Well there it was yesterday. The two legs went out for the day and left me, Max and Sebastian on our own - shut indoors. I said to Sebastian we should have a party but he said we couldn't open the door to guests. I told him about the secret door my Mum had shown me at the other house. She used to walk up to it and it opened and she could let anyone in and out. Sebastian knows everything and he said they had one where they lived before but not here. I walked up to the door to show him but he was right. There was no magic door here.
Undefeated I said the three of us should have a party. Sebastian said he needed a nap after his breakfast and Max hadn't got up yet so I was left alone.
I decided to go mountaineering and climbed up the curtains. Intrepidly I clung on and pulled my weight up with every sinew straining until I reached the top. There was this great rail thing there and I decided to cross it like some explorer in the Amazon jungle. I wavered a bit as I lost my balance a couple of times. It's very high up there and I kept looking down. I got all the way across and then decided to do the impossible - turn round and walk back. It was impossible I lost my balance completely in mid turn and began to fall. I saw my life flash before me. It was quick but I am still young. I grabbed the curtain and heard this lovely ripping sound and it was like a parachute carrying me gently to the ground. Then there was this huge crash and my balance beam pole had crashed beside me.
Inches from death I got up shook myself to see everything was still in its right place and went in search of my biscuits. Seb called out what was happening. I said it was a little nothing. I don't like to worry him when he is sleeping.
When the two legs came home there was a lot of shouting and huffing and puffing as he put up another balance beam for me. There were some new parachute climbers for me and everything was back to normal. I don't think they are going to leave us alone again.
Seb said we would have had less chaos if we had had our party
