The blue tomato

It was a Wednesday.

On Wednesdays, Nana always goes to the supermarket to do some shopping.

This Wednesday was a lovely, sunny day. Nana’s green car sparkled in the sunshine.

At the supermarket, lots of people were already getting their shopping. Their cars sparkled, too, but they were not as sparkly as Nana’s green car.

The donkey with sad eyes

It’s Charlie’s birthday today. He is 5 years old.

Charlie is on holiday. He’s staying with Auntie Annie at the seaside.

“What would you like to do this morning, Charlie?” Auntie Annie asked. “Your birthday party doesn’t start until 3 o’clock.”

“I want to ride on a donkey,” said Charlie.

“Do you?”

“But only if you ride a donkey, too,” said Charlie.
