| By the
Twelfth Night
|
|
|
| "What are
you doing Katie" asked Olwyn. "I'm setting up the game of
Cluedo that I got for Christmas. Would you like to play?" |
|
|
| "Oh, I
think that sounds like fun. Will you play with us Sandy?
We need more than two players." "Definitely, give me a
moment to put away the hoover and I will be right with you." |
|
|
|
"I think I'll get my new teddy bear to give me some help as you
have Daisy with you Katie." |
|
|
| "We have
everything set out Sandy" Olwyn called over, "and Katie has
taken her move already, are you ready yet?" |
|
|
| "Brill,
mmmm which cards do I have..." |
|
|
| "So what do
you think Teddy?" Olwyn asked. |
|
|
| "I think I
might be able to guess soon" Sandy told the girls. |
|
|
| "You can't
possibly know yet Sandy..." grumbled Katie. "I haven't a
clue yet." |
|
|
| "It's my
turn next" Olwyn said. "These gingerbread men are
really scrummy" Katie complimented Olwyn. "You should try
one". "Will you three please take the decorations off the
tree for me" mum asked them. |
|
|
| "S'pose
so... we're playing Cluedo, we're not finished yet". "Now
please", Mum said. They all stood up and looked at the
tree. It was so beautiful and they didn't want to take all
the pretty baubles and tinsel off. |
|
|
| "It is bad
luck not to have the Christmas decorations all taken down and
put away by the twelfth night." Olwyn told Katie.
"Gosh, you are awfully superstition." |
|
|
| "I'll start
on the tinsel" Sandy told the girls. "I'm collecting the
decorations, do you want to put them into the box, Katie" Olwyn
asked. |
|
|
| "I suppose
we won't get back to our game of Cluedo tonight. I'll put
it back in the box for you Katie." |
|
|
| "Can you
see any more baubles Katie?" "I can see the orange one and
what about that green one at the bottom?" |
|
|
| "I don't
have much more tinsel to take off" Sandy told them.
"You've dropped a couple of decorations on the floor over there
Olwyn" Katie pointed out. |
|
|
| "Goodness,
just look at that tangle of Christmas tree lights. You are
going to be ages untangling them Katie" "Sandy, will you
please help me move the tree outside." Olwyn asked him. |
|
|
| "I'll wind
up these lights Katie." Sandy said as he picked them up.
Mum said that she would put the boxes in the attic later on.
Olwyn called them all over to look out of the window.
"Look, its started to snow outside." |
|
|
| Next
morning when Sandy got out of bed he could hear shouts outside
and he looked out of his bedroom window. Cathy and Greg,
next door, were already outside playing in the snow. They
must have been out there for ages because they had already built
a really cool snowman. "Sandy, are you coming downstairs,"
Olwyn called to him. "Mark is here." |
|
|
| Mark and
Sandy set up the table football game that Sandy had got from
Santa at Christmas. He couldn't wait to play it.
Olwyn and Katie were not really very interested in football.
Katie was playing a computer game while Olwyn was writing thank
you letters to her Aunts and Uncles. |
|
|
| "Bet I get
the first goal" Sandy told Mark. "Nah.... you won't
I am better than you are" Mark quipped. |
