Little Miss Wise Book

Little Miss Wise is as wise as an owl ,,, possibly two owls.

She brushed her teeth every day, she made her bed every day, she tidied her house every day, and did lots of other wise and sensible things.

She used to go for a walk every day and on one of her walks she met Miss Naughty who wanted her to jump in some puddles with her, but, being wise, she didn't want to get her feet wet so she declined.

Then she met Miss Greedy who wanted her to eat some cake filled with cream and smothered in pink icing but, being wise, she refused because she did not want an upset stomach.

On successive days she refused to get into Mr Busy's racing car because she did not want an accident and she declined to go into Mr Messy's house because she would get dirty. But, she was so kind as not to tell Mr Messy the reason why she didn't venture in.

On the Friday she did not want to play tennis with Mr Silly even though there was nothing silly about a game of tennis.

By the end of the week she was downcast because refusing all her friends meant that she would very quickly have no friends. So she decided to change and immediately she met Mr Mischief who wanted to give her a present. She was about to say 'No' when she remembered what she had decided to do, so she changed her mind and accepted the present. The parcel contained sneezing powder and she used 199 handkerchiefs in trying to stop sneezing; how unwise of her to accept!

Finally she met Mr Nonsense who asked her to go for a ride in his aeroplane. Again she was about to say no but changed her mind. This could be considered unwise but fortunately his aeroplane had no wings, no engine and no wheels ... it was a doormat! Have you ever heard such nonsense, Miss Wise, hadn't!
