That morning, as each Holiday Boy got up from his respective bed (it was an absolutely cold morning, so cold it felt like a knife had been shoved down one's throat), the two Chums found to their amusement that the electricity was off due to the snowstorm that had blown in from the east; and, as they scampered and capered across the cold wood floor, their breath vapory and thin, they got confused and put on the other Chum’s underwear by mistake, which they found hilariously funny as they made their way through the dark hallway and then downstairs, only to remember that the electricity was still off as they eyed the dark face of the Microwave, realizing in the process that Mrs. Hardy’s five obnoxiously purring cats would be safe for yet one more day.
