We Saved Mankind!

Posted on
Two small boys – my older brother and I – triumphantly hold up stems and leaves of enormously overgrown rhubarb.

Sadly these days there are few people who know how I – along with my older brother – saved mankind from the scourge of the giant rhubarb, whose serried ranks were poised to conquer the Earth.

However recent photographic evidence has been uncovered which depicts the part we played in that great adventure.

The photograph shows my brother calmly holding two of the monstrous creatures, uprooted and lifeless, while I grip the head of another which would clearly never be a threat to anyone again.


The entire world owes us a debt that I fear will never be repaid.
