The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume XLVII

One day Mogey and Smush were on a jaunt through the heath--the sort of jaunt you take when you've just consumed a very large pot of cream soup--when they saw something they'd only heard of in the most frightening of tales.

An old and muddy crone leapt with shocking agility from the peat bog just ahead of them and stood, blocking their path through the heath. She cackled loudly and began to sing.

Dumplings Dumplings
Dumpling Stew
I cook Dumplings,
Eat them too!

"No!" Mogey cried. "It can't be!"

"It is," Smush replied. "Tis the Dumpling Witch of Ipswitch. She'll make us eat dumplings til we can't stand up, and then feed us her famous cheese sauce! Run for it!"

And so Mogey and Smush broke into a full gallop, as the Dumpling Witch of Ipswitch chased after them, shrieking and showering them with delicious fresh dumplings from her dumpling satchel.
