Puschel’s Mishaps · 33

The Secret Pancake

Puschel freezes in shock with the secretly taken pancake while the long syrup strand leads back to the stack and Flauschi looks at him crossly with folded arms
The longest syrup strand in the Wuselwald points exactly to the missing pancake.

Flauschi had placed a fragrant stack of pancakes on the breakfast table. Then she went to the door for one tiny moment to bring in the fresh berries.

Puschel“Someone has to check whether they really taste as good as they smell.”

Puschel lifted the top pancake with his fork and tiptoed away. He did not notice that a long golden strand of syrup still connected the pancake to the stack.

When Flauschi returned, her eyes followed the shining strand across the kitchen—all the way to Puschel.

Flauschi“Puschel, really?”
Puschel“This is not secret snacking. It is a very important quality inspection!”
Puschel looks at the syrup dollop on his nose while Flauschi giggles behind one paw
The secret taste test ends with a sweet dollop on Puschel’s nose.

At that moment, the syrup strand broke, sprang back and placed a small golden dollop right on the tip of Puschel’s nose.

Flauschi“It seems the inspection ended with a sweet result.”

Flauschi giggled behind her paw. Puschel crossed his eyes towards his sticky nose, started laughing too and shared the captured pancake with her.
