Bramble's Muddy Boots

1. NarratorBramble the hedgehog had big green boots. Splash! He jumped into a puddle.
2. NarratorNow the boots were muddy. Very, very muddy.
3. NarratorBramble walked into the classroom. Squelch, squelch, squelch. There were brown footprints on the floor.
4. AvaOh no! Look at the floor!
5. SamWho made those footprints?
6. NarratorBramble hid behind the door. He felt a little bit sorry.
7. AvaThe footprints go round the table.
8. SamAnd they go to the paper corner.
9. NarratorThe footprints stopped at a big sheet of paper.
10. SamWait. Look at this.
11. NarratorBramble had walked on the paper. The footprints made a shape. A round middle, and small petals all around.
12. AvaIt looks like a flower!
13. SamIt is a brown flower. It is beautiful!
14. NarratorBramble came out slowly. He pointed at the flower and nodded.
15. AvaBramble, we will clean the floor. Then you can paint more flowers.
16. SamUse the paint, not the mud!
17. NarratorBramble smiled. That afternoon he made a red flower, a blue flower and a yellow flower. His boots were clean at last.
