Once upon a time, there was a girl called Georgia. She had blonde hair, white skin and blue eyes. She lived under an old bridge. One day she was starving, so she decided to find some food.
She was attracted by a bright yellow glow and headed towards it. She came across a gargantuan M next to colourful playground and a two storey building. Georgia went to look inside. There was a soft, white, fluffy foam that people were licking. She wanted some, she could almost taste it in her mouth. She saw a family with a chubby dad, a chubby mum and a chubby boy. All of them had lots of brown hair.
Georgia was trying to find a way to sneak in. She spotted the family leaving their table, which was full of pancakes, to get more food. So she ran inside. One of the pancakes was too hot, another was too cold, but one was just right. She just finished and out of the corner of her eye she saw the family walking back to the table.
First came the dad, he yelled “Someone has taken a bite out of my pancake.”
Second came the mum and she said, “Mine too.”
Lastly came the boy and he said, “My pancakes gone!”
The room went silent, everybody was staring at the table. The mum ducked her head under the table and saw Georgia…
“Oh hello Darling. Would you like to join us?”
