Malachi, Mutzli and the Krówki - a photo on Flickriver

            MALACHI:  “Careful Mutzli!  I don’t want you overbalancing.”

MUTZLI:  “I’ve got the bottom of it in my paws.”

MALACHI:  “Right, well I’ll slide it forward them Mutzli.  If you can step backwards as I do, and then it will fall down like the other one did, and we shall have one Krówki each for afternoon tea.”

MUTZLI:  “Alright Malachi.”  *Ponders.*  “Are you quite sure Daddy won’t mind us eating two of his Krówki Polish fudge sweets?”

MALACHI:  “Of course he won’t Mutzli!  Look how many there are in this sweetmeat dish.  Besides, don’t you have a grumbly tummy?”

MUTZLI:  “Oh I do, Malachi!  Grumbly tummy, Malachi.  Grumbly tummy.”  *Goes to rub tummy vigorously.

MALACHI:  “Careful Mutzli!  Don’t let the Krówki sweet fall!”

DADDY:  “Ummm… Malachi?”

MALACHI:  “Oh!”  *Looks up and sees Daddy watching he and Mutzli.  “Yes Daddy?”

DADDY:  “Malachi, pardon me for asking this, but what exactly are you and Mutzli doing?”

MALACHI:  “Well, I thought that was obvious Daddy!  We are helping ourselves to some afternoon tea. Grumbly tummy Daddy!  Grumbly tummy!”  *Rubs tummy vigorously.*

MUTZLI:  “Hullo Daddy!”  *Blushes pink beneath plush white fur.* “Grumbly tummy?”    

DADDY:  “Then why didn’t you and Mutzli ask me for some Krówki Polish fudge, Malachi?”

MALACHI:  “Well I should have thought that was obvious too, Daddy.”  *Puts paws on hips.*  “We couldn’t find you, so we had to take matters into our own paws.”

DADDY:  “Oh!”  *Surprised.*

MALACHI:  “Now, if you’ll excuse us Daddy, Mutzli and I have to get this second Krówki sweet out of the dish so that we have one each.”  *Thinks.*  “Of course you could hep us, Daddy, by picking it out of the dish for us.”  *Looks hopefully at Daddy.*

MUTZLI:  “Grumbly tummy, Daddy!  Grumbly tummy.”  *Looks hopefully at Daddy.

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 10th of June is “candy”.  This was not the easiest theme for me, only because I do not have the sweetest tooth in the whole world, however I was lucky, as a very dear friend gave me some Krówki Polish Fudge at Easter, and not having such a sweet tooth, I still have plenty left to photograph.  Krówki, literally meaning "cows," are Polish fudge, semi-soft milk toffee candies. When hand-made, they are hard and crispy on the outside, but the inside is more fluid than solid.  It is one of the most common Polish confections, sold worldwide, and might be considered "dulce de leche candy".  If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the “Looking Close on Friday” group.  This includes Malachi the bear, who today is joined by his cousin, Mutzli.  I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!

Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters.  Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia.  He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face.  Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.

Mutzli was a lovely surprise gift from a dear friend in Britain who kindly slipped him into a parcel of other delightful gifts for me.  Like Malachi, he is mohair, has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face.  Mutzli got his name from the tiny gold tag around his neck. He is made by Mutzli, a Swiss bear manufacturer since 1949.
