A Magical Night, Part One
The children settled down quietly# in front of the fire.
They were exhausted,# but they were happy.
It had been a good day.
The best day of his life, Jamie thought.
Dad had got them out of bed earlier.
If we are to hear the wolf-cry,# we have to go now, he had said.
It was what they had spent# the whole holiday waiting for.
Jamie rubbed his eyes# and stumbled into his clothes.
They were dirty, but today no-one cared.
He was actually a little bit scared# but he had not been able to tell anyone.
Tom and Lea, his older brother and sister,# had been so keen to go# he did not want to say that he was scared.
Scared of the wolves they were going to see.
Scared that they might break away# from their pack and run towards him.
Scared of the sound that they would make.
