Length: 264
Characters: A jumper, John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Mrs. Hudson
Summary: A jumper tells its story.

First Stripe: I thought I was a fairly attractive jumper but I’m down to half
price and still no takers. Maybe stripes have gone out of fashion again.
Hang on. I’m being carried to the changing room...! Look at me. I really
suit this chap. Hm… ‘Dr. John H. Watson’ it says on his bank card.




Second Stripe: Dr. Watson seems to have cheered up a great deal now
he’s moved into a new place. Sherlock Holmes, his flatmate’s called. (Daft
name. Why can’t people have proper names like Jumper?) Lovely suit.
I wonder what he does for a living. Something sensible, I would imagine.




Third Stripe: I was excited to be taken out today. But there was running…
and fighting… and falling into things… I’ll never be the same again. Though,
on the bright side, if I become an ‘only good enough to be worn around
the house’ jumper, at least I’ll be safe from further traumatic experiences.




Fourth Stripe: Have had further traumatic experience. The flatmate has
managed to set fire to me. Luckily Dr. Watson wasn’t wearing me at the
time, but I’m ruined! Big hole all the way through. I’m for the rag bag...
Though their landlady says she might be able to do something with me.




Final Stripe: I have become a set of leg warmers. Mrs. Hudson attends
some kind of dance class at the leisure centre as therapy for her hip.
All the ladies are over 60, but the dancing is… You know, it wasn’t quite
what I was expecting. Let's just say, the traumatic experiences continue.
