lets Pretend

In this is the game of pretend, we will imagin that the fingers on your hands are little people. your thumb is called thumblot. The finger we lick the icing out of the bowl with is called Lickepot, the longest finger on your hand is called, Long Jake. The finger next to that is called Ringeling, because people and maybe even you like to wear a ring on that finger. Then comes your smallest finger and we will call this Littlething
Now all fingers are tiny people ,remember? Ok.
All these tiny people lived in the forest. Not to far away from their home, traveled a sparkling clean river. The river looked like a ribbon of silk. Babling and bubling the river traveled towards the ocean. Sometimes these five little people and their parents, had a picnic on the shores of this beautiful river and they would stay until the dark shadows revealed the wings of night. The silvery moon sailed up above, the pines would start to sing their lulaby they knew then it was time to go home to their soft beds.
One day the weather got very warm, they asked their parents, who where also little people, if they could go play near the river under the pines where it was nice and cool. "Well maybe just this once. You all have to promise not to go close to the river". "Hurra ,hurra", shouted the little people. They all where so excited, in no time at all they where on the way to their favorite place under the pines and the soft green moss that felt like soft velvet against their skin.
They all played under the tall pines, but as they where playing they came closer and closer to the river ............suddenly they heard a plop.... there was this big splash....Thumblot fell into the water. Lickepot who was close by jumped in and got him out of the water. Just then long
Jake ,who could run real fast, came running to the resque. "What are we going to do? Not one of us was allowed into the river, I guess I'll carry you home".

They all nodded in agreement. They where nearly home when long Jake got a bit tired of carrying Thumblot. "Long Jake give him to me, I will carry him the rest of the way," said Ringeling. " They got in the house through the back door. "I'll bring him up to his bedroom and put Thumblot to bed right away".
Once Thumblot was tucked in bed the little people felt a bit better . They looked at each other wondering how they where going to tell their mam and dad what had happen.
But as they opened the door they saw mom and dad come running with a worried look on their faces. Littlething came trailing behind them, he had already told them about what had happen.
"Is thumblot all right?" asked mom.
Thumblot peeked from under the blankets,as he piped up. "Yes I am fine mom ,I only got very wet".
They all started to laugh, they where so happy that nothing serious had happen. "Well you had better stay in bed get nice and warm and rest. Each of them went on with doing their own thing. Mother went to phone her friend and tell her what had happen so she would not let her children go to the cool Pines to play.
Dad went out side to do some jumping jacks as he knew it would help him release his stress.
Long jake went and did some jumping to only he went on his trampeline. lickepot went and rode his scooter. Ringeling, blew his horn. Little thing played with his cars , Thumblot went out of his Bed but stayed in his room and did some finger painting. They had enough adventure for one day.
