It was a lazy Sunday.
You didn’t have much planned, so you decided to go for a walk.
You walked past a chicken coop, “Hello, I’m [child’s name].” you say!
The chickens kept pecking at the grain on the ground. Peck, peck.
Bye, chickens!
Up ahead, you see a field of horses.
Excitedly you hurry over, waving, “My name is [child’s name], would you take me for a ride?”
The horses neigh and trot away.
You turn away from the horses and carry on.
Ahead you see a cat!
You bow as you pass a cat by, “How do you do? I’m [child’s name].” you say!
Without pausing for a moment the cat continues to lick her paw.
Ahead, the village market appears.
People are hustling and bustling.
Some going, others coming.
You pass a baker pulling out a tray of delicious smelling pastries. You say, “Those look great. My name’s [child’s name]. May I please try one?”
The shop is too busy. He doesn’t hear you.
Turn after turn you’ve made through the market. What an experience that was!
Ready for a rest you look for a place to sit.
There’s a garden through the gates ahead.
What beautiful trees!
What splendid bushes!
This is a place fit for a king.
You keep walking and suddenly, you’re inside.
This is a magnificent courtroom.
Sunlight streams through brilliant stained glass.
There’s a court of people sitting in high wooden benches and right ahead, there’s a man with a crown on his head.
A hush falls over the room.
The man turns his eyes towards you.
“Hello, [child’s name]. It’s good to see you. Welcome home.”
