Good Morning! Yes, I do hope that you have an excellent, fantastic, superb, wonderful , Wowwy, spectacular... and okay kind of morning ! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the trees are swaying, the flowers are blossoming, and teddies all over the world are doing a jig dance! Hmm... perhaps not EVERY teddy all over the world are jigging because people over the other side of the world are probably asleep! And they can't jig dance in their sleep can they?! Well, I suppose they can if they are sleep-Ted walking! But that is a bit dangerous I think! They may bump into something and end up with either a bruise on their nose or on their big paw toe! And... if every teddy all over the world danced at the same time, the Earth may be thrown off its orbit because of the noise of the paws hitting the ground and go spinning off into the solar system outer space! Hello Jupiter... Hello Mars ... We will wave to the planets as Earth sails past them! No, that would not be good!
Talking about dancing, my little friend Tina Twinkle Toes Teddy is a ballerina! She can stand on her teddy tippy-paws and swirl around and around and around. Oh! Oh! I feel quite giddy just thinking about it! I like dancing you know! And... I am very careful that I don't knock anything off the Kiosk Shelves! A jar of jam plus a paw foot plus an ouchy ouch plus an "I'm in pain" being miserably uttered by a Kiosk Teddy is not such a nice thing for a Kiosk Helper to find when entering the Kiosk in the morning! That would be a quite dreadful experience to enter the Kiosk whistling a happy tune and humming a happy song, then suddenly find me with an extremely sad look on my face ! I will be extra careful, I promise, when dancing a jig in the kiosk!
 A friend of a friend of a friend's grandmother's daughter's best friend's aunt's daughter's next door neighbour has a friend called Percella the possum! Percy takes much delight in tap dancing on roofs! She once auditioned for :"Dancing with the Possum Stars" , but unfortunately they didn't have the right size tutu for her ! Actually, they did find a green tutu in the right size, but Percella's favourite colour for wearing a tutu is pink. She had to decline having the audition because she just did not feel right wearing a green tutu. Percella is quite a different type of person to know, because she absolutely, completely, utterly and truly enjoys the night time much more than the daytime! In fact, she mostly sleeps through the day and does her tap dancing on roofs at night!
  I will tell you a little secret, if you draw near to me and open up your ears. Right, I think you will hear me if I just whisper. The secret is ... I would be sooooo afraid of getting up on the roof of Strathalan when it was really, really dark!! It sounds so scary! What would happen if I toppled off the roof ?! The newspapers the next day would have the headline:" Teddy Topples, Tumbles, Trips and Thumpity-thump lands on the grounds of Strathalan" And when the news reporter knocks on doors to see if he can get a quote from any witnesses, the response would be:"We did hear a thump last night, but just thought that an apple had fallen off a tree." ( The funny thing is though, that I don't think that there are any apple trees growing in Strathalan!) I think that I will leave tap dancing to Percella! I hope that she doesn't have any owl enemies ! They like the night time too!
Well, I best be off. Continue to have a happy day! Until next time, Keep dancing inside yourselves if you can't physically dance !
