Mr Dot Opens his Pizza Shop

Mr Dot was very pleased when Mr Know told him that the K. C. Bunnyborough committee has given their permission for him to open a Pizza Shop and sell pizzas at K. C. Bunnyborough.

 

Mr Dot quickly got his building transported from his last location and set it up at the allotted place given to him to have his Pizza Shop.  Mrs Grayson and Mrs Grayson/blue think his shop is a bit shabby; maybe it needs a female’s touch. 

They give him  two containers of tulips in a half barrel and plant four gerberas in front of the Pizza shop's eating area.

 

Mr Dot invites the Grayson Family to be his first customers and will give the family a free pizza meal at the shop.  His daughter, Ingrid will be his assistant when theshop is open and Mr Dot will cook all the Pizzas.

His next customers are Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail. They order a carrot, cheese and puha (vegetable) pizza. Mr Dot welcomes his first paying customers and Mr Dot and Grandfather Cottontail talk about the places they have visited. While Mr Dot is talking the White family and Pink Nose arrive and order a pizza. Mr Dot is very pleased. Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail would prefer to have chairs to sit on at the Pizza shop.

On Mondays Mr Dot will deliver pizzas to the North. On Tuesdays he will deliver pizzas to the South. On Wednesdays he will deliver pizzas to the West and on Thursdays he will deliver to the East. 

It is twilight now and the Pizza shop does not have electricity. Mr Dot tells Ingrid he will close the shop now and asks her to clean and tidy the shop while he goes and cuts some wood for tomorrow.

 

The shop is closed and it is dark but the lovely smell of the piazzas still lingers and the smell hasn’t escaped two twitching noses that belong to Ricky and Ruth Rattie.  They are lured by the smell to the Pizza shop.

“This is a new shop,” Says Ricky to Ruth, as he looks at the gap between the foundation and floor of the shop.  He crawls through with Ruth close behind and comes out between the two floor levels. They find the left over wrapped pizzas  on the back shelf of the counter.

“Yum, Yum,” they murmur as eat the pizzas.  When they eat all they can they s q u e e z e out the same way they got in.

 

Ruth sees Mr Dot’s bike for pizza deliveries and asks Ricky to give her a ride.  They enjoy a bike ride and are returning the bike when they hear a noise. They abandon the bike and run away.

 

Next morning Mr Dot notices his bike on its side and Ingrid sees the mess inside the shop .

 

Mr Dot contacts Mr Know and he comes and examines the paw prints on the bike and teeth marks on the half eaten pizza.  “I know who has been here” he says, “The Ratties.”  Mr Dot will not press charges because no damage has been done. They can do three  hours of cutting wood.
