SALLY & RONNIE’S BIG ADVENTURE

PART 1

Once upon a time there were two children who lived in a big house with their Mummy, Daddy and a cat called Rufus. Sally was 9 and had long brown hair which reached to her waist while Ronnie was 7 and wore a super-hero costume all the time, even when he went to bed. Their house didn’t have a very big garden and what little room there was had been taken up with a garden shed, (where their Daddy kept his lawn mower) and neat garden beds where Mummy grew all sorts of plants which she was always either weeding or watering. Sally liked to ride her bike but there wasn’t nearly enough room for that in the garden. Ronnie liked to kick his football but he couldn’t do this in the garden either because when he did, the ball went into the flowerbeds all the time, despite Ronnie being pretty good at football. The only one who could play happily in the garden was Rufus the cat! Sometimes they would see him stalking butterflies but mostly he would curl up and go to sleep in one of the many plant-pots.

On weekends, when they were not at school Sally and Ronnie used to play with their toys. Their favorite toy was their D.S. game but Mummy would only let them play with them for a limited time. ‘You’ll ruin your eyes!’ she would tell them, but when she was out shopping their Daddy used to let them play with with their D.S’s all the time. Their Mummy much preferred them to make things and the shelves around the house were covered in all the lovely things that they had made. Ronnie would sit at their craft table and make cars and rockets out of cardboard which he would paint with bright colours, while Sally enjoyed making things from clay which she would also paint once they had dried and gone hard.

Sally and Ronnie were two ordinary children living ordinary lives in an ordinary street. So it was quite remarkable to everyone that they would have such an extraordinary adventure and no one was more surprised than Sally and Ronnie themselves.

I guess you are wondering how it all started? Well, it was a very ordinary day (much like today really). Mummy was kneeling in the garden weeding as usual. She was being helped by Rufus who kept digging little holes in the newly weeded dirt before racing around in circles chasing his tail. Daddy was sitting on the couch watching a football game on the television. As he stared at the big screen he would occasionally put some
