Little Miss Sunshine felt very sorry for
Little Miss Scatterbrain when she heard about her holiday. You see, last year
Little Miss Scatterbrain went on a summer holiday. But being the scatterbrained
person she is she went to the North Pole! It was a bit chilly for swimming. Not
really a summer holiday.
So this year, Little Miss Sunshine decided
to organize Little Miss Scatterbrain’s summer holiday for her. And to make it
really fun she invited along lots of Little Miss Scatterbrain’s friends as
well.
One day Mr Nonsense was
reading the Nonsenseland Times when he had the idea of going to the moon.“Well,
if a cow can jump over it then it can’t be too hard to get
to,” he announced to no one in particular.
Later that day he
mentioned the idea to Mr Greedy. Mr Greedy thought it was an excellent plan.“I
hear the moon’s made of cheese,”he said, licking
his lips. “I like
cheese.” But Mr Greedy did put Mr Nonsense straight about one thing.“It’s
a very long, long way away.”
Have you ever been to Nonsenseland? In
Nonsenseland, the grass is blue and the trees are red. And all the cars have
square wheels. Why? Easy! So they don’t roll away when they are parked on a
hill. I know, what nonsense!
And in Nonsenseland they hold a sports day
every summer. Nothing silly about that I hear you say. Well, you’ll just have
to wait and see.
Mr Small was very excited. It was the big
football match on Saturday and Mr Small loved football. But there was a
problem. Mr Small was … a bit too small.
But Mr Small was determined to play. On
Saturday he arrived at the football field all ready to go. He really hoped he’d
be picked for the team.
Little Miss Curious lived in a curious
shaped cottage next door to an ordinary shaped cottage. And in the ordinary
shaped cottage there lived a little boy called George. George and Little Miss
Curious were good friends. They sat out in the garden together under the apple tree
and wondered about things.
They wondered about things like, “Why do
trees have bark, but don’t go woof?” And things like, “Why do trees have trunks, but they don’t have tusks?”
