Pottery town - How the fair started

Mrs. Brown was temperamental young lady. There is a rumor going on she was also red headed, not only hair, but also her eyebrows and eyes were red. There is an old photograph of her, but it is only black and white, so it is hard to decide, because nothing is based on scientific fact. It was probably only a rumor. So this lady with strawberry blond hair woke up one morning with her left foot, and how she was trying to stand up, she stepped on her dog's tail. The dog was snoozing, it didn't expect any attack, it got scared, and bit Mrs. Brown's ankle. She was ready to kick it. The dog was mix up breed and it didn't wait, it took off on time, and Mrs. Brown's left foot kicked the air. She lost her balance and ended up in one heap on the floor.
Mrs. Brown woke up late, children already left for school, and left the table full of crumbs, spilled milk, and burnt toast. In the middle of the table sat a cat and was busy licking spilled milk. Mrs. Brown got mad. She didn't have anything proper near her hand, so she threw a chair after the cat. The cat, of course, didn't wait, he took off and disappeared. The chair broke all the dishes on the table, including milk jug, sugar bowl, butter dish, mugs, plates and a vase with fresh cut flowers full of water. Her nerves were not able to handle this situation. She began to pull all cups, saucers, mugs and plates out of the cupboards, and threw them in all directions. Then she began to cry.
It relieved her stress. She found one cup only without a handle, she made a coffee, sat on the chair, lit a cigarette, and began to observe a disaster area she was responsible for. It happened February, 29.
