Ouchity  ouch! Ooh! I kind of don't feel too good! Indeed I do have some pain! I was just sitting quietly under my favourite apple tree. ( in fact it is the only apple tree in Strathalan, so it is my favourite and also my least liked apple tree as well! ) I was just watching the clouds and seeing the formations, when all of a sudden there was a BIG bang! And the sky turned black and was full of stars! I thought to myself : " That is quite odd! I hope all the lovely Strathalan Residents are not worried by the dark! I do hope that they stocked up on candles! The stars look a little swirly. " Then, all of a sudden, as they "say in the classics" my pain level registered 99 out of 10! Yes, I had been hit by an apple that had fallen off the tree! It was only myself who could see the black sky! Well, I got my mobile phone out and texted the teddy ambulance, with the message : k Ted hurt. Sky is black! Seeing triple vision, unless everyone really does have 3 heads! 

   Whilst I was waiting for Penny and Patrick the Paramedic teddies to come and look at my sore head, Tabitha Teacher teddy came along! She kept me company during the wait by telling me funny stories of the apples that the little teddy children brought to give her! 

     One little teddy brought her a "red delicious"  apple. But the teddy was very upset because on the way to teddy school, they took a bite of the apple to make sure that it tasted "delicious" ...and it didn't! They then wanted to change the apple for a more yummier jam donut! 

  Another little teddy had a very sad and sorrowful look on her face when she handed over a " Granny Smith" apple to Tabitha. Tabitha gently gave the little teddy a hug and asked why she was feeling sad. The reply was : " I am missing my grandma teddy. She was a little tattered because she had been through a lot in her teddy life. She had been hugged and hugged. She had been accidentally left in shopping centres on dining tables. She had fallen out of shopping trolleys. She often fell off kids beds. And now she has needed to go to the teddy hospital for surgery! The Granny Smith Apple reminds me of her " Tabitha reassured her that the teddy doctors and nurses would caringly look after grandma teddy. They are highly skilled and trained in teddy medical studies. They have world expertise in treating teddy medical health issues. The world famous teddy surgeon T Eddy B. Ear. often performs teddy operations there. You can be reassured that her teddy is in very good teddy paw hands!

  Another little teddy got dressed up in a long flowing gown and wore a crown to present a royal gala apple to Tabitha!  They bowed their head as they presented the apple to her.

  One of the little teddies very politely informed Tabitha that he couldn't give her a Jonathan apple because her name wasn't Jonathan! Only teddies with that name could eat the apple.

   It is said that laughter is the best medicine! Well, after laughing with Tabitha, my painful head felt a lot better, and I didn't end up needing treatment from the paramedics when they arrived! 

  I think I will go and bake an apple pie now!

   Your friend.
