A Winter's Tale

Lady Penelope and I are preparing for bed.

We have our pyjamas on.

We have two warm mugs of cocoa by our bed.

“Can I have a story?” I asked desperately.

“Tell me about a beautiful Winter’s day!”

“Okay, settle down then,” chuckles Penelope.

She begins to tell me the story.

The story is set in a Winter landscape.

I am a lonesome traveller, searching for refuge.

Suddenly, I see a glowing light in the distance.

I run towards it, happy I’ve found refuge.

I find out it’s a cosy log cabin surrounded in sparkles.

I open the door.

Wow! What a sight!

It’s a whole, cosy living room!

And there’s a delicious smell coming from the kitchen.

I follow the smell towards the kitchen.

It’s Lady Penelope!

And she’s…cooking?

In front of me is a whole Christmas lunch.

She asks me to go fetch Parker.

I go into another room.

There is Parker, practising acrobatic skills!

I call to him that it’s time for dinner.

He hears, and says, “Count me in, buddy!”

We settle down to eat.

There is a wide variety of food - turkey, mashed potatoes and ice cream.

After my meal, I feel really tired.

Lady Penelope carries me to bed, and I feel safe and sound.

“The End.”

But I’m already asleep.

Lady Penelope kisses me goodnight.

“Goodnight, darling. I love you.”
