Enter the Competition Here!
I'm starting a competition today which will run until next Monday - 7th of July -which is my birthday
This is an excerpt from one of my books:
“Ah, there you are Henrietta,” Mrs. Butterworth said. She had not taken her hat off even though she was seated primly on the edge of the sofa with her bag by her side on the floor. “I was beginning to wonder whether there was anyone else here.” She gave a little tinkling laugh.
“Please, call me Henny,” Henny said. “Everyone does you know. Only my Mum used to call me Henrietta when she was cross with me.” She gave a little nervous laugh and then immediately a little frown as her brain caught up with what her mouth had just said and wondered why on earth she had just said that.
“My dear, surely you don’t mean that you are known as Henny Penny?” Mrs. Butterworth gave a little laugh. “You’ll be telling me next that the sky is falling down.”
Bruno was starting to not like Mrs. Butterworth. He stood looking at her with a grim look on his face.
“Oh no, that was Chicken Licken.” Henny found that now that she was trapped in this conversation, she could not find any way out. It was not going at all how she had imagined it would go. She suddenly remembered that in fact, Henny Penny was another form of the same story about the little chicken who rushed around telling everyone that the sky was going to fall because something like a leaf or acorn or something falls on its head.
Why had no-one ever mentioned this to her before?
If you can find out which chapter of which book this is from, then send me a message. Two winners will be randomly drawn on Tuesday and will EACH win a £25 Amazon gift voucher.
Happy hunting!
