I ' l l Be Your Friend, Smudge
Written and read by Miriam Moss
Smudge yawned herself awake in her new
room in her new house. Stripe poked his
head round the door. "How many days till
my birthday?" asked Smudge. "One less
than yesterday," replied Stripe, as he did
every morning.
Suddenly Smudge sat up. "Then it's
today!" she cried, jumping out of bed.
"
Happy Birthday!" smiled Stripe, handing
Smudge her present. It was a beautiful box
of paints.
Downstairs, Smudge painted while Stripe
cooked a delicious birthday breakfast.
