“But when I put the batteries in it, nothing happened.” Looking forlornly at the limp and lifeless toy (which she had received for her birthday) Jessie began to cry.
Puzzled, bewildered, confused by her friend’s sudden despair, Sally desperately tried to think of a quick fix. What could she do to brighten Jessie’s mood?
Distraction… that was it, find something to divert her attention.
“Why don’t you show me what else you got for your birthday? Didn’t you say that your Mum bought you a rabbit?”
Like sunlight bursting through a bank of dark grey cloud, Jessie’s face lit up. Grabbing her friend’s hand, she led her outside.
