Mister Drake and the odd Christmas mishap neighbor tale
A neighbor named Mister Drake, described as not clever, mishandles a playful plan. He creates a cosy duck bed in an empty bin, fills a tub with water, sprinkles cheese to deter mice, and tries to attract a sparrow with a bale. He feeds a horse, calfs, and a cow, and at a Christmas party gives Mrs Drake a cold.
