| The New Baby Fly |
| Once upon a time there was a family of flies. There was Mummy Fly, Daddy Fly and their little Boy Fly called Bob. One day Mummy Fly said, "I am going to have a baby." Bob was very sad. He had never had a brother or sister before and he didn't like the sound of it. He thought that when his Mummy had a new baby he would be left out and forgotten about. Then one night his Mummy had to go to the fly hospital. He wanted to come too. "No you are not allowed come because you are too small," said Daddy Fly. He had to go and sleep over in his aunt and uncles for the night. The next morning Daddy fly rang them and told him that he had a brand new baby sister who they decided to call Fiona. He was rather anxious about meeting his new sister. "What if she cries all night?" he thought. Then the next day they went to the hospital to see his Mum and his new baby sister. When he got there and saw her, he said, "yipee" and he gave his Mummy a big hug. "Do you like her?" she said. "Yes I do Mummy but does that mean that there is no room for me anymore?" he said sadly. "Of course not, you will always be my first ever baby fly," his Mummy replied. Bob couldn't believe he wasted all that time being worried about nothing. THE END |
