Justin and the Magic Watering Can
Once upon a time there lived a boy called Justin who had a watering can. Every day and every night Justin watered things. He watered the flowers, he watered the sink, he watered the bath, he even watered his daddy’s tea! Poor daddy had to wash all the mugs but I have not told you yet what Justin did worst of all. Worse than watering the flowers the sink the bath even worse than watering his daddy’s tea Justin watered the bed! Every night Justin had a nicely watered bed. Then one night Justin’s mother had an idea she would take of Justin’s watering can so that night she pulled Justin’s watering can ouch shouted Justin that hurt. The next day Justin’s mum had another idea she would send Justin to hospital to have his watering can taken. So a week later Justin went to hospital the hospital gave him some special medicine called Tryptizol Justin wanted the hole bottle but his mother said it might kill him. So as soon as Justin got home he tried to water the flowers the sink the bath and he tried to water his daddy’s tea but he couldn’t and when went to bed he expected it to be nicely watered in the morning but DAM shouted Justin in the morning he had a dry bed so Justin never watered anything again.
