8. Paragraphs 9-10

 

The narrator continued narrating the atrocities done by his friends Harris and George. At first, he narrated about Harris's packing skill. Later, the narrator describes George's packing skills. It was George's turn and what he did was the most exciting stuff. George stepped on the butter. The narrator came over and sat on the edge of the table and watched their packing. The narrator didn't help them at that moment, and it irritated his two friends. As a result of it, they became nervous and stepped on things. They kept the things behind them, and later, when they wanted them, they could not find them. Usually, people would forget things whenever they were in anxiety. They would keep the things in one place and would search for them in the other place. The two of them were already nervous because their packing went highly wrong. Later, they placed the pies on the bottom and kept heavier things on them. As a result, the pies got smashed.
 
In addition to the smashing of pies, George and Harris poured salt over everything. Then the narrator said that they had spoilt the butter too. After seeing the messy things, the narrator said that he had not seen anyone creating so much mess with a small piece of butter worth one and two pence. Later, George took the butter from his slipper. Then they tried to put it inside the kettle. Finally, they tried their best to bring it out and put the butter on a sitting chair. Later, Harris sat over it, and the butter stuck over his back. At last, they went around the room looking for that piece of butter.
