It's Mr. Shnoos to manager of the Flusville Factory with Flus News for today.

I've got a lot of rather important factory news to cover, including updates about our pecan

shortage, some updates from the maintenance shed, and a few very important new health

and safety regulations. We begin our Flues news announcements today with letting you know to be alert.

Waffle and Martha came back a couple of days ago and today is their first day back in the factory.

You see, two weeks ago I sent them on a very important task. I sent them off on a big errand collection,

only they could complete. I told them to get me a pen. And not just any pen, I asked Waffle to get me

a bright pink pen made out of chocolate and feathers and I told Martha to find me a bright green pen made out of marble and pizza crusts and I made sure they didn't tell each other I'm honestly terrified about what they're going to return to work with but at least they didn't tell each other. I'm honestly terrified about what they're gonna return to work with,

but at least they gave us peace for two weeks.

Now let's get on to the real news.

We've got a red alert in production.

Honestly, I thought when I heard this I was going nutty, but we're not kidding around.

We are in full-blown panic position because we've got a lack of pecans.

Our precious pecans, which have been promoted promisingly and our new Fisbar products,

have been perceived to be plummeting.

That's right.

We're running out of pecans.

And why?

I hear you ask.

Well, let me tell you.

A month ago, Waffle and Martha said they could handle the deliveries.

And it turns out, maybe I should have been a little less trusting.
