The Abbreviated Adventures of Mogey & Smush Volume CLVII

One day Mogey walked outside to find Smush hard at work pounding a heavy piece of timber into the dirt at the end of the lane.

"What's the good word there, Smush?" he asked.

"Grapefruit," Smush replied. "I'm putting up a flagpole so we can hoist the new flag of Feedbag Hollows for all to see!" Smush reached into a burlap sack and pulled out an old tablecloth, upon which he'd drawn two stick figures and a meat pie. "See?" he continued. "There's you and me, and there's The Great Meatiness, our beloved First Pie."

"Great job, Smush," Mogey said. "I just have one question: what is Feedbag Hollows?"

"It's the name of our house, you dolt," Smush answered. "Folks've been calling it that for decades."

"Oh," Mogey said. "I always just assumed it was known as The Big Doughnut, or as the Spaniards call it: Casa de Mogey y Smush."
