I was there by
invitation and sat on one of the beds. I began reading the story of Piglet
& Kanga from Winnie the Pooh.
I haven’t
had a more attentive audience since I read stories to my own
children.
As I turned the
last page it came to my attention that I had ‘lost’ my audience
– they were both fast asleep.
I closed the
book, crept out softly, closed the door and revelled in the sheer magic of a
moment I was privileged to share and have never forgotten. |
