Chapter 26:
The Rowan Tree
❦
That's not the end of it.
The doorbell rang again.
Jerry was going to ignore it
this time
but then he remembered
he had seen Rowan outside earlier.
Why was it the donkey who spoke to him?
Wait, the donkey spoke?!
Anyway, he was spooked.
So he picked up the phone,
called the police.
But Tom stopped him
after looking at the intercom.
'It wasn't Rowan or the donkey,'
Tom says.
It was a deliveryman
surrounded
by one hundred
sheep.
What the #*%&?
About forty-something sheep
were cramped between the door and the gate.
The rest were outside,
wandering in every direction.
'I swear I locked the gate,'
Jerry says.
'Anyway, I told the deliveryman
'I didn't order any stupid sheep
'and told him to take all of them away.'
'But he said I had to sign the paper or he wouldn't leave.'
Jerry looks about to explode.
'What the #*%&, seriously!'
Jerry glares at Tom.
'We shouldn't have signed it.
'We should have called the police.'
Tom frowns.
Leans close to Jerry's ear.
'But we were...
'in the middle of something.'
Jerry sighs.
'That stupid bitch was obviously getting back at us.'
'You said she's a witch,'
Kumar comments pointlessly.
'Ha, she's definitely a bitch too,'
Jerry retorts.
'Because my father made her transfer schools.'
