Hi, my name is Tianna, but that doesn’t matter, because this blog isn’t about me. It’s about Paul, my stuffed monkey. He has always wanted to do two things: travel, and actually meet his family, because his earliest memory is coming home with me in a plastic shopping bag… He doesn’t even know his own surname!
So since me and my family are going on a tour to every continent in the world, I have slipped the brochure for the holiday into Paul's mailbox, hoping that it will at least give him some ideas. Usually he doesn’t come on holidays with us, but I think I can smuggle him into my suitcase so that he can come too. But I should really let him speak for himself, so here he is:
Hello! What you have probably realised by now is that my name is Paul and I am Tianna’s stuffed monkey. But I really don’t know why this blog is about me, because all I am is a stuffed monkey who loves chocolate and bananas, has always wanted to travel and meet my family. I'm nothing special, I guess.
At the moment, I am having a banana for my breakfast and I am about to leave the house, so I can go to watch that movie that my owner, Tianna, and her siblings are watching in the lounge-room. Oh, wait, mail’s here! I guess I have time to go and check it first. Ok, I am looking inside the mailbox. What do we have here? Teddy bear tax forms, a letter from my friend, Oscar, the toy dog, a letter from Tianna, a toy magazine and, wait, what’s this? It’s a travel brochure for a tour around the world! Oh, I recognise this, it’s the brochure for that trip Tianna and her family are going on this Saturday. Hmm, it looks like so much fun! I wish I could go.
Well, let’s look at everything else first. I am going inside now, putting the mail on the coffee table, sitting down and now I am looking through the mail. Maybe I should look at Tianna’s letter first, in case it’s important. Ok, it says:
Dear Paul,
Hi! How are you? Have you tried any new types of chocolate this week? I saw that Dad has put some chocolate bananas in the fridge, and I give you permission to have one, but ONLY one!
Anyway, I have recently noticed how desperate you are to travel. And since this weekend we are going on the tour that is advertised in that travel brochure, the one that I put in your mailbox, I think it might be nice for you to come too.
I am not sure where exactly we are going, but I do know that we are going to go to Agra, Asia first, secondly Africa, thirdly Europe, then North America, then South America, and last but not least Sydney, Australia. We are going to see a whole lot of places quite different to here, and maybe see a few famous landmarks along the way. It would be so much fun to have you come with us.
But, if you do come, you will unfortunately have to stay in my suitcase for all of the plane trips, unless Dad lets me bring you in your portable cardboard box house in the seating area, but it’s not my fault if it gets damaged or bumped around.
If you decide you want to come with us, please let me know before Wednesday, because we need to start packing.
I hope you come!
From Tianna
P.S Only ONE chocolate banana!
Wow! I can’t believe that I am even getting the opportunity to come with! I am definitely coming with! I am going to tell Tianna right away, but first, I am going to get a few chocolate bananas from the fridge, just a few…
