They would come over for parties and insist on reading our oldest son his bedtime story when the time came.<br /><br />Until then, I had no idea that Cinderella lived in Naples and was very interested when the fleet came in for a port call.<br /><br />;-)K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-51322096296190474492018-11-17T19:36:44.003-08:002018-11-17T19:36:44.003-08:00Maybe it's a guy thing but when my kids were s...Maybe it's a guy thing but when my kids were small I used to make up stories to tell them, many were of 'Three Little......' for instance The Three Little Ants whose names were Jim, Flo and Arbuthnot, The Three Little Giants whose names were Sun, Bun and Dustbinlid. And my favourite short one.....<br />Once upon a time there were three little flowers whose names were Rose, Lily and Hollyhock. One very hot day, Mary, Mary Quite Contrary forgot to come an water the garden. They wilted more and more under the hot sun until Hollyhock, being the tallest raised her drooping head and said, 'Please Lord, send some rain'. Nothing happened for a while, then a couple of clouds appeared, then more, the sky blackened, a huge thunderstorm erupted, the rain came down like a waterfall and flattened all the flowers.<br /><br />OK, Hans Christian Andersen it ain't, but they were fun.ligneushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906867668009351290noreply@blogger.com
