Eddie and the Rainbird
Eddie woke up with a jolt. He was at home… in his own bed… in his own jeans and T-shirt. How did he get back? Did Mum and Dad find him? He looked down and couldn’t see any cuts or bruises or broken bones from the fall. What was going on?
Then Oskie came running into the room.
“Wake up sleepyhead!” he shouted. “Mum and Dad want to show you something.”
Confused, Eddie got out of bed and followed Oskie to join Mum and Dad in the front garden.
Mum smiled. “You’ve been napping ever since lunch,” she said. “And you have a visitor.” She pointed up into the big myrtle tree outside the fence. A pair of bright eyes looked at him from a high branch.
“WOW!” said Eddie. “You’re the rainbird from my dream.”
