I just really needed resolution. The following was written as a continuation, as per request of my student. |
Tom flopped onto the ground, tail limp and bill quivering in sadness. He had been looking forward to munching and crunching on his friend's delicious cookies too. Then, as he looked around, he saw everyone holding onto a cookie and looking happy. Now, that wasn't too bad. Perhaps, some of them might not even have had a chance to eat cookies before this party! He might not have a cookie now but he would always have an opportunity for another next time! Feeling better, Tom got back onto his feet.
Right then, a wee little hedgehog trotted over. "Hi Tom," the hedgehog squeaked, "I heard that you were coming and was worried that there might not be enough cookies, so I made this for you."
The hedgehog reached its tiny paw into a crinkled paper bag. Out came a cookie with bits of earthworm in it. "I added my favourite worms. I find they add quite an exotic flavour."
Tom accepted the cookie gratefully and bit into it. It tasted odd but it was the softest, moistest and most flavourful cookie he had ever eaten. Tom smiled. He might not have gotten the best cookies but he had found something better - a friend.
