Bobetta and Bill
Bess Titchener
Here I am, interviewing two gnomes. Bobetta and Bill. Bobetta is a cook. She greeted me here with a fabulous crunchy nut, toffee chocolate cake, topped with sugared strawberries and chocolate grapes.
Bill is a farmer. He plants radishes, turnips, potatoes, and basketballs.
So, let’s hear a bit from Bobetta!
“Hello, I’m Bobetta, nice to meet you! I am a cook and a cook is I!”
“So, Bobetta, how is it being a gnome!”
“It depends. Some humans think I’m a garden decoration! Garden gnome! Little do they know, I’m the one who fixes their cooking when they go to the bathroom!”
“Oh, that’s bad, Bobetta, I’m sorry! How is it living with Bill?”
“He’s OK, but every time I make a good meal, he declares it’s only good because I use his plants!”
“Oh, OK.”
“SO, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY I MARRIED HIM!!!”
“Oh, umm, OK, Bobetta.”
“I WANT TO MAKE A MEAL WITHOUT BILL’S PLANTS!”
“OK, you do that and I’ll go talk to him.”
As you can hear, Bobetta can grow angry with just the thought of something.
We shall now look at Bill, Bobetta’s husband.
“Hello, Bill!”
Bill is in the barn surrounded by obscure planted basketballs.
“Alright, human being!”
“So, can you tell us about your basketball pitch.”
“I started growing these thingies since I first married Bobetta. Ever since, every nigh’ she takes a ball, and makes Ball Stew. Miam miam.”
“It sounds good.”
Ball Stew sounds like something that could take the world by storm. If I take home a sample, Bobetta and Bill could become the most famous gnomes in. The. World.
