THE JOINT STORY
CHAPTER 3
They sailed until they saw a small cottage on the river.It was early in
the morning.The dragon and the fisherman were very hungry but Elyon was
thirsty.All of them were quite tired after a tiring and long journey.So they decided
to have a break by the cottage.They got out of their boat and then they walked
towards the yard of the cottage.The cottage looked extremely old.Its roof was
in a bad contidion..They saw a tiny moving creature in the middle of the
yard.They wondered what it looked like .So they walked up to it.When they
realized that it was a small boy with a cap ,they couldn’t believe their
eyes.He was as small as a pea.He had blond hair.He was wearing a blue t-shirt
and red shorts.They asked what his name was.He answered,”Patufet”.
Patufet was living with his poor father and mother.His father was at
work.He wasn’t at home .His mother was making breakfast for herself and
Patufet.
Patufet invited them in.His mother was very kind to them.She asked where
they came from.They said that they came from
Monserat and they talked about their long journey.She set the breakfast
table for her guests,but there weren’t enough chairs at the table.She asked
Patufet to bring three more chairs from the living room..Patufet went to the
living room and brought the chairs at one time.Our guests got astonished at his
strength.They had difficulty in understanding how Patufet could manage to carry
three chairs at one time.
Although he was as small as a pea ,he was as strong as a huge man.Then
they sat at the table and ate the breakfast happily.After they had
breakfast,they thanked to their host,Patufet,and her mother.They decided to go
on their journey until they found a
place where they could live happily
forever.
They
waved at their guests and they said goodbye to them.Patufet was very happy and
he went inside singing his song “Patim,patam ,patum”
