"Well, I just bin thinking’ ‘bout

it," said Maise - "and I’ve
realised if we’re having

visitors that means me and BJ
have to stay in th’ house and

we won’t get to go down back."
"Well it’s because you always
want to eat visitors," said

Rosie. "And that’s much worse
than wanting to eat ducks." " I

can’t help it" said Maisie. "I
just get so worried about

people coming that it scares
me, and I feel like I need to protect myself by biting them before they do

something to me."

"Yeah - and it makes me so

nervous when Maisie gets worried
that I don’t really know what to

do either," added BJ. "And when
I don’t know what to do, I either

pee on it or bite it - or both!" "
I’m really sorry that you miss

out" said Rosie "but Mums and
Dads just want to keep everyone
(including you two) safe. You’ll

still get juicy tasty bones to
have."
