FLOUR, EGGS, MILK AND butter were in short supply at the local Costcutter supermarket as toys rushed to make pancakes for Pancake Day.
'It is actually called Shrove Tuesday,' Sunnydale teacher Miss. Pancake told her class this morning, with no idea why mischievous pupil Kaitlin Cooper was giggling so much.
'I always love a good pancake,' the teacher continued, to the uproar of the class.
'Shrove Tuesday came about as the day before Lent began toys wanted to use up all their blah blah blah,' she explained.
Others, however, have found Pancake Day less enjoyable. Boston resident Ducky Mallard was looking extremely worried sitting on the bed today.
'I tossed up a pancake into the air and now its stuck on the ceiling and I can't get it down! It is going to fall onto my head any minute! I'm so worried! That said panckaes share a lot of the ingredients of bread so the prospect of having one fall on my head is at least slightly tasty.'
As our reporter left Boston, a loud splat was heard followed by an embarrassed quack.
Ducky is two years old.

King and Queen visit their homes in South Africa
WORLD NEWS
KING CHRIS of Smallvania is expected to visit his former home in Cape Town today. Exclusive sources told the Express that Emily would escort the teddy to the house where she found him nearly two years ago.
Over six thousand miles away from Toyland, Chris will meet his former owner, Chris, who he is named after. Past biographies of Chris' life have said he was known by the name Jeremy until he was renamed by Emily and her brother.
'It's like a pilgrimage, visiting the places we used to spend so much time in before we moved to Toyland,' texted Queen Spurry to her online blog.
'Weather very hot at last, was very bored of rain!' she added.
Queen Spurry will be hoping that her husband's visit to his home is more successful than her own trip home. On visiting the Spur restaurant in Hout Bay, where Spurry was sold by a person collecting for charity, Spurry was heartbroken to see it had closed down. The royal couple drove to a different Spur but it is rumoured that they didn't enjoy it because there was a bouncy castle just outside the window and every few seconds toys would jump up and see them eating.
'It put me right off,' Spurry complained to a waitress.
After visiting Chris' home, the rulers of Smallvania are expected to go to Pick n Pay to stock up on Nik-Naks and South African Jelly Tots.
Chris is 42 years old.

Cheeky wins jackpot in new casino plans
BOOKMAKERS WERE SURPRISED yesterday to find that King Cheeky has won his bid to be taken to Cape Town with Emily.
He was the outsider, lagging behind the favourite Marissa, to be taken. The odds that he was to be chosen were 100-1.
'He needs to see his home,' commented Emily over the phone last night.
The news was greeted with happy surprise by toys who had feared King Cheeky of Boston had been all but forgotten by Emily. It will lead to the unprecedented position that the kings of both countries in Toyland will be on holiday. Queen Nala is likely to look after Boston, while King Chris and Queen Spurry of Smallvania are rumoured to be leaving Mayor and Mayoress Puddleduck in charge for the two weeks.
Cheeky heard the news whilst announcing he was allowing a miniature casino to be built in Boston. There has been a slot machine toy from Las Vegas on the shelf for some time but the king says he wants to provide lots more games.
'I say yes poker and monopoly and Cluedo with toys betting real money!' said His Royal Highness, promising the casino would provide many new jobs for the country.
The happy approach the Spots family is taking to gambling is to be contrasted with Smallvania, where sales of Doctor Who game cards in the House of Bramble Department Store have slumped. This is because the local school, Sunnydale Juniors, has banned the cards.
'They are dangerous,' said Miss Pancake. 'The children could cut themselves and then the lawyers would be on top of us.'
Emily, Cheeky and other lucky toys leave for Cape Town on Saturday. The Boston casino is scheduled to open later in the year. Doctor Who cards are banned indefinitely.
