     The poo rolled under the clawfoot bath. Three-year-old Nancy McCarthy gasped. Ooooh, mummy will be mad, she thought. She hadn’t been able to open the lavatory door. It was stuck shut. What could she do?  The poo had just come. She couldn’t stop it and now, in the bathroom trying to get her knickers off, the poo had rolled away.Nancy knew not to wake her mother when she was resting. But waken, she did, and it wasn’t long before she was calling her name. “Nancy, Nancy, where are you?” Nancy was frozen with apprehension. She’d thought that taking her knickers off would be a good idea. She couldn...a4xone door

    Heads or Tails?

    “Alright it's decided. Heads, we stay in for the night or tails, we go out! That sound fair to you?” “Yeah, I guess.” Stella nodded reluctantly as she watched her friend, Lacey, twirl a quarter between her fingers. She really hoped it landed on heads. Staying home and watching Harry Potter movies while eating bowls of popcorn sounded like the perfect way to spend a Friday night, but Lacey didn’t agree. Lacey, one of her oldest friends, was much more extroverted.
