Ollie crept out of bed laughing, and he and Happy and Excited ran to the door to go and get breakfast. As they reached the door, the Captain banged it shut!

“Aren’t we forgetting something, young Ollie?” said the Captain, looking at Ollie’s unmade bed.

“Oh yes, sorry,” said Ollie, and he and Happy quickly made the bed and tidied his room.

School was fun that day. Everyone was in a really good mood, even the teachers! Everyone was chatting about what they would be doing on their holidays. Ollie’s friend Skye was going to go skiing with her mum and dad in Italy. His friend Harrison was going to go to Spain and stay in a big hotel. Ollie did not know if he was going to go away anywhere. He and his mum did not get to go on holiday like some of his friends, because it was very expensive. Ollie didn’t mind, because he loved spending time with Mr Wilcox and the other grandmas and grandpas at the old people’s home.

That night when Ollie got home he rushed through the door with Excited and Happy.

“Hi Mum! I’m on holiday! Are we going to see Mr Wilcox tonight?”

Ollie had barely finished saying Mr Wilcox, when he was stopped still by Surprised, who had grown very big and was very, very surprised at what he saw as he and Ollie ran into the kitchen. There was his mum preparing tea and, sat at the table, was a little

girl. She was drinking out of Ollie’s special

mug! Ollie just stared at the little girl, and

the little girl just stared at Ollie. “Ah Ollie,

did you have a good day at school? I

would like you to meet my friend’s little

girl. She is going to be staying with

us over the holidays, because her

mummy is not very well and has

had to go into hospital, so we are

going to take care of her. Ollie,

meet Mollie.”
