‘Mike, why not donate something?’
‘Take this cookie tin that old bat next door gave me for Christmas. Your church folk can use it.’
‘Yes, several bakers could, including said old bat, Mrs Wilkins. You’re sure…?’
‘No!’
‘Okay. Thanks for the tin.’
A week later, Mike received a parcel. He found a raffle ticket on his donated tin, which contained bat shaped biscuits and a note.
'Enjoy, Mike. I bought you a ticket. The raffle supported the Bat Conservation Society. From old bat, Mrs Wilkins.'
