Mrs. Spencer goes shopping (2)
As luck would have it she was as right as the rain falling in torrents from the sky. The mole peeped out of the carpet bag. “That would be the climate changing, I suppose.” he chirruped.
“What are you on about?” said Mrs. Spencer, “I was hit by the automatic doors, not climate change.”
All the shoppers who were inside the supermarket ran out and thanked Mrs. Spencer. The electricity had gone out and none of the doors had been working for quite a while. Thanks to Mrs. Spencer there was now a massive hole in the front door where people could get in and out.
But not everyone was happy about this. One of the floor managers flew over, initially to make sure she was alright and make sure she wouldn´t sue the supermarket. When he saw she was fine and dandy he felt free to come out with what he really thought.
“Who is going to pay for the damages here?” he demanded.
“I think that would have to be your boss,” said the mole. Mrs. Spencer tucked him into the carpet bag to shut him up. She didn´t want to get into any more trouble. The last thing she wanted was unnecessary attention.
“Look I can´t afford to pay for this but I can pay you back by working off the price of the damages,” she said humbly.
“Fair enough so.” said the manager.
