Splinter (age 8)

Rainbow was playing in the mud with old pieces of wood she'd found in the wheel barrow outside the shed. She kept playing with a piece of wood when suddenly she felt something sharp go into her hand, she screamed and then ran inside to her mum crying.


Rainbow: mummy!


Windy whistles: dashie what's wrong?!


Rainbow: *crying* I was playing with wood from daddy's wheel barrow and something stabbed my hand!


Windy whistles: let me have a look sweetie. *looks at rainbows hand* it looks like you've got a splinter baby, I'll get a needle and get it out.


Rainbow: *panicking* I don't want an injection mummy!


Windy whistles: *confused for a moment* it's not that kind of needle sweetie, it's from the sewing kit.


Rainbow: ok.


Windy went to fetch the needle and after a little bit a struggle she got the splinter out of rainbows hand.


Windy whistles: there you go baby it's all gone, you can go back to playing just be careful.


Rainbow: thanks mummy I will!


Rainbow went back to playing with in the mud but she stayed away from the pieces of wood.


A/N: not brilliant but I wanted to get it written before Saturday, next story will be Halloween themed.
