Emma had a special talent. She didn’t know it was special. She thought it was normal.
One summer’s day Mummy and Daddy and Uncle Gilbert and Auttie Molly were all sitting in the garden. Daddy was cooking burgers and stuff over a fire in a big tin box. Little Emma was wandering around amusing herself. She winked at a bumble bee and it buzzed round in a circle. She poked out her tongue at a dandelion and it exploded and all the little white bits floated down and landed in her hair.
She wiggled her nose at a bud, and it turned into a beautiful flower. She stuck out her tongue at an ugly slug and it slithered away as fast as its slime could carry it! She smiled at a spider which sat down beside her, and started to tickle her feet!
It was getting cloudy and Emma felt a little chilly. Auntie Molly looked up at the sky and frowned.
Daddy gave Uncle Gilbert a plate of big fat sausages. Emma was hungry and wondered when she would get hers! Uncle Gilbert shook some pepper over his plate, but some of it missed and went up Emma’s nose! She sneezed the biggest sneeze she’d ever sneezed and suddenly the clouds disappeared!
Emma looked up at the sky and grinned. The sun looked down at Emma and smiled!

In 2018 we learned about My Friend Rosey’s Employment
In 2017 it was Easter in Amble Bay
So cute. Allergy season is starting but somehow my sneezes have no power to make clouds disappear.
Oh dear! Let’s hope it’s not a bad one Denise.
Oh, that would be nice, to be able to blow the clouds away when you’ve had enough rain for the time being.
I couldn’t agree more!
What an incredibly cute story 🙂

That’s so kind, thank you.
She’s obviously not a Muggle! The parents are going to be shocked when the Hogwarts letter arrives.
I hadn’t thought of that, perhaps I should warn them!
I wish I had that special talent 😇
Very cute story. I like the way you have narrated. I wonder if she cries, would it rain??

I’ll let you know if it ever happens! Cheers Kislaya
Keith,
Your stories have the sweetest charm to them. Do you use them in picture books? This one would be a purrfect fit in my opinion. Excellent job!
Join me today for a look at my A2Z The Little Mermaid art sketch ‘Eric’. Happy a2zing!
That’s so kind of you Cathy but no, in fact this isn’t my normal style or genre of writing. I’m just delighted they seem to be going down so well.
Such a cute story! It would fit well into a picture book for nighttime reading. I do enjoy your imagination, Keith, lol
‘Wynn, fancy meeting you here! Thanks so much for your kind words
Emma has special powers rather magic. What a cute little story, Keith. When my son was in KG, i would make up stories to tell him everyday.
I’m finding telling these tales quite refreshing! I almost wish I had a kindergarten child to tell them to! Cheers Kalpana
Emma certainly lives a charmed life, Keith. If only children’s imaginations could be bottled and carried into adulthood.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful! It would make writing these stories easier!
That IS a special talent! May I borrow her sometime? 😉
Unfortunately, since I published this she’s fully booked! Cheers Trudy
Being in the UK, I envy Emma’s ability to blow away the rain clouds. Did she ever get her sausages?
Debbie
She is very useful living in the south of England herself! Don’t worry I made sure she got her hotdog! Thanks once again Debbie
What a cute story, Keith. Like Emma, I too believe I am magical! Hahaha!
Cheers,
Meena

I do believe you are!Thanks so much Meena.
Oh thanks so much, Keith for believing!
Oh thanks so much for believing that!
Such a sweet story. I love the way you write them, sweet, innocent and succinct!
That is so kind of you, thanks so much.
Such fun! But I hope Emma learns to control her powers or things could get dangerous!
Black and White: E is for Emela-ntouka
I hadn’t thought of that, I’d best keep an eye on her! Cheers Anne
That’s such a lovely story, Keith. Wish we had such special powers like Emma. 🙂
The world would be a different place! Thanks Shilpa.
This was really cute, Keith. Now, you know how I think: could she have some Magic in her? Hmmm? 😉
Highly likely I imagine! Cheers.
So cute. Its really an incredible short story. But here I wish it happens the contrary, that it should rain with my sneeze. We are missing the rains just after a week of the official start of summer here in India
I’ll pop her on a plane to India and see if her sneeze attracts rain clouds rather than chases them away! Cheers
