Declan wants to be a detective when he grows up so on his eighth birthday Mummy and Daddy gave him a ginormous magnifying glass. He couldn’t wait to go into the garden to investigate things.
He dropped to his kees and watched an an ant scurrying along the footpath. ‘Interesting’’, he said as he pinched his chin the way detectives do on television.
He spotted a whopping great spider’s web. “Let’s have a closer look”, he said to himself. There was a spider in the middle, a big brown hairy one. Suddenly there was a puff of wind and the web started to whirl around with the spider hanging on for dear life. Declan jumped backwards and landed on his bottom! “Clumsy me”, he muttered, “now I know why spiders have so many legs, it’s so they have lots and lots of toes to cling on with!”
Then he saw a bee on a buttercup. ‘Detectives are brave’, he though, ‘we are not afraid of bees’. He got as close as he dared, and took a look at it. The bee turned around and looked Declan straight in the eye! Declan’s eye must have looked huge behind the magnifying glass. I don’t know who was more afraid, the bee or Declan!
It was nearly teatime and Mummy shouted for him to come indoors and wash his hands.
“Wow”, he said as he peered through his magnifying glass, “these baked beans are enormous!”

Oh I just love Declan’s adventure in the garden – that is so sweet Keith and I think you have the start of a great Children’s story book here 🙌
Thank you Ange. I used to write lots of kiddies tales here, infact I shifted them all over to blog I called Once Upon A Time. There’s link down below. Perhaps it’s time I delved a little deeper!
