Eddie began tapping the pockets of his overalls,looking for the new packet of Marlboro he had bought that morning. It was not there. It Was as he swung around tO look in his toolbox for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump. Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet,there Was a lump. A lump the size of a packet of cigarettes. “I’ve done it again!” said Eddie allgrily. “I’ve left the cigarettes under the carpet!” He had done this once before,and taking up and refitting the carpet had taken him two was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house.
