Dexter Chases the Hat
A gust of wind blows Dexter’s hat away, and it lands in some very silly places.
Dexter the deer had a new blue woolly hat. It was the best hat in the whole world. Dexter wore it to the park and spun round and round. ‘Look at me!’ he cried.
But then, WHOOSH! A strong gust of wind blew by and plucked the hat right off Dexter’s head! It flew up, up, up into the sky. ‘My hat!’ shouted Dexter. ‘Come back!’
Dexter ran after it. The hat sailed over the fence and landed in the branches of an apple tree. ‘Oh dear,’ said Jamal, who had come running. ‘How will we get it back?’ But then WHOOSH! The hat blew away again.
It bounced on a haystack. It spun round the weather vane. It dropped into a bucket and flipped out again. Dexter, Jamal and Kira the pony chased it everywhere.
At last, the wind got tired. The hat drifted down, down, down, and landed with a soft plop on Dexter’s head, right where it belonged. Everybody stared. Then everybody cheered!
‘I think the wind just wanted to dance,’ laughed Jamal. Dexter took a ribbon and tied it under his chin. Now the hat would stay on. And if the wind wanted to dance again, Dexter would dance with it.
The little lesson
