| The Little Lost Whale. | |

I've never written for children and this is a re-write of a piece aimed at Adults. All three of my sons at a certain age would at the end of a sentence, add phrases such as "I was" or "I have" etc so I've tucked them on. Sorry if they irritate-I am. I loved that Little Lost Whale, I did. He should have stayed with his mummy, he should. When I was very little I got lost in a shop. I was very scared, so I hid. A nice granny found me and she took me to a lady, who had a big voice that went all round the shop. She said, “If you have lost a little boy he’s been found and he is safe.” I think the Little Whale was very frightened and was trying to hide. What he needed was a Nanny Whale with a big voice. She would have found him and then called for his mummy. People weren't any good, he needed a Whale, but they tried very hard. I think they were very sad when he died. I know I was, and so was Mummy. Mummy put the telly off and said, “Come on you, it’s time for bed, but first you’ll have a bath.” She let me have all my bath toys to play with, but she wasn’t much fun. When she got me out of the bath, she gave me a great big hug and then wrapped me up very tight in a large towel. I said to her, “Are you going to splash water on me, like they did to the Whale when they put him on the Boat?” She burst out laughing but then broke into tears. Daddy came in and gave Mummy a cuddle. He looked at me and said, “Right then little one, if you’re really good and get yourself to bed, I’ll tell you a story. I was good and he told me a story. I’ve now got I’ve got a little brother, I have. He’s called William, after the Little Lost Whale that died months ago. Mummy says, that as his big brother, I must look after him. I will. I'll not let him go wandering off and get lost. And don’t you go wandering off, it’s dangerous. It is.
