Jeff Brown - Flat Stanley

But Stanley was not hurt. In fact he would still have been sleeping if he had not been woken by his brother’s shout.

‘What’s going on here?’ he called out cheerfully from beneath the enormous board.

Mr and Mrs Lambchop hurried to lift it from the bed.

‘Heavens!’ said Mrs Lambchop.

‘Gosh!’ said Arthur. ‘Stanley’s flat!’

‘As a pancake,’ said Mr Lambchop. ‘Darndest thing I’ve ever seen.’

‘Let’s all have breakfast,’ Mrs Lambchop said. ‘Then Stanley and I will go and see Doctor Dan and hear what he has to say.’

The examination was almost over.

‘How do you feel?’ Doctor Dan asked. ‘Does it hurt very much?’

‘I felt sort of tickly for a while after I got up,’ Stanley Lambchop said, ‘but I feel fine now.’

‘Well, that’s mostly how it is with these cases,’ said Doctor Dan.

‘We’ll just have to keep an eye on this young fellow,’ he said when he had finished the examination. ‘Sometimes we doctors, despite all our years of training and experience, can only marvel at how little we really know.’

Mrs Lambchop said she thought that Stanley’s clothes would have to be altered by the tailor now, so Doctor Dan told his nurse to take Stanley’s measurements.

Mrs Lambchop wrote them down.

Stanley was four feet tall, about a foot wide, and half an inch thick.
