 The Lost Toy
Dad was just boiling the kettle for tea, when his daughter, Joy, ran into
the room.
“Dad!” exclaimed Joy in a loud voice, “I’ve lost my favourite toy rabbit,
Boing!”
“Don’t worry,” said Dad, “We can find her! Where did you last have her?”
“I was playing shops,” said Joy, “I wonder if Boing has got mixed in with
the coins?”
Dad searched through the coins, but there was no sign of Boing.
“Where else have you been playing?” asked Dad.
“Well, I was digging outside in the soil,” said Joy.
They walked outside.
“Can you show me where you were playing?” said Dad.
Joy pointed, but they still could not see Boing.
Suddenly, there was a loud “Oink!” It was coming from the pig pen.
“There’s something wrong with Bertie!” shouted Joy and she ran over to
the pen.
Dad joined Joy next to the pig pen and they peered in. They could just see
a pair of bunny ears peeking out from underneath Bertie’s loin.
“Oi, Bertie. You cheeky boy!” shouted Joy. “You are sitting on my favourite
toy!”
Dad rescued Boing from underneath Bertie. She was a little bit muddy
and moist, but luckily, she wasn’t spoilt. Joy decided to give her a wash
before bedtime though, which was a very good choice!
