Knock, Knock, Who’s at Sana’s Door?
Sana hears a strange knock in the night. Who could it be?
It was night, and the stars were out. Sana the squirrel was snuggled in bed, nearly asleep. Then, knock, knock, knock. Sana sat up. ‘What was that?’
Sana pulled the blanket up to her nose. Knock, knock, knock went the noise again. Sana tiptoed to the door and peeked outside. Nobody there. Just the dark.
Sana went to wake Hana the hedgehog. ‘I heard something,’ whispered Sana. ‘Let’s find out what it is,’ said Hana. ‘Together, we aren’t afraid.’
They crept along the path. Knock, knock, knock went the noise. It was coming from behind a big tree. Sana held Hana’s hand tightly. ‘One, two, three... Look!’
And there was Dexter the duck! ‘Oh, hello,’ said Dexter. ‘I’m sorry to wake you. I had lost the way in the dark.’ Sana felt silly for being afraid. She smiled.
They took Dexter home for warm milk and a cosy blanket. Soon all three friends were fast asleep. And the only noise in the night was gentle snoring.
