Page 8 - Molly and Baby

“We were left behind!” wailed Baby.

“But we are going to make our way home,” added Molly

optimistically.

“Well it’s a long way from here!” said the cat. “I am rather

busy catching all of the lovely mice that live in this forest.

But I can take you half way, if that is any good?”

“Wow! Yes please!” said Molly. Baby still looked unsure.

They set off together into the trees. There were lots of

noises. Birds singing, insects chirruping and the gentle

breeze shaking the leaves. Baby began to feel a bit better.

She liked the forest and the sun shining through the leaves.

She felt a bit like she was getting closer to Niamh again.

They rounded a bend and suddenly, up above, they heard

children’s voices shouting excitedly.

Looking up, Molly could see some funny looking planks

hanging from the trees. There were ropes hanging down

making bridges. The children were all wearing silly hats and

were all tied up with string. Molly thought this was all very

strange.
