Sharing a secret

Emmett www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/

from Australia visits Funky in the Netherlands for the 1st time.

Funky shows Mummy Marian's garden.

 

EMMETT:

The garden looks beautiful Funky.

I like those purple flowers so much...but actually I'm a bit tired. Can we sit down somewhere for a while.

 

FUNKY:

Of course we can rest for a while. I know a nice place...look...over there by the Hydrangeas.

 

Emmett and Funky sit down in the sun by the Hydrangeas.

 

EMMETT:

Um...Funky...um...can I ask you something?

 

FUNKY:

Of course

 

EMMETT:

Eh....why do you always take your bag with you?

 

FUNKY:

Well ...I want to tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone. It's a secret...our secret.

 

EMMETT:

I promise Funky!!!!

 

Funky opens the bag and out comes a tiny worn doll

 

FUNKY:

This is Jopie and my mother made it for me. I always have him with me, so I'm never alone. My father didn't want me to play with dolls, so I always hid Jopie in my bag.

 

EMMETT:

Oh...Jopie is so beautiful. Can I touch him?

 

FUNKY:

You may

 

EMMETT:

Hello Jopie...nice to meet you

I won't tell anyone of your existence

Better get back in the bag

 

FUNKY:

He is so dear to me Emmett

Now shall we go inside and have some food and drink?

 

EMMETT:

Oh yes...please. I have a grumbly tummy
