The day after my birthday party,?
Kipper found a soggy blue balloon in the garden.?
It was odd because the balloons at my party were red and white.
I blew it up.
At first, I thought it was just an ordinary balloon.
But now I am not so sure.?
?
It is shiny and squeaky and you can make rude noises with it.
And if you give it a rub you can stick it on the ceiling.
Just like an ordinary balloon.
?
But there is something odd about my balloon.
It doesn’t matter how much you blow it up, it just goes on getting bigger and bigger.
?
You see it never ever bursts. Never ever, I have squeezed it…squashed it…
and whacked it with a stick.
I have kicked it…
run it over…
…and stretched it!
And kipper has attacked it. But it is indestructible.
I think that my balloon has strange and wonderful powers!
The other day it disappeared completely.
…and when it came back it was square!
And this morning, while I was taking it for a walk…
…it decided to take me for a fly!
?
It took me up… and up…
and up… Oops!
?
And finally… down.
It was quite a trip, but we were back in time for tea.
So if you find a soggy old balloon…
…whatever you do, don’t throw it away
?
Especially if it is a blue one
You never know what it will do next?
