YUM YUM!!

"Sparkles....have you finished your lunch?!" said Mum

"Yes Mum! All gone! I was a really hungry hedgehog today!!! Yummy!! "

"And have you finished your homework from School?"

"Yes I have mum. All done! It's now time for me to meet all my friends and have adventures!! I love living here at Bramble Lane! I am a hip-hip-happy hedgehog!!"

Bramble lane

Outside his door, all his Bramble Lane friends were waiting!! He opened the door and everyone cheered "Hurrah, Hurrah - Time for Bramble Lane Adventures!!"

Everyone was there, Flump the Field Mouse, Scruf the Dog, Fee the Fox, Marmalade the Hamster, Coco the Squirrel and Sheldon the Tortoise plus many, many more!! "Wow" thought Sparkles... "I have SO many good friends!!"

"Adventure Time!....Where shall we go today?"

All the animals trudged, hopped, skipped and jumped along Bramble Lane path. It was a really sunny day and little birds and cheery butterflies were dancing in the air.......all singing their little happy songs!!

Hello!!

"I have an idea where we can go on an adventure today?!" said Marmalade.

"We could go to the Forest beyond the stream....? "

"None of us have EVER been to the Forest Beyond the Stream?! It sounds exciting...LET'S GO........!!!"

So, all the friends walked along and saw all the pretty things that they could see. "Do you think there will be Fairies there or Dragons?" said Fee the Fox, excitedly.

"I hope there are no dragons...." whispered Sheldon the tortoise (who was a little bit scared!)

" I will protect you... I'm Scruf the brave dog"

"I'm NOT scared of Dragons....NOT ME..!! he barked!

"I have heard that is where the Rainbow Ends and there are pots of gold?!?" squeaked Flump the Field Mouse. He was jumping and squeaking with joy as he ran and caught up with his friends after he, and Marmalade the Hamster, stopped to sniff a little flower or two!!!

"Look at the happy bees! Can you hear the noise they make? It sounds like 'Buzzz Buzzz Buzzz!!!' said Sparkles

Finally they all reached the Stream. None of them had ever been THIS far!!! How would they get across this stream? What was on the other side and what adventures lay there?

Some of the animals were far too small to cross the stream.....how would they get across!??

Suddenly Fee the Fox turned round and said.......

"I know what we can do....all the smaller animals can climb on my back because I am bigger and I will keep them safe and dry and take them over the Stream!!!" "And I can help too?!" said Scruf the Dog

"WOW! " said Flump the Field Mouse. "That is a great idea Fee! You are so smart!!! Smart as a Fox...Ha Ha Squeak!"

So all the smaller animals jumped onto the bigger animals backs and were taken over the stream, safe and dry.

"Yippee!!" said Coco the Squirrel "I will keep my big bushy tail nice and dry now! Thank you Fee. "

"That's ok Coco. That's what friends do.

Friends help each other!"

All safe and sound and now on the the other side of the big stream, Flump the Field Mouse said "I can hear a loud booming noise? As we walk up this stream, it is getting LOUDER..........it could be a Dragon after all?" It could be a GIANT Dragon...oh no........."

"I hope it's not a Dragon?" Said Sheldon who was pretty scared by now!!! (Poor little Sheldon!!) He was really, really scared........and shaking.

"Let's all go and look. We will stick together as one group and see this Dragon......! "

"We are NOT scared are we?!!" said brave Scruf.....

"NO!" Everyone squeaked! "We are not Scared!"
