After Mogey and Smush had rescued Lord and Lady Plumpbottom's favorite duckling from sure destruction at the hands of Knuckles, the village wolf, the Lord and Lady invited them to dinner the very next evening. So it was the Mogey and Smush found themselves seated at an exceptionally long table with Lord Plumpbottom on one end, Lady Plumpbottom on the other end, and the duckling, Drew, directly across from them.
"Thank you again for having us," Mogey called out to Lady Plumpbottom.
"Oh please," Lady Plumpbottom replied. "It was the least we could do after you saved our little Drew."
"Would you mind passing the salad, Lord Plumpbottom," Smush yodeled.
"Not at all, young Smush," Lord Plumpbottom said, using his spear to shove the salad bowl down Smush's way.
"Ahhh, I think there's been some mistake," Smush said, staring into the salad. "There's hardly any peperoni in this salad."
"Oh we can have the chef slice you some peperoni," Lord Plumpbottom answered. But Smush was already on his feet.
"This is the thanks we get, sir?" Smush demanded. "We only get peperoni upon request? Even after saving your favorite duckling? You people disgust me! C'mon Mogey, c'mon Drew, we're leaving!" Smush said, taking another turkey leg and storming out of the dining room.
Mogey and Drew exchanged significant looks then returned to their food.
