Juno and the Lighthouse Light
A small rescue boat sets out in the fog to guide lost fishermen home.
Juno the jellyfish was a small orange rescue boat who lived in a tiny harbour. She wasn’t fast or big. But she had a very loud horn and a very bright lamp.
One afternoon, thick fog rolled in. White mist covered the sea like a blanket. Out on the water, Caleb the cow was coming home with barrels of herring, but could not see the shore.
‘I must help!’ said Juno. Willow the elephant called from the lighthouse, ‘It’s dangerous out there.’ But Juno switched on the lamp and puttered into the fog.
Toot, toot! Toot, toot! Juno sounded the horn. In the grey mist, Caleb heard it. ‘There!’ he cried, and steered towards the sound. The two boats met in the middle of the sea.
Juno led the way back, horn tooting, lamp shining. The lighthouse beam swept through the mist to guide them in. At last, the harbour appeared, and everyone cheered.
That night, Caleb tied up beside Juno. ‘You may be small,’ he said, ‘but you saved us.’ Juno blew a happy toot. The fog was gone, and the stars were out.
