“Must be something to do with the jelly shower.” replied Karen.

“The jelly shower?”

“Yes, the jelly shower?”

“The jelly shower?”

“Yes, last week Greg and I got woken up by the sound of a meteor shower, it was so bright and so loud. We had to go outside to look at it. It smelled of strawberry. A piece fell just in front of our feet. It looked like jelly, so Greg checked. It was jelly. Just loads of strawberry jelly, everywhere.”

“Why was jelly falling from the sky?” questioned Helen.

“I think it has something to do with God.” Karen assured her.

“Oh.” replied Helen, disappointed.
