Kids write the funniest things...

I was tidying and came across this, written by Little Miss M. She loves reading and writing (and is very good at it too), but she might just have a gift for doing tiny drabbles. Transcribed from the original:

once aupon a time there was a ketl and a lemin they were sad the end

The mind of a 6-year old...

Seems to have all the elements right - romance, angst and a bit of a cliff-hanger - will they ever find happiness? Were they sad because the ketl was an appliansexual and could not find a toaster who truly cared, or did the ketl love the lemin to no avail as the lemin was only interested in oranges? We know 'oranges are not the only fruit' - but did it feel a ketl was a bit out of it's genre?

Are we actually all guilty of misinterpretation - was the lemin sad because the ketl wouldn't jump off a cliff with it?

We need the next chapter -aaargh!!!
