A children’s picture story book by Marta, 14 Nov 2004

"Hetal, you forgot to shut the door again"


Hetal came running into the house.

"Hello Hetal!" said Hetal's dad.

Hetal took off her coat and put it on a peg under the stairs.

"Hetal, you forgot to shut the door again" complained dad

"The cold air is coming in and making me cold" said dad who was starting to shiver.

"Oh dad" laughed Hetal "It's not me. It's Dragon!"

"And why doesn't Dragon shut the door?" asked dad.

Hetal stopped and thought for a moment.

"Because" smiled Hetal "his tail is so long that by the time all his body is through the door, he's already upstairs and has forgotten all about shutting the door."

"I see" said dad "Can you help Dragon by shutting the door for him please?"

"Okay" said Hetal as she gave the door a forceful push shutting it with a loud
B A N G.

"Hetal, why did you slam the door shut? Your baby brother is sleeping next door and you might have woken him up." said dad.

"It was for Dragon." answered Hetal.

"And why did you slam the door shut for Dragon?" asked dad.

"So he would hear the noise of the door shutting from all the way upstairs and remember to do it himself next time!" explained Hetal.
