A VILLAGE CHRISTMAS TALE PART FIVE

 

Granny's looking at her phone and tutting !

"Who is sending me silly pictures ? " she asks Bruno thrusting the phone into his face " What is that ? "

" Looks like the front door " Bruno replies moving away from Granny to check out the front 

" Yes someone's left a bear on the doorstep !"

"Honestly these delivery men! Just drop things out side , take a photo and rush off with not even a knock at the door ! " grumbles Granny " Better bring it in before it goes walkabout!"

"It's another giant bear ! " Bruno calls back to Granny 

"Argh! " Granny growls " Better bring it in !"

Bruno grabs the bear and pulls her in through the shop door. Thank goodness she's not as big as that camel that turned up yesterday !

"Oh " calls Granny as Bruno pulls the bear puffing and groaning " There should be a little pull along horse too "

When he goes back out in search of a small pull along horse , he gasps 

"Wow " whispers Bruno hugging the horse 

Excitedly he climbs onto the horse's back 

Granny's voice comes from inside the shop " You can put it in the window and hopefully he'll sell quickly "

Bruno looks at just how far from the ground he is and where the window comes on him !

Getting down, he turns the horse ready to lead him round to the back garden " It's alright Granny I think I'll have him for my Christmas present " he rubs his face against the horse's nose.

"What a pull along toy ! " Granny calls back sounding surprised " Are you not a little old for that? "

Rubbing the horse's nose Bruno calls back " You said I could pick my own gift this year !"

"Well yes but I though you'd want a new bike or something "

" No thanks Granny " Bruno smiles at the horse  " Luigi is just perfect "

"Okay " comes the reply " Go put him away and come back there's work to be done, I'll wrap him up later "

Bruno giggles and leads Luigi off towards the back garden .
