for the Six Sentence Story Prompt where the given word is Season.

‘
Little Henrietta was so sweeeeet with her big blue eyes, chubby pink cheeks and a teeny weeny button nose, and she also had a very special talent.
If she wiggled her nose at a bud, it would turn into a beautiful flower, if she frowned at an ugly slug it would slither off as fast as its slime could carry it and if she smiled at a spider, it would sit down beside her.
One summer’s day her Mummy and Daddy held a barbecue and Daddy was cooking sausages and stuff on a smoky fire in a big tin box, and there were lots of grownups there talking and laughing and being silly.
It started getting darker, there was a flash of light and a scary rumbling noise and Daddy looked up at the stormy sky and frowned.
The food was nearly ready and time for Daddy to season it but some of the pepper missed and landed on Henrietta’s nose, making her sneeze the biggest little sneeze she’d ever sneezed and suddenly … the black clouds scattered in lots of different directions and the sun beamed down from a bright blue sky.
Henrietta squinted at the sun and grinned, and the sun smiled at Henrietta and winked!

Thanks to GirlieOnTheEdge for hosting
Love this story Keith. 😍🥰
I’m pleased! Thanks, Sadje.
👍👍👍
Such a cute story. I loved the story and that cute baby pic at the end. Well done, my friend!
That’s very kind of you Shweta, thanks so much.
You’re very welcome 🙂
Good one!
(I do hope she grows out of that talent before she hits her teens. Otherwise…?)
Imagine! I’m with you, Christine.
Love it Keith!
I’m pleased, thanks Di.
Awwww! Fun story.
Thanks, Mimi!
Just the little girl you need at a summer BBQ in the UK!
Indeed, until she discovers practical jokes! Thanks, Chris.
Sausages, a cute kid, and a crisis averted, what else does a story need!
Maybe a beer, but little else – à votre santé
Great 6
Thank you so much UP.
“The biggest little sneeze”… LOL Priceless prose, Keith. A winner.
That’s so kind of you Susan, thank you. Achoo!
Cute tiddly tale, Keith. I like how she interacted with the the flower, spider and slug 🙂
I’m really pleased you enjoyed it, she does seem to have an affinity with nature!
Aww, this is adorable! Thanks for starting my day with a smile ♥
I’m delighted to have done so CJ, thank you for dropping by.
Children’s books next, Keith? You have the talent.
You’re not the first to ask that Doug, who knows?. I’ve written a lot of kid’s stories, most of which have a link at the foot of the page. Thanks so much for your kind words.
Go for it!
Love this and I hope the smile it gave me lasts until get outside and see the sun!
That’s so kind of you Michsel, thank you.
It’s so nice to see her sneeze led to a positive response. People with those kinds of talents have always been so notorious for accidental moments’ provoking unfortunate catastrophes~
We are safe with her I’m sure! Cheers Larry.
Awwww too cute, but I also have to thank you for the previous story about the brother & sister… you’ll never know how much that helped me & my sister-in-law & hubby. I left a comment there. I have to stop by here more often you my new friend are a genius… actually we’re old friends I loved stopping by the countries you seen, but then I had back surgery AGAIN (bummer), and my whole life got dis-ka-boob-a-lated as my grandson says! He loves making up words. I think he has a whole language to himself. hahahha Have a great day and stay safe & healthy my friend! hugs!
I can’t thank you enough for your lovely comments, both here and beneath my other tale. It makes it all worthwhile. Love your grandson’s word, kids do come out with some gems! Look after yourself and thanks again.
Lovely.
Thanks Romi.
Not to be contrarian* to my fellow Reader/Commentationers… but I was on the edge of my seat as I read this tale of a delightful little girl.
I suspect it was the introduction of the adults… (think about the stories we’ve all enjoyed that have involved children with special abilities…. things go badly after they put in an appearance.)
No, I take it back! Fun tale.
(Though I thought, ‘the Sun winked’ which preceded a solar flare that wiped out half the population….. but that didn’t happen did it? lol)
*yeah, right lol
I guess I could change this into a dark tale … but I won’t! So,no darstardly deeds or wipe outs! I’m delighted that my story drew you in – then let you go!
She certainly is a magical child. We could use the rain but yeah, who wants their barbecue ruined? Very cute Six!
Nothing worse than soggy sausages! Thanks so much.
That is just delightful, Keith! I read it aloud and the sound of the story is beautiful too. The child’s voice and the magic – perfect.
Oh wow! What a lovely comment Jenne, I’m so happy.
Cute! This would be a great little story to have illustrated and published as a children’s book, IMO.
If only! Thanks so much for your kind words Pat.
The first word that came to mind was “precious”. No really, Keith 😀
What a precious Six! I’ve no doubt you’d be very successful writing children’s books 🙂
That’s really kind of you Denise, thanks so much.
