Story 305
The Dud
Bud, please don’t do this or that! Bud’s mother would often cry. But Bud would
reply , “Oh, fuddy-dud !”
Once Bud left on spigot to purposely cause a flood. At recess he could never
catch on to Spud : whenever his number was called – instead of catch, he’d scud.
His classmates said he acted like the Hollywood super stud, Hud ; that is until one
day when a pretty lass in his class hammered his NOSE and besmeared his CLOTHES
with blood. Now instead of “ Bud,” everybody now calls him - “ Dud.”
