Dear Ultimate,

In response to Tara's writing challenge about uncountable nouns, I am writing this letter to you depicting a fiction story about an incident, that might test your patience.

Do I need to mention the time when you were caught shop lifting at a store. I did not know what had gotten into you. Your conduct was dubious from the beginning of the day as you came out of your house dressed as an Eskimo while I was pondering how hot the weather was.

Since the heat was unbearable, we got into a store to pick up some cold drinks. You picked up a can of Coke and put it in your pocket, that was the first hint of your burgeoning negligence. Then you stuffed four packs of chips. Your outfit already raised a lot of suspicion in the mind of the cashier. I had long forgotten about any hint of your existence, and wandered out. Meanwhile you carried on your venture. My disappearance prompted you to get going hastily, forgetting to pay on the counter. There you were caught by the cashier and his assistant, and they literally made you lick all the dirt on the floor while making you yield all the supposedly stolen stuff. As you had no proof of your innocence. By some good luck I peddled back in to the store only to find you requiring some serious help. As you got back up with the mist clearing in your mind, you let out a scream of fury and steam came out of your ears. But my timely intervention and touch of intelligence prevented any further tyranny. The cashier and his assistant acknowledged your sincerity and asked forgiveness. With your compassion it all ended in laughter.

I hope that you will warm up to the challenge and show honesty by acknowledging the calamity described above.

Your ardent friend

Naveed

P.S I am suspicious there are words that I have wrongly stated as uncountable nouns and some right ones that I may have missed, I would welcome corrections from any one

Correction: in a laughter -> in laughter , thanks to Expector Smith
