There’s no Place like Home
Spike visited Wise Owl. Wise
Owl gave him permission to stay. However
Spike could not sleep as Wise Owl sang to the moon all night.
Spike was exhausted the next morning and left.
Spike paid a visit to Mother Hen. She
lived in a warm, cosy, comfortable hen house.
However she left Spike to take care of her eggs.
He did not like this job and departed.
Spike saw Freddie Fieldmouse and asked him if he had any lodgings.
Freddie said he knew just the place.
He brought Spike to see a ragged scarecrow.
Spike disliked living on the scarecrow because Freddie had too many other
family members staying there.
Spike was still searching for a new pace to live.
He saw a family of rabbits grazing happily in the thick meadow.
Spike flew towards them. The
rabbits allowed Spike to stay in their burrow.
However Spike was unhappy with the burrow because it was dark, gloomy,
damp and cold. He was disappointed
with it and left immediately in a huff.
It was getting late and Spike had nowhere to stay.
He felt miserable, lonely and worried.
In the distance he saw three green frogs.
They offered him a lilly pad to sleep on.
He made a decision to leave because he was freezing and it was too cold
to sleep.
Spike decided to go back to his own warm, cosy, comfortable nest.
Through visiting the different places, Spike discovered that there is no
place like home. He was content and
happy.
