Everything became a blur as I was grabbed by the collar and thrown against the wall to a laughing snort which I recognized all too well.
Piggy Reagan was on the warpath again and I was his chosen victim; Piggy was his nickname not for his appetite or girth but for his snorting laughter.
“You little Weasel” he snorted ” I’m going to hurt you so much that you will not be able to walk for a year, I’m going to break your arms and gouge your eyes out”.
Piggy was prone to exaggeration when he got excited but I wasn’t overly worried because I knew for a fact that a Weasel was more than a match for a Pig.
My hands were still free so I searched around in my pocket for the survival kit which I never forget to pack before venturing out.
Grasping a Snickers bar I threw it into the air and watched fascinated as Piggy released his grip and snatched clumsily at the offering: running off I chuckled to myself knowing that this Weasel was more than a match for a Pig anytime.
I'm nobody! Who are you? 
You don’t say how old they are but it seems like a rivalry between young uns

I like how Weasel tricked Piggy with that candy bar. Perhaps his girt will increase.

Aesop, now that’s a blast from the past. He was very popular when I was growing up, but seems to have disappeared from the scene.

I wonder why, perhaps because victimology is not celebrated and common sense and an understanding of human nature, its weaknesses and strengths is.

instead of “celebrated,” perhaps I should say “encouraged.”

And as Piggy seems to lack in the brains department, that distraction can be used over and over!

Good one. At first I thought it was going to be a tale about a pub! Then quickly cottoned on it was about school bullying. A Snickers bar (known as a Marathon bar when I was a kid) and some schoolboy cunning saves the day!

I’ll drink to that. You can write a lot of stories based on pub names……or better still write a story inside a pub.

Glad for the brains over brawn outcome. Bullies, of any age, are the lowest form of life.

I agree, Clark. I’ve been through it myself. East London in the ’50s and ’60s was very territorial.

Perhaps all is not as it seems. I suspect there may be something more afoot here. What trickery might a certain weasel have been up to in the conspicuously missing prologue?

😄 That was a good tactic employed by Weasel. He knew Piggy was food oriented and easily distracted. 😊 I love a story were the bully is thwarted.

Thanks for your prayers, Abi, she is recovering well and nearly back to normal. It has been a long eighteen months for her, with one thing after another, but hopefully it’s now behind her. I’m still trying to get into the mood and back on WordPress. Hopefully soon.
