Guppy sees the notice and looks at his steadily increasing tab.

To Mr Mike and Mr Indy,
I would be happy to watch your elephant. Would it mind being in the company of a small magical flamingo? Because I've just gained one and I would have to keep an eye on her at the same time.

Dear Mr Sandhu,

Thank you for your kind offer. Unfortunately, Stampy's track record is rather poor with regard to interactions with birds of both a magical and non-magical nature. She ran foul of a sparrow shortly after we adopted her, and she has never been the same since. The sinister ducks on the lake have not helped matters, and it has now got to the point where she whimpers every time we have Kentucky Fried Chicken for supper. As such, we are cautious about leaving her under someone else's care in the company of any birds at this time.

However, we are diligently trying to work with her phobia and would like to introduce her to some amiable small birds in a controlled environment in the near future. Would it be possible to set up a 'play date' for our miniature creatures and see how they get along? We'd certainly appreciate it. Please let us know.

Regards,

Messrs Jones and Angelo.

Guppy sees the note and scribbles a quick response.

Messrs Jones and Angelo,
I'm sure that would be fine. She's a bit wild, so you might want to wait a little while. At the moment she would be more likely to scare Stampy than encourage him. At the moment I'm teaching her to write so that we can communicate (she has trouble speaking but none understanding). When she can assure me that she will behave I'll get back to you!
