but obviously Ove and Rune put a stop to that at once.
It would only turn into a bloody mess and lots of noise. And as far as that went, it was all peace and joy.
At least insofar as anything could be “peace and joy” when men like Ove and Rune were involved.
Soon after Rune had built his “pool,” a rat ran across Ove’s newly mown lawn and into the trees on the other side.
Ove immediately called a “crisis meeting” of the association and demanded that all local residents put out rat poison around their houses.
The neighbors protested, of course, because they had seen hedgehogs by the edge of the woods and were concerned that they might eat the poison.
Rune also protested, because he was afraid that some of it would end up in his pool.
Ove suggested to Rune that he button up his shirt and go see a psychologist about his delusions of living on the French Riviera.
Rune made a malicious joke at Ove’s expense, to the effect that Ove had probably only imagined seeing that rat. All the others laughed.
Ove never forgave Rune for that. The next morning someone had thrown birdseed all over Rune’s outside space,
and Rune had to use a spade to chase away a dozen rats as big as vacuum cleaners in the next few weeks.
After that Ove got permission to put out poison, even though Rune mumbled that he’d pay him back for this.
