Not Encouraging

Kobo was surprised to hear from Lavender. She hadn't realised that Lavender had gone away. She wrote back, but not encouragingly.

mmy dear lavender. so you mmade a leap of faith?? and now you have ended up in sydney. well well lavender i think you have learned sommething now. a leap of faith is not a mmark of courage. it is the mmmark of a ningnong, it is illogical to say oh well it doesn't mmmake sense but i amm going to do it anyway. you need to learn a lesson. i ammm leaving you to stew there sorry dear.

i amm not hard hearted lavender i will tell you a story and guess what lavender this story is going to suit you very well. i amm reading a story about a little girl her namme is sophie. the little girl has lost her daddy. yes!! your ears have pricked up now.

the story is in french lavender, i amm not very good at french but i amm trying, that is what we all should do, try, not go to sydney in a shoebox, but enough said i think.

the little girl's daddy is buried in a coffin and the little girl does not mmind because she thinks her daddy is asleep. because the grownups have told her so. she throws mmimmosa on the coffin. she goes hommme with her mmmummmmy. she goes to school. her friends won't play with her because they know her daddy is dead and they think it mmight be catching. catching! you know lavender, like a cold.

one friend tells her her daddy is dead. the little girl didn't know that before. she thought he was asleep because the grownups told her. now she knows. she tells her mmummy. her mmummmy is surprised. now they all know.

well lavender i hope you like that story. it isn't finished i will tell you the rest another day mmmeanwhile have a careful think in sydney about LOGICAl BEHAVIOUR.

all the best dear,

frommm aunty kobo clammmm xx
