Story Time: The Swamp

One warm, sunny day, Buttons and Harry decided to go for a picnic to the swamp. They packed a picnic with extra marshmallows, rubbed in lots of sun cream and set off. They went past Fats’ house on the way and called for him to join them. Off they went down to the swamp. They had a fantastic time sliding down the mud bank into the cool, muddy swamp. Fats made the most ginormous SPLASH when he hit the muddy water.

After they had finished off their picnic, they lay down in the sun to sunbathe. After a few hours they woke up and found that Fats, who was still asleep, had a very red, sunburnt bottom. They woke him up. ‘Heeeeeeeep’ howled Fats, ‘I forgot to put any sunscreen on and my bottom feels like it’s on fire’. Harry and Buttons held Fats over the swamp so that he could cool his bottom down. Then they walked home. Very slowly. With Fats moaning all the way. When they got home Buttons and Harry covered Fats’ bottom in soothing cream and put him to bed with an ice pack.
