I like this one more than some Potters because it's weirdly convoluted and no one's clear what they've just eaten or who needs a doctor.

the pie Ribby made her. Ribby discovers her deception after she leaves, and decides not to invite her to tea again.

Imagine being invited to a party and knowing that you could not stomach the meal. That is exactly what happens to this poor little dog, but her plan to avoid the pie does not end as she expected.
