Let My Fruity Friends Go!

Oh dear, this seems to be quite a chaotic day here in the kitchen! The lady is cooking up all sorts of things, and fruits are escaping left and right. I only hope that I will be able to escape as well!
Hello, I’m Betty Blackberry and I’m in a bit of a jam. Literally! All of the berries left over from that berry pie she was making (which I’m happy to say, Rosie escaped from) are now being made into berry jam!
This is terrible! It seems that, even though many fruits are escaping, even more are being made into delectable treats. Something must be done!
I’m going to do something that’s never been attempted by any fruit ever before!
“Hey you!” I shouted up at the lady. She stared down at me in shock.
“LET MY FRUITY FRIENDS GO !” I shouted in my biggest voice.
I almost thought she was going to eat me right then and there, but instead she swayed to the right and then to the left. And then she fainted.
All of the fruits cheered. Now there was only one thing stopping us: the dog.
