A child wakes and stretches her arms. pulling her flowery white doona over her head trying to block that blazing red sun out of her eyes.
Step by step she runs down those towering stairs it’s like they go on forever but finally she reaches the end. She jumps up to a stool and waits patiently for her pancakes and freshly squeezed apple juice.
Her breakfast arrives on the table she gulps her juice and shovels her pancakes in to her mouth. She sprints to the lounge and Her brand new summer dress and sandals are sitting on the couch. She throws on her clothes and rushes off to school on her scooter.
