Stomper
Stomper the starling thought Stuart the stickleback rather strange and most
stupid ever since he had seen him staggering along the embankment singing "If you wish upon a star "…………..that same day he had seen Stanley Starfish on the beach in a stunning , very stylish outfit strumming on the strings of his guitar looking very starry-eyed at a steamboat that was steaming out to sea at a startling speed.
Stomper, who had been quite startled by all these stupendous visions, strapped his stylish knapsack on his back and instead of flying, decided to stomp home to his nest in the New Forest. On the way he thought all this story might interest his best and very nicest friend, Stella the stork. Stella was doing her history homework when he stomped in but was most pleased to see him….. »St……..st………st……….st…….. Step inside », she stuttered as she opened the door with a wistful look. Stomper the starling, started to relate his story to Stella…………..unfortunately she did not seem very interested in all this stuff, and gave up her history book to stick stamps on some letters that were ready to post. Whilst stirring his tea, Stomper looked at the stale toast Stella had prepared for him . Stella’s place was warm and stifling so he stepped outside and climbed the steep hill to the local station where he struggled to catch the first train home…………..as the train started up and reached the stream, Stomper was astonished to see Stuart the stickleback still staggering along the embankment whilst doing a quickstep with Stanley the starry-eyed star fish.
1. What were the two words Stomper used to describe Stuart?
2. What kind of outfit was Stanley wearing?
3. Where was Stomper's nest?
4. What homework had Stella been doing?
5. What was the name of the dance Stuart and Stanley were performing along the embankment?
6. Think of a name for the Railway Station where Stomper caught his train home.
