I was wandering through the house earlier, on the way to the garden to practise a few golf swings with the number 2 iron and the plastic golf-balls i purchased earlier in the week, when i heard a piteous mewing from below. I located the sound as eminating from the Minion. I was about to kick it playfully as is my want, when i noticed its food bowl was empty. I threw a couple of grains of the dry biscuit food in and it munched away happily.
