It was a warm summer’s evening, and Lottie was BORED!
She was bored and wanting an adventure.
Before the phone had a chance to ring again
she’d awnsered.
‘YES! I’m on my way!’
With a hasty ‘BYE’ over her shoulder, she was off!
Offdown the path, and over thebridge .
Allwas normal until,
On bending down to look...
she noticed something MYSTERIOUS!
After taking a minute to recover from all those Lottie decided to have a wander.

‘oh! Hello little girl, I’m so sorry to frighten you. Here.’
In apology, the giant graciously gave Lottie his flower, gently placed her down, and went on his way.
Feeling relieved, Lottie decided to find her new flower a friend. ‘Oh! Look!’
That one matches my hair!’
a tiny voice protested,
Suddenly
‘That’s MINE!’
‘I’m so sorry!’ Lottie apologised ‘I didn’t realise’ ‘Hmph... I suppose you can keep that one, just don’t do it again’
Content with her new findings, Lottie started to wonder how she might get out of this place .

Tumbling out with a THUD she was thankful to see the familiar blue brick.
‘Are you sure you wouldn’t rather something more exciting than helping little old me?’
‘No Grandad’ Lottie replied. ‘Adventure is all well and good...
...but so is a bit of peace and quiet.’
Lottie is BORED!
