Wilbur Worm and the Umbrella

WILBUR WORM AND THE UMBRELLA Wilbur Worm came out of his hole and looked round the garden. Huge raindrops splished and splashed around him, making muddy pools in the lawn and flower beds. "My favourite kind of day, said Wilbur happily, and he set off across the grass to play in the water.

The Notebook

T H E N O T E B O O K Part one They all wanted to have sex one day. It became one of their nicest pastimes. To search for the boy who would become their first. The only difference with Rosie's dreams from that of her friends was the person she had her sights on was definitely not a boy.

The lost princess

The Lost Princess Faint rays of sunshine bled through the gnarled branches of the tall trees in the Grindle forest. The rustle of small animals in the short tufts of grass startled Princess Romy as she gathered hazel nuts from the small swaying bushes; a squirrel hopped cheekily forward, begging the princess for a few of her nuts from the basket. Princess Romy giggled and bent down offering a handful of hazel nuts to the chattering squirrel, the squirrel took them and raced up the nearest tree to eat them.

The visit

The Visit The fluttering of fairy wings at her pillow awoke Romy from her sleep, rubbing her eyes she focused on the tiny figure now perched on her duvet. "Hello said the fairy "My name is Flutterbye, what's your name? Romy could hardly believe her eyes but managed to reply to the fairy in a shaky voice "I'm Romy, where have you come from? Flutterbye grinned and fluttered onto Romy's chin "Does that tickle she giggled as she ran up onto her cheek. "Yes-said Romy shaking her head. "Well little girl said Flutterbye, "I'm on holiday from fairyland and as I know you are fond of fairies, I thought I would visit you, are you glad to see me? "Oh yes said Romy, "I love fairies, would you like to play with me?

The Gun and the Birdhouse

Smell

It's an appallingly hot day, the hottest in decades, and by the look of the crusher this is a once in a lifetime smell. Pure, concentrated stench
