Day 6 - Wednesday
On Wednesday morning, Jack looked at Gobbles, waiting on the bed to be fed. Something didn't quite look right but Jack had no time to think: it was time to get something for Gobbles to eat.
"Today, I'm going to be scientific about this," Jack thought. "I really need to do this properly. I'll conduct a small test to find out how much Gobbles prefers."
Jack filled one bowl of Kibbles and placed it on the floor. Then he got two bowls of Kibbles and put them alongside. Finally, he filled three last bowls and placed them at the end. Gobbles laid on the bed and watched Jack with interest.
"Let's see how much you prefer," he said aloud to the cat. "Which set will you go to first?"
It was then that Jack realised that something was seriously amiss. He returned to the box of Kibbles and realised that it was nearly empty.
"But it says that there is enough food for four weeks!" exclaimed Jack. "Four sevens are twenty-eight!"
Jack quickly did a few sums in head.
"One and two and three and four and five and six makes twenty-one!" thought Jack. "I've been
OVERFEEDING Gobbles!"
Jack looked back at Gobbles: all six bowls were empty.
"Gosh!" he thought, "I am going to be in such big trouble with Mother!"
