"Oi've never been tireder! T'was 'ard workering us'n's did in yon orchard!" Soilrose declared.
Soilrose and her companion, Treehop the squirrel Dibbun, pulled tired faces as the Mother Badger walked by.
"I certainlee 'grees wiv ya Soilrose. We oughta be made Redwall Champ'on pickas for dat work us did today! I starvin!"
Mother Mellus laughed. "You couldn't eat a single oat farl, you young rip! You spent almost all the time eating the strawberries instead of putting them in your bucket!" Mellus procceeded to tickle both Dibbuns' tummies.
Soilrose and Treehop pulled innocent, hurt faces.
"We'm did this. Putta stra'berry inna bucket, eat a bigg'un. Dat'un 'hind us'n's ate alla big redda 'uns!"
They pointed to the small, very plump Dibbun vole a few paces behind them. True to their word, the Dibbun's face was redder than most of the Dibbuns', and his bucket only had a few strawberries in it. Mother Mellus smiled at them, then strided towards the Dibbun vole.
"What's your name little one?"
"Ffrikkle."
"You need to come with me to the Infirminary--"
"Whaaaaaaaaaaghhh! Is I gonna shrivel up an' die? I don't wanna shrivel up--"
Mellus placed a large paw across his mouth.
"Hussshhh! D'you hear me, young rip? Hush! You won't die, you just get a nice, cool drink for eating all the strawberries you did, okay? It'll keep your pudgy little tummy from hurting."
After Melus and Ffrikkle were out of earshot, Soilrose and Treehop began laughing. Tears welled in their eyes as they rolled on the soft, loamy ground.
"Hurrhurrhurr! 'E thought 'e was gonna shrivvel oop an' doie! Hurrhurr!"
"I can't stop laughin'! Hahahahahaha!"
As the friends toddled into the dark, cool vastness of the Abbey, tummyache medicine was being poured down poor Ffrikkle's throat.
