It was a sunny autumn day and

Poppy was at her cousin Nancy’s house.

“how about a walk in the woods? –we’ll need to take provisions!”

Poppy and Nancy made a packed

lunch - with Aunt Eva’s delicious homemade bread and flapjacks,

beetroot and lettuce sandwiches and a flask of hot chocolate.

All set – let’s go!


They all headed off into the

woods – Fred went first, followed by Nancy’s horse Pippin.

They walked for ages until they come across a small bridge.

They were all feeling a bit tired

and hungry so they decide to stop

for their picnic and have a rest.

But - Oh no!

“Where’s the Picnic bag?” cried

Poppy.


They must have lost it!

“I know! - Let’s try and catch a fish for our lunch instead” said Poppy.

She carefully tied a rusty old hook

on a long stick, and dangled it into

the river. They wait... and wait...

and wait some more...

And then, they catch something –

“oh dear, it’s just a silly old boot” says Poppy.


All of a sudden Fred starts to bark, – the boot was changing

colour and is giving off puffs of

smoke!

What on earth is going on? Maybe it’s a magic boot?

Poppy noticed a squirrel and an

owl high up in the oak tree, then a

deer, a family of rabbits and a little

hedgehog gathered round them.

Poppy was sure she heard the little hedgehod say “make a wish!” –


P

oppy covered her eyes and wished a wish.

“You too Fred – make a wish – it might come true!” “I wish we were all together, having a lovely picnic..” Suddenly the whole woods came alive and the little animals ran into the trees. Poppy and Fred ran after them– and just around the corner....


There was Nancy and Pippin and all the little animals – with the

most amazing picnic Poppy had ever seen.

“Please join us for a picnic” Poppy

said to the her new animal friends.

And they all had a lovely time.


Especially the little hedgehog

who enjoyed the hot chocholate so much he nearly fell into the cup!

Soon it was home time. Poppy, Fred and Nancy waved

goodbye to their new friends and promised to be back very soon.


The end.
