Mingin Ming

Did I dream the haill thing up? thocht Chloe as she lay in her bed. She wis in that placie atween asleep and awake. That placie whaur ye can still mind dreamin. It wis 4:48am, and noo she wis stertin tae doot if Mr Mingin even really existit.

At daw o day her curiosity got the better o her. Chloe creepit doon the stair, and tiptaed ower the cauld weet gress tae the shed door. She hung aboot ootside for a meenit, afore openin it.

“Acht, there ye are!” said Mr Mingin. “I am gey hungert this mornin. Poached eggs please, if that’s awricht wi you. Runny in the middle. Sassidges. Mushrooms. Grilled tomataes. Sassidges. Baked beans. Sassidges. Breid and butter. Broon sauce on the side. Dinnae forget the sassidges. English breakfast tea. And a gless o orange juice. Thank you awfie muckle.”

Chloe kent noo she hadnae dreamed the haill thing up, but she wis stertin tae wish she had. It wis aw hert-stappinly, frichteninly real.

“Wid freshly squeezed orange juice suit ye, sir?” she spiered sarcastically.

“Ken whit? I’d raither hae some that’s jist a wee bit aff. I prefer it. Mibbe some that wis squeezed aboot a month ago?”

Jist then, Chloe spottit an auld dug-lugged bleck-and-white photie that Mr Mingin had pit on a shelf. It shawed a bonnie young couple staundin proodly nixt tae a big braw and perfectly roonded Rolls Royce, parkit in the drive o a muckle stately hame.

“Wha’s that?” she spiered, pointin at the photie.
