Mr Peters And The Undercover Cage

The house isn't big if it is small.

The husband of Dawn Peters was a surgeon. He would trot up to the hospital every day, cut into the bodies of strangers and then head back home again. He would return on the same route every time, waving at the butcher, the greengrocer and the young girl at the counter in the pound shop. However, one day, as he returned home, he was confronted outside the pound shop by a man on a bicycle who was towing a trailer and a big cage with a blanket slung over it.
''Mr Peters, I bring you a gift'' said the man. He got off his bicycle and untied the trailer that held the undercover cage. The trailer had only two wheels, both at the back, and otherwise looked very much alike the wheelbarrow Mr Peters had discarded the previous day. ''I'll be on my way now'' said the man. And with that, the man climbed back up onto his bicycle and rode off past the greengrocer, past the butcher and up towards the hospital.
Mr Peters wasn't a man of many words. In fact, the only word anybody had ever recalled him saying was 'I do' while he waited for the wedding ceremony to end and for his marriage to Dawn Peters to become a secure point in history. So, as usual, Mr Peters said nothing and slung the rope from the trailer over his shoulder. He hauled the cage round the bend on Corner Street, up the long, bumpy hill on Cobble Street and finally, he reached the turning for Crooked Close. His house stood proud as one of the only five houses on the road. Dragging the trailer past Scruffy Snogheart's house and up his own drive, he wondered what wonder lied beneath the blanket. The last few steps were taken in the direction of his shed round the back of the house. He was a patient man and didn't mind having to wait to see what he had brought home. When he reached the door of his shed he stopped and turned to look at the cage. The blanket covering the cage was moving. It was being tugged from the underside and something was grumbling to itself within the cage.
''Oh no!'' said the it from within.
