Eleanor, Edward and the Magic Toy

Eleanor was born on 1 April, Edward was born on 3 April, and they were destined to be life long buddies. They shared the same love of food and their names both started with the letter 'E'. Already you could see it was destined to be a beautiful friendship.

One day Edward was given a Magic Toy. It was brightly coloured and had elastic which could be pulled and squeezed in all directions. He was the envy of all the babies.

One sunny day, Eleanor and Edward were enjoying a nice lie on the mat, with their mothers gazing at their respective cuteness. They then rolled onto their tummies, and Eleanor distracted Edward with an upward gaze. While Edward's back was turned, she swiped the Magic Toy. (Gasp!!)

"Ah ha," cried Eleanor. "The Magic Toy is mine!"

Edward was soon awake to the ruse, and turned to confront Eleanor.

Enter Edward's Mum, to broker a deal. "Eleanor, you have your rings. Edward has the Magic Toy". Slowly, the Magic Toy was rightfully returned to Edward.

And forlornly, Eleanor threw herself into her mat "Ah, foiled by an adult, AGAIN!!"
Eleanor and Edward parted that day, best of buddies again. The swiped Magic Toy a distant memory, thanks to the memory span of a 4 month old baby.

The End
