ripe pea pod ready to be picked. It was their plan to run into the garden in between thunderstorms and pick that pea pod. They were worried that Rosie might get to it first.
It stormed most of the day. Lots of thunder and teeming rain.
But Gus and Trudy kept an eye on the window and as soon as they saw a break in the line of storms, They ran outside and picked that pea pod!
They ran right up the stairs to the deck and Trudy tap tap tapped on the sliding door and Elaine let them in. The three of them had a feast - one pea each!
Elaine said that the pea was delicious but she had just baked a chocolate cake and would Gus and Trudy mind tasting it for her to let her know if it was good?
Of course, Gus and Trudy being the friendly sort said that they would certainly taste the cake. Elaine suggested a big glass of cold milk to help them wash it down and they gladly accepted.
When they were finished, Gus and Trudy gave Elaine a hug and went back to their little house in the orderly garden on Bloomfield Avenue.
