The door had always worked perfectly well until the day that Mr Feed-Me cut a hole in it and fitted a flappy thing. Then the door stopped working and everyone started acting a bit crazy...

Mr Feed-Me was on the floor using it as a window. Mrs Feed-Me  kept calling to Basil through it instead of opening the door, and Small Feed-Me tried to post Basil through it like a letter.

Then one stormy night Basil found that he had a use for the flappy thing after all, but it wasn't really what Mr Feed-Me had had in mind...
