Naughty Guinea Pigs

Once long ago, I had to look after my neighbour’s guinea pigs. There were 11 of them. Their names were Nina, Goldie, Cherry, Motley, Sub Ashen, Chloe, Plum, Isabel, Oval, Zippy and Sophia.
I would put a piece of grass and feed one end to Goldie and one end to Nina and then they would kiss. But, one day when I was feeding Motley she escaped from my hands. I screamed my little head off. Then it was mummy to the rescue (it was like she turned into a superhero). Anyway she grabbed that little pip-squeak and put it right back in its cage.
So that’s the story of naughty guinea pigs.
