Patrick's Message For Angel

Hi, I’m Patrick the starfish and I have taken over Casper’s blog today to tell you a story about someone special who saved my life.

You see I was out at sea when I got separated from my family and washed up on this beach. Well this girl came along and saved me and put me in a bucket of water and looked after me. I didn’t know at the time but she was a princess but she still looked after me and all through the day she carried me around with her and got me food and even took me to the loo! Then came the time for me to go back in the ocean to find my family; she emptied me into the water and I washed away with the tide.

I had only got a little way out when I realised I hadn’t properly said thank you so I turned around and went back to the beach and she found me again and we were able to say a proper goodbye. I went back in the sea and in a short time was reunited with my family on a rock just down the coast. I told them the story and said  I was sorry that I couldn’t repay the princess for her kindness.

They asked me what she really wanted and I said I didn’t know but I sent two of the fairy sea nymphs to read her dreams and let me know. They said she wanted to be a dancer so I sent them back to sprinkle their special magic fairy dust over her feet while she was asleep.

Later we were up on the North Sea coast at the city of Blackpool and we heard there was a dancing contest there. I sent the fairy nymphs over to see if my Princess was there and she was. They told me all about her; how well she danced and how the judges marked her. One said she was Fab-U-Lous; one said she was so good that if she didn’t win the trophy he would go home and pickle his walnuts – I don’t know whether he really had any walnuts to pickle. The other – a funny foreign fellow – said her dancing was like a fluffy marshmallow floating across a golden sandy beach while the waves from a lapis-lazuli ocean gently kissed the shoreline – I said he was funny!

Anyway I asked the fairies to sprinkle their magic dust on the scene and everyone went home clapping and cheering and laughing and I think I finally got to say a proper thank you to my Princess.
