put them on the window ledge in the kitchen.
There was a fat dog with long ears, a red toadstool with two
frogs sitting on top and a brown goose with an orange beak.
Billy always had his drawing book and his pen that is shaped
like a boomerang near him, because he was always looking
for something to draw.
He saw the three garden ornaments, and wanted to draw them
so he asked his mummy if he could take them down from the
window ledge, and put them on the floor in the living-room.
His mummy said,'yes' and gave him the fat dog with long ears,
the red toadstool with two frogs sitting on top and the brown
goose with an orange beak.
Billy carefully took them through to the living-room, and put
them on the carpet. He then turned to a clean page on his
drawing book and started to draw.
Billy drew each garden ornament carefully then coloured
them in. He had just finished, when the fat dog, the red toadstool with the two frogs sitting on top and the brown goose
with the orange beak came alive and jumped from the page.
The fat dog sat down on the carpet, and it began to scratch
itself, then it got up and was sniffing at things in the living-room.
The two frogs that had been sitting on top of the red toadstool
had jumped down, now they were jumping all over the place.
The brown goose with the orange beak was waddling about
and making a terrible noise. Billy was sure his mummy would
come in to the living-room to see what was making the noise.
The fat dog started to bark, and the two frogs started to croak
at the tops of their voices.
Billy had to stop them. He pointed the pen at the fat dog, the
two frogs and the goose, also the red toadstool which had been
standing still next to the real garden toadstool. Then he
pointed to the drawing book, and with a little flash of light
coming from the pen all the paper garden ornaments went
back on to the page.
Billy picked up the real ornaments and carried them back
to the kitchen. His mummy asked him if he had,had a nice time
drawing, and he said 'yes.'
He was glad that his mummy had not heard all the noise.
Maybe he was the only one who heard the fat dog barking,
the frogs croaking and the goose making a terrible noise.
