That night while trying to sleep Sue thinks: I did see a little man in a green jacket and he did fix the bite on my leg, or did he? Thinking about it she eventually fell asleep.
The next day Sue wakes up early with the sun beaming through the window, lighting up her room shinning through the colored curtains that her mother had made, ah! She says while stretching out and yawning, what a lovely day! throws back her covers and catapults her teddy over the other side of the room, jumps out of bed then opens the door, walking straight into Mikes room, he is still fast asleep,” Wake up! Wake up! Mike turns over and opens his eyes, "what do you want at this time of the morning it’s still early"? Sue insists that they go back to the wood and look at the deer they saw yesterday, really she wanted to know if the little green man was real or not,” Ok he says wait for me down stairs I’ll be down in a moment.” "Fine says sue; having a big smile on her face walking out the bedroom, then quickly runs down stairs to the kitchen and grab’s two pieces of bread, opens the cupboard to reach for her favorite jam, strawberry home made hmm! She says licking her lips. Sue hears Mike coming down the stairs.” “Are you ready Sue? while grabbing some biscuits out of the Jar?” “Yes.” “Let’s go.” Off they go once again into the woods. Sue remembers the midges at the start of the woods; she ducks down missing the swarm, while holding her breath at the same time making sure not to swallow one. It’s not long before they’re back at the same spot they were yesterday. It’s very warm with the sun out, there are beams of light shinning through the tops of the trees, managing to reach the forest floor. Just standing there, Sue could hear and see all the different animals, bird’s Mike had found a strange looking ball, hanging from a branch with lots of wasps flying in and out, he had never seen one before and had to investigate a little closer. He shouts! “Sue, you stay there if you need me just shout.” “Ok, Sue looks all around to find the big tree again; she spots it, ah! There you are she says to herself while walking towards it.” She walks round admiring its beauty and its huge size, she had never seen a tree like this before, after walking round two or three times she decides to sit down right in the same place she had sat yesterday. Sue sits there remembering thoughts, of the days she had enjoyed in the woods, she unties the ribbon from her hair to let the breeze blow through and let her hair hang free, she puts the red ribbon down beside her letting it hang over the trunk of the tree. Then leans back against the tree to rest and enjoy the view and soak up all the noises, which to her were all very nice. Suddenly from the corner of her eye! She sees the ribbon move, was it the wind?, slowly moves her head to look at the ribbon. Coming into view she sees him again, the little man in the green jacket with the very long white beard, I knew I’d seen him yesterday and I wasn’t dreaming. Sue looks again, Sam hadn’t noticed, Sue was watching his every move and carried on pulling the red ribbon into the tree, he likes red things, he thought that he would add this to his collection, looking up he sees Sue watching him, she was sitting very still. Oh! He cries! Runs and hides in the hole in the tree, shivering inside not knowing if he has been seen, then suddenly hears a voice saying, hey! “Little man come out, I won’t harm you, please come out”. Sam waits a moment before stepping out. Sue says" there you are don’t worry little man I will not hurt |
