animal stories
a story of bruce the goose
a squadron of geese was migrating south
when one in the ranks opened wide his
mouth
and out came a sound new to their ears
it made them all laugh and reduce them
to tears
when things had calmed down they were
all lost for words
for bruce had a problem uncommon to
birds
they soon worked it out it was the
hiccups for sure
so discussions began about finding a
cure
one goose cried out water that's what
you need
get down to that lake and have a good
feed
so down they all swooped united as one
they'd stick by poor bruce till his
hiccups had gone
[Music]
no that's not the way another goose
cried
you must sip from a cup but from the
wrong side
well bruce gave it a try but by the 10th
cup
he keeled over full and had to give up
now one of the flock had trained as a
nurse
so she cooked up a cure before things
got worse
what a stink taker smelled a
gold fish a poor bruce was desperate
and he took hold of the dish and he
spooned it all down
eating up every drop but his hiccups got
worse
they just wouldn't stop
they ran out of ideas by the end of the
week
until a naughty young goose stuck a pig
on his
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
had bruce being cured had the young
goose been clever
no bruce hiccuped again this time louder
than ever
a committee was formed later that night
to provide poor old bruce with an
almighty fright a plan slowly formed
but it had to depend on the cunning and
wit
of their medical friend the bruce was
called forward
for a medical check his bits were
examined
especially his neck the nurse said young
bruce
you're decidedly weighty and you've got
a condition
that affects one in 80. first you get
spots
then you get lumps your feathers turn
purple
and fall out in clumps once it has
started
it cannot be stalled i'm afraid within
minutes
you'll be totally bald
[Music]
well bruce's jaw dropped
his heart went a clatter this was no
joke
but a serious matter then the nurse
pointed out
that since his jaw dropped his hiccups
had stopped and there's no need to worry
she firmly insisted the disease i
described
it never existed then the geese burst
out
laughing there's a laughing torque they
giggled and chuckled and fell on the
floor
but it's a dangerous thing to laugh with
such glee
and bruce knew too well what those
dangers could be
for laughing that hard does strange
[Music]
so bruce sat back and
smiled at the flock now they
were the ones who were in for a shock
