Long ago in the kingdom of Barkingston there lived a king called Dogsdale Woofeshter.Now as the name suggests,Barkingston was a rare kingdom for it was famed for showing its love for dogs.Dogs,better known as man's best friends were indeed the best friends of all the subjects of the kingdom.

One day the king came back from a long tiring day of discussing the best kind of dog food available.Sleepy and dazed he walked over to his bed and leisurely plopped onto it ,not realising that poor Bruno,the Royal pet bulldog was having a nap right under the bed.

The Royal bed creaked and gave way under the King's weight.Bruno gave a terrible groan and choked.

''Doctor please oh please save my Bruno''the king did wail

''I am sorry your Majesty,he is dead as a doornail''

''Minister!!Minister''at once the king did shout

The minister in his pajamas rushed in with a pout

Oh the embarrasment!Bruno is no more

And I really don't want any skeletons in my store!

Bury Bruno somewhere quick!And no one should know of this deed,

And then rush and get me another bulldog of the same built and breed.

Normal people experience grief on the death of their pets,but King Dogsdale was worried more about his reputation.How would he explain this to his citizens?The King of the dog loving kingdom had accidently sent his own dog to heaven?Blame it all on McDonalds?Bad idea.

And hence the minister was instructed to either bury Bruno's body or get buried himself.He chose the former.

**

Life went on,Fake Bruno was brought and shortly enough the Dog carnival was held in the kingdom.Pamela the poodle of the Duchess of Cambridge was also one of the guests.

She took a look at fake Bruno''Sniff sniff I smell something fake!''

Stop sniffing yourself for God's sake!

Bruno replied with confidence though he was trembling on the inside.Pamela ignored him and the carnival went on.Finally the big game of the day Dig up a bone was declared begun.All the dogs of the kingdom as well as of the Royalty barked in excitement.

Fake Bruno decided that he had to win this game to prove himself.And he sniffed and dug and dug and dug.

Digging deeper and deeper he finally struck upon something.

''Oh look I think I found something white!''

And he dug and dug thinking he was right.

The dogs and their owners rushed towards Bruno's pit

Even the Duchess and the King couldn't elegantly sit

what had Bruno found?They all looked inside

And the King's face grew pale and his eyes grew wide

For what fake Bruno had dug out was not a bone but rather bones.

A skeleton!

Who's skeleton is that?!!who had it been?

The king stammered ''Uh uh ...the the Queen

''The queen Died?!!!''everyone gasped and cried and shed a tear

And the poor Queen went red in the face because she was standing just near

No no!I mean the Queen's dog,the King spoke again

The queen stared at him as if he had gone insane

She pushed her very much alive dog inside her bag

But that didnt stop the dear pet from nosing with the tag!

woof!woof!Her dog barked in confusion

The people looked around for this intrusion

Who did bark?They looked around

But none of the other dogs even made a sound

And then again from the Queen

Came that Woof woof quite unseen

''I barked!''she suddenly said with sad smile

I miss my dog ,you know it's been a while

And just when everyone was quite confused of what exactly had taken place,Pamela the poodle shouted

''Hey wait!The skeleton has a collar!''

And sure enough,the King's minister had commited a grave mistake.He had left the collar with BRUNO engraved in big bold letters.

Everyone turned toward the King who sighed

Oh well yes Bruno has died..

The gasps,the shouts and the moments of despair

Because really,it wasn't qll fair!

So the only thing they thought was right

was to send the king on a balanced diet

And until then Pamela would rule his state

For a poodle She was clever at any rate!

Poor Bruno finally got a proper funeral while Fake Bruno was given a post in the anthropology department.Digging up bones became his job finally!

Skeletons whether literally or metaphorically,whether in your closet ,your bedroom or in your backyard are bound to come tumbling out one day or the other.

We all have secrets we don't want others to know

skeletons out of your closet?That's our only woe

But before those funny secrets-there comes a grave message for a few

Take care of your pets,they deserve the same respect as you

For a little less of ignorance would save those Brunos around

And also save those skeletons from being scandalously found!

Thankyou Gayu :) Umm we are supposed to do a story telling/skit on an idiom.
