Nobody Believes Winston (16min)

When Winston went to bed, he thought about his day. It was hard being the boy that nobody believed. A lot of things had happened, but nobody believed him.

Just after breakfast, he had gone out to play in the yard. He was only out there for two minutes when four golden eagles swooped down and grabbed him. They whooshed him up into the air and flew around the town.

Winston was scared at first, but he soon found that he enjoyed flying, and he stuck his arms straight in front of him.

Woohoo! yelled Winston.

From high up in the sky, he could see the tops of all the houses. He could even see his own home. All of the people looked like ants from up amongst the clouds.

As he soared, he felt free. The sky was bluer than he ever remembered it, and the rivers and streams looked like long blue snakes.

When the eagles landed back in Winston’s yard, he thanked them all. They bowed their feathered heads and flew away.

Winston went straight inside and told his mother what had happened.

That’s nice, said his mother.

It was obvious that she did not believe him.

Winston sighed. Adults often did not believe kids when it came to things like this. Perhaps, if they believed more, they might get to fly too.

Winston was hungry, so he was happy to find that his mother had prepared him a snack. He popped some blueberries into his mouth and crushed them with his teeth. He could feel the juice squirting around in his tongue.

When he went back outside, he saw the neighbor’s dog walking along the fence like a tightrope walker.

Suddenly the neighbor’s cat started bouncing up and down on the trampoline. It flipped three times in the air and flashed a broad smile at Winston.

There were squirrels in the tree, and they were swinging back and forth, flying between branches, and catching each other as they swung. It all looked just like a circus.

Winston quickly ran inside to get his father.

Dad! Dad! shouted Winston. You have to come and see this.

It took a few minutes of convincing, but Winston’s father eventually followed Winston outside to see what was happening.

When gets got outside, the dog was looking over the fence, his front paws perched on it. The cat was sleeping lazily on the trampoline. And, there were no squirrels anywhere.

But, they were just here, said Winston.

Sure they were, said his father.

Winston wished that his father had been quicker. Surely, he would have seen the animal circus if he had come outside quicker.

It was lunchtime, and Winston’s mother had cut his sandwiches into triangles. They were his favorite, peanut butter and jelly.

Winston took big bites, and the peanut butter and jelly mixture smeared up his cheeks. He wiped it with the back of his hand, but that only smeared some onto his forehead.

After lunch, Winston took a walk into the forest at the back of his house. There as a small creek there that he loved to play in. He splashed and splooshed, taking his shoes off so that he could stomp around in the water.

Not long after arriving at the creek, a massive Viking longboat sailed down it. When they got to Winston, they invited him aboard. He did so willingly.

They sailed off to the ocean and looked for mysterious islands. Far from the land, the sea shone like precious gems, blues and greens and blacks, and spots of sparkling white.

The Vikings were ready to turn around when pirates attacked. A cannonball from a cannon narrowly missed them, and Winston helped the captain to turn the ship around and take them back to the creek.

Winston was happy to be safely back on dry land, and he waved to the Vikings as they went off on another adventure.

When Winston arrived at home, just in time for dinner, he thought about telling his parents what had happened, but they probably wouldn’t believe him. Adults were not very good at believing things that didn’t usually happen to them.

Dinner was cheesy pasta with lots of bright green broccoli. Winston pretended that the broccoli pieces were trees and that he was a giant.

After dinner, he went outside and saw that an actual giant was trying to eat the tree in his yard.

Don’t do that, said Winston.

Why not? asked the giant.

Because squirrels live there. You don’t want to eat them, do you? asked Winston with a smile.

I guess not, said the giant. Can I eat you instead?

Definitely not, said Winston.

Why not? asked the giant.

Because I do not want to be eaten, said Winston.

Yes, that makes sense, said the giant. I would not want to be eaten either.

Who are you talking to? asked Winston’s mother from the back door.

A giant, said Winston. But, when he looked up, the giant had disappeared. He must have been scared of mothers.

That’s nice, said Winston’s mother. Come on in, it’s time for bed.

Winston was tired after his eventful day, and he did not put up much of a fight. There would be
