Oh
One dark and stormy night while Michael was safely tucked up in bed Johnson organized a secret meeting of the toys
It was so secret the toys had to have a special password to get in
Who's that it's me diesel what's the password sausage sandwich?
The tough love secret meetings though she'd never been to one before
It's me what's the password
I've forgotten now. That's not the password
No, no, I mean, I've forgotten what the password is then you can't come into the secret meeting. Sorry
But it's me Macduff without the password. We can't be sure you might be someone else pretending to be Macduff
But I'm the only Macduff in the entire bedroom
I'll get Johnson
Who is it it's me you look like Macduff what's the password?
I've forgotten say sausage sandwich sausage sandwich coming
The toys were very alert in the secret meeting Johnson had some important news
Michael's mother has asked Michael to give Alfred to her tomorrow morning. Wow, that doesn't sound too good Johnson
Perhaps Michael's mother is gonna throw him away. He has been leaking a lot of water lately
Oh, so one of us must go on a secret mission to warn Alfred and hide him. So Michael can't find him
I think I know of a good hiding place good Macduff
All those in favor of Macduff finding a hiding place for Alfred say aye. Aye
Aye, aye. Good luck on your secret mission Macduff. Good luck Macduff
So Macduff left the secret meeting on a secret mission to warn Alfred and find him the perfect hiding place
Oh
The duff hadn't been under the bed for some time
Because Michael had got into the habit of hiding his uneaten sandwiches there and it smelled terrible. Oh
This is the life
There's nothing like a baked bean sandwich to provide a perfect place to rest with something good to eat and oh
It smells good, too
Alfred I don't know how you can stand it. Oh, it's just a moldy old baked bean sandwich
Well, I wouldn't stay here if I were you
Why not? Oh
I know you're trying to trick me. You just want my baked bean sandwich for yourself. Well, I'll tell you this for nothing
I'm not leaving
But Michael has to give it to his mother tomorrow morning. What?
She'll find out about my leak and then and then and then she'll throw me away
It's all right Alfred. I know the perfect hiding place
I'm coming
Oh
Johnson's house. Oh
Yes, good luck Alfred. Oh, thank you McDuff. Oh
McDuff from now on you can annoy me as much as you like
Oh McDuff, I promise I'll never be rough again
What are you doing in here Alfred you're supposed to be hiding from Michael
Well McDuff said your house was the perfect hiding place for me trust you McDuff
It's the first place Michael will look we'll never send you on a secret mission again
Now I'll have to think of somewhere to hide you Alfred, but this is my first secret mission
I'm allowed to make one mistake
You're right off you go then come on Alfred. I know another hiding place. Oh
Oh
Thank you Johnson. Good luck Alfred. Thank you. We have to hurry McDuff. Well, Michael's mother will throw me away
Just say sausage sandwich what sausage sandwich
You can come in Alfred has to hide in the wardrobe squeaky. It's the perfect hiding place. Oh
Oh where can I go McDuff I
Can't go in the wardrobe. I can't stay under the bed and I can't even hide in Johnson's house. Oh McDuff
Where am I going to go?
I think of something Alfred. I've got it the chest of drawers
We'll have to hurry
It's nearly dawn
You've got to hide in the top drawer Alfred
What do you think I am McDuff? A pair of underpants
McDuff huffed and puffed trying to hoist Alfred into the chest of drawers where he might be safe from Michael
Oh good McDuff I'm nearly there but Alfred was much too heavy for her
This is very good. Oh, oh
What are you doing Alfred what does it look like are you playing high jumps of course, I'm not playing high jumps
I'm trying to hide in Michael's chest of drawers. Hey, but Michael will find you there
Oh didn't McDuff find you the perfect hiding place?
Well, I found three of them, but none of them are any good. Oh
No
Where am I going to hide? You'd better find somewhere quick. It's morning
I can't hide in a wardrobe. I can't hide under the bed. Oh, no, I can't hide in Johnson's house
I can't hide in the chest of drawers. Oh
Where am I going to go?
The next morning it was very quiet in Michael's bedroom though. There was definitely something very odd going on
Johnson
Oh McDuff. Did you hide Alfred? My secret mission was a failure
Michael found him in the middle of the floor
Not a very good hiding place McDuff. Well, there are no good hiding places in Michael's bedroom poor old Alfred
I
Guess he just didn't stand a chance
We'll never see him again
Johnson, what's that sock doing on your nose? I wonder where that came from. Hey
Who's throwing socks?
Who threw that?
Look there on the bed
Who is it?
It looks like Alfred
It is. It's me
Alfred, what are you doing up there?
I'm Michael's hot water bottle again. Michael's mother didn't throw me out. She mended my leak. Look, I've been patched
You
