I came across Fishy Fred walking along the riverbank.
‘Look what I caught’, he said. In his bucket was a sad looking baby – then I noticed it had a tail!
‘A merbabe’, I exclaimed, ‘where did you find her…him…it?’
‘Sitting on that rock’, he said, ‘should I take it to the children’s home or the aquarium?’
I heard a voice in my ear. ‘Wake up sleepy-head’.
‘Oh, I nodded off, I just had a ridiculous dream’, I said to my girlfriend, ‘I dreamt Fred found a merbabe!’
‘How exciting, I hope it comes true’, she said, flapping her tail.

Fun twist in the … er …. tail
A whale of a tale, well sort of. 😉
Didn’t expect that twist 😁
A tail story….nice one
Dear Keith,
What a sweet dream and I love how you flipped that story in the end. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
A cute story Keith
Nothing fishy going on here …. just a delightful tail ….erm, tale! 🧜🏻♀️
I was hooked from the first sentence
oops!
A Disney cartoon in the making.
Keith, what a delightful twist. I hope Fred’s dreams do come true.
I like where you took this one…into the realm of dreams. Nicely done, Keith.
I’m thinking his dream is based on his desire to meet another similar couple.. you know, so they can double-date!
Ha, what a fun tale of tails!
Fab dream Keith…..or was it?? 😄
