stories
“Puss in Boots”
Once upon a time I was fortunate enough to be taken to see a pantomime - Puss In Boots. I dressed up in my sleeky outfit, with my necklace made up of strings of beads and my dress, kitty coloured with red spots. I had two large ears, about two ears ago, and a tail. I was dumbstruck. It was a cat-astrophe. I was walking one day and entered this place and I saw this great big wolf, and I was so astonished I was shouting and miaowing.
“The Nanny Goat”
There was a nanny goat. The nanny goat lived in a field where he used to play chasing the birds and butterflies around in the fields. There was a polar bear and a brown bear. The Queen of Hearts lived in the red hat and the King of Spades lived in the black hat. One day the brown bear decided to go for a walk in the forest, he saw a great big sheep with horns. Then came a lion and butt the sheep with his great big horns. Then, the sheep had a baby! A young lamb.
“I’m Watching You.”
There was a big eagle in Grandma’s flat, a singing bird, a hawk. “If I was a blackbird” was her favorite song. There was a picture of flowers on the wall with a lampshade dangling down. She was just watching her lunch – the little mouse Suddenly the big bird decided she didn’t want lunch and instead had a whisky on mice!
“A Lady Called Joan”
There was a lady called Joan. She was in her living room admiring her collection of nick-nacks. She was out of the bathroom, suddenly, a lion came and broke all the crockery.
“Don’t worry love, I’m not after you, I’m not hungry.”
“Mary Had A Little Lamb”
Once upon a time I was expecting a baby and her name was baby Sheila. She was a professional dressmaker and she made suits, and they were well-made. She also made evening wear for ladies. She knitted jumpers from the sheep’s wool too. She made lovely coats and lovely shoes to match.
“Down Under”
Once upon a time when I was in Australia in the outback I was pleased to see animals hopping about. The meerkats, the kangaroos, and lovely birds, parakeets, wallabies, snakes as well. The meerkats were walking on the sand.
“Oh what a beautiful doll!” “Oh what handsome creatures the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they are all looking at the sea. They were all running about chasing the butterflies and the sheep and all the native animals.
“Motherly Love”
Once upon a time there was a panda holding a baby in bed (the only two people to vote for the liberal democrats in the general election in Scotland)
“Hush baby, mummy’s coming now to feed you… some bamboo!”
