A bedtime story for my girl. This is part1/2.
*my very first bedtime story.
page.1
Once upon a time, there was a puppet named Jamie. He had a long-long arm and he loved it. Because Jamie believed his long-long arm can do something good. Everybody laughed at him and called him “squiggly Jamie” though.
page.2
Today was Jamie’s 8 years old birthday. He said to himself “Happy birthday, Jamie. Let’s go for adventure! We will definitely bump into a lot of interesting stuffs and have the best birthday ever.” Jamie went out with his backpack and big smile.

“What are those? Why they are bunching up together like sweet rice dumplings?” Jamie walked toward to them with his doubt.
page.4
It was the king, queen, princes and princess from the kingdom of ducks. They couldn’t go back to their castle because the bridge back home was broken. “Please allow me to help you, your majesty.” said Jamie to the king.
page.5
Jamie used his long-long arm as a bridge in order to let the royal duck family cross the valley and go home. “Everyone, don’t forget to say thank you.” said the duck queen. “Thank you, squiggly Jamie” said the duck princes and princess. “You are welcome, wow! Your tails really bunch together.” Jamie replied.
page.6
Jamie backed into his journey after saying goodbye to the royal duck family. The day was getting dark. Jamie looked up to see the beautiful sky filled with stars. “Shooting star!” Jamie shouted. A shooting star streaked across the sky and fall on the hill in front of him. Jamie ran to it with curiosity.
page.7
A little star fell down the hill and bumped his head. Jamie held the little star gently and worried about it. “Are you okay?” asked Jamie. “I fell asleep while I was painting, then I fell down from the sky.” the little star replied. “Sleep? Painting? From the sky?” Jamie wondered. “I will explain to you...” the little star answered patiently.
page.8
“The sky is like a huge canvas and stars are painters. We paint the sky blue when the morning comes and paint it black when night fall. Do you know floating white clouds, frightening lightning and golden dusk are all made by us.” The little star explained. “Wow!” Jamie was so excited.
page.9
“Now I just want to go back to sky and paint again” the little star said sadly. “You can count on me.” Jamie lifted up the little star high while he was answering. The little star couldn’t believe it was back on sky that easily.
page.10
“My friends, let’s make a masterpiece that no one see before as a present to Jamie.” the little star talked to his star friends. Stars took different colors and painted a beautiful rainbow on the dark sky. Jamie has never seen a rainbow at night. He used his hand as a camera and hope to capture this incredible moment.

Jamie continued his journey. After a long walk, he felt tired and soured on his feet. Jamie found a pink sofa and sat on it right away. It was a comfortable pink sofa. “What are you doing?!” suddenly someone shouted to Jamie.
page.12
“You are sitting on me!” the sofa shouted again. Jamie jumped off and found out he was sitting not on a sofa. “I am so sorry boss pig.” Jamie apologized immediately. “I am not a pig! I am a ox!” the sofa got more angry and turned up his voice. “Ox?” Jamie confused.
page.13
“I am so sorry, boss ox.” Jamie apologized sincerely once again. “If you want my forgiveness, you have to give me a favor.” claiming to be ox replied. “I dropped a thing into this deep hole. Since you have a long arm, you might can pick it up for me.” “Ok! I will try my best.” Jamie answered without hesitating.
page.14
“This is really a deep hole. Wait, I touch something. What is this?” Jamie tried very hard to reach his arm. “Don’t ask question! Take it out right away!!” claiming to be ox yelled and urged Jamie.
page.15
Jamie picked that thing up and said “Is it not croissant?” Claiming to be ox grabbed the croissant immediately from Jamie’s hand and tied it on his head. “Look, I did tell you that I am a ox, not a pig.” boss ox said proudly. Jamie felt the heat and confident from boss ox’s eyes. “Yes, my boss pi...no, boss ox.” Jamie was convinced.
