Stitches

Picture and character by Holly Bell

It was early morning in the fire station as the alarms were sounded. Stitches, who was number one fireman, ran to put on his jacket. He then jumped into the fire engine. It came over the radio there was a fire at 21 Memory Lane. Stitches was driving and he put on the siren.

He roared through the street to Memory Lane until they reached the fire.

Stitches started to squirt water all over the house. He worked very hard putting out the fire. Stitches saved an old lady, a cat and a black dog.

When the fire was out, Stitches went all the way back to the fire station. There were lots of people there waiting to thank Stitches for putting out the fire. They even gave Stitches a medal for being brave. Suddenly there was a bump, and Stitches woke up. Oh no, he’d only been dreaming all the time. Stitches does dream a lot.

Tommy came running into Stitches` room and asked what all the noise was about. Stitches told Tommy about being a fireman in his dream, and how he might really be a fireman when he grows up.

That would be good Stitches, said Tommy."

But I am only small at the moment and need to grow up lots, said Stitches.

They both laughed and agreed; he did need to grow taller so he could climb up the ladder and save people.

Fire (Poem)

Never play with matches

Or anything with a flame

You might just start a fire

And that’s a silly game

So, show your dad and mummy

You are clever girls and boys

Never play with flames

Just play with your own toys

Carrot

Carrot was having a lovely lie down on his bed on a Sunday afternoon. There was a knock on the door. There were some young children at the door who wanted his help.

Carrot, cried one of the children. My cat is stuck up the tree.

OK I will get a ladder, replied Carrot.

Soon they were all running down
