School was closed for the day so Kit and Lydia spent the day
with their friends at Susie the child minder’s house.
“Can we go to the river?” asked Kit.
“Oh yes, that would be wonderful, please can we go to the river
Susie?” begged Lydia.
“Well...it is a lovely day,” said Susie.
“A REALLY lovely day!” said Sanjay.
“A REALLY, REALLY lovely day,” said Kit and Lydia.
“Oh, okay!” smiled Susie, “but it’s too cold to swim.”
“We could paddle,” suggested Sanjay.
“You can paddle if you promise to wear your wellies! Murph, can
you please help everyone find their wellies in the garage?“
Lydia was very excited and raced to the garage to be the first
to find her wellies.
