Snookums and Squiddle

Tom and Molly lived in the country. One morning, Molly discovered Fluffy her pet the rabbit was missing. Molly and her big brother Tom, also their two pet dogs, Snookums and Squiddle would go on their first, of many exciting, adventures. Throughout the day, but especially on their way home, Tom and Molly talked about all the wonderful animals and all the other magical things they had seen, plus things that had happened.

Molly thought to herself as they were nearly home, that she knew she would dream about their adventure, especially the parts that were like a fairy tale. Tom and Molly talked about how grateful they were to live in the country, as they opened the large gate that led them up past the lovely roses, their subtle perfume this time, didn't overpower their mother's cooking. As Tom said to Molly, "It's good to be home."
