It paid no respect, would
not do as we said, just
kept jumping around, as if
beans worked its head. It
was only a toy, but
it thought it was real, and
was acting as though it
could think, grow and feel. We
didn’t quite know what
its next move would be if
we told it to go, so
we asked it for tea. Now it
sits down for meals, though
we know it can’t eat, but
I guess we’re quite fond of
the thing with big feet.
i absolutely love this, clever and quick, an overall fun read.
Ha ha, sometimes the world smiles 🙂

This was fun! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This one made me laugh and smile – nice work.
Had to come back and re-read this one. It really makes me smile, and the sun comes out on my world. Thanks.
Reblogged this on nobodysreadingme and commented:
I don’t often reblog, because I fret that people I don’t reblog will think I’m ignoring them. That’s not the case, honestly.
I found this back in November, and have returned to it time after time when I need cheering up. I find it totally charming and very very funny.
Thanks Julia. And thanks Big Foot
Reminds me of Maurice Sendak and ‘Where the Wild Things Are” –
Charming.
I may be becoming obsessed by this little gem.
Big Foot is coming round for tea tonight. What shall I cook?
Gotta be beans. Big Foot is full of them so more for me.
Beans it is then x
Arf!
😀
Always fun jousting with you. And my mate in the library really loved Snailbeach Tails. I know she told you this, but third party compliments always carry some weight.
I just paid a return visit, Julia. Always makes me smile
and we need some smiling right now x
Indeed we do
I come back time after time to this. As you know I’m up against it just now, but this still makes me smile, still makes me calm. Cheers me old mate
And you are always welcome, Dunc x
