"Oh for goodness sake Zlata, how on earth did you get up there & why?" shouted an impatient Jasmine. Meadow decided she would sit this one out & say nothing but she was so wishing they were back home. It would soon be Christmas. A muffled voice came from the tree. Neither Jasmine or Meadow knew what she had uttered. "Well I am sorry but we really need to get back home. We haven't found Zwoggle & you know how worried he will be out on his own." Jasmine called up to Zlata. "IT'S ALL RIGHT I AM COMING DOWN." Zlata shouted at the top of her voice & nearly falling out of the tree. "Well I will reach up & you jump & I will catch you." Jasmine said to Zlata. "OK" came the reply. "Here I come." So Zlata was very brave & jumped down to Jasmine. "Right." said Meadow breathing a sigh of relief. "Lets get a move on, I am hungry & it will soon be Christmas." "Hmm, I am rather peckish." said Jasmine. Come on Zlata lets go home & we will have to hope that Zwoggle is there & hopefully Truly & Mr. Buck. "By the way Zlata why were you up that tree?" asked Jasmine as they walked away. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. xxx Background - janeeden
