Little man in a big balloon Set off from earth to see the moon.

Up he rose high into the sky armed with a flask and some apple pie.

With an umbrella to keep out the rain and a map to help him down again.

The journey was long and soon it was night, he shone his torch it was very bright.

He took a book and a magazine as well, how long to the moon you never can tell.

When morning came roud little man was bored. He gave a big sigh and pulled on the cord.

And as the air escaped from his big balloon he looked down to earth and would be home very soon.

Story 2: 'Ahoy There'

Little man went out in his boat. Wore three life jackets to keep him afloat.

The sun was shining it was a bright, clear day and just enough wind to float him away.

With a jar of humbugs and copy of the times. A spare pair of wellies and noisy windchimes.

He knotted a hanky and place it on his head the sun was hot and he didn'nt want to go red.

Then closed his eyes and began to dream as his little boat drifted gently down stream.

He sailed to an Island far out of the way, with unexplored caves and a rather large bay.

But he woke up suddenly when his boat crashed into rocks. Water poured in and soaked him to his socks.

All of a sudden it was time to bail out. Using his bucket the water he cast out.

Until only a puddle was left on the boat floor. Little man did not want to drift anymore.

So he rowed to the shore and secured his boat. Now full of water and barely afloat.

Then took off his wellies and wrung out his socks and left them to dry on some nearby rocks.

And as the sun set across the deep sea Little man went home in time for his tea.
