Lizzy was in a tizzy.
Her special flowers for her favourite friends had all gotten muddled together.
"Oh, no!" Cries Lizzy, "What ever shall I do?"
Lizzy's mum gathers her up, flowers and all, and asks.
"Would Mum magic help?"
Lizzy thinks for a long moment then nods. It never hurts to try.
Lizzy's mum sets her back on her feet and stands up.
"First we'll need a blanket."
Lizzy runs to her room and gathers her blanket. Lizzy's mum spreads out the red and orange blanket and lays out each of the flowers.
"Marigold, rose, violet and daisy."
"Next we'll need some paper and a pencil."
Lizzy's mum goes to her office and collects some paper. Lizzy takes her pencil case out of her school bag. They meet back at the blanket.
Lizzy's mum writes on the top of the paper 'Lizzy's Friends'
- Megan
- Dorothy
- Vanessa
- Rosanna
"Now for the Mum magic! Close your eyes, clap once and tell me something Rosanna likes and doesn't like"
Lizzy scrunches her eyes shut claps once and says, "Rosanna likes red and hates things that end in 't'"
Can you guess which flower is for Rosanna
"Violet ends in a 't', daisy's are white, the marigold is orange. Is it the red rose?" Lizzy's mum asks.
"Yes!" Lizzy's shouts. Mum magic really works.
Lizzy's mum draws a little rose next to Rosanna's name.
Lizzy closes her eyes claps once and says, "Dorothy likes clouds and hates sunsets."
Can you guess which flower is for Dorothy?
Lizzy's mum hmmms, "sunsets are orange and red that fade into blue and purple and clouds are fluffy and white. Is the daisy for Dorothy?"
"Yes!" Lizzy shouts again. Wow, Mum's are really good.
A little daisy is drawn next to Dorothy's name.
"Let's try Megan."
Lizzy closes her eyes claps once and says, "Megan likes mandarins and hates spicy things."
Can you guess which flower is for Megan?
"Well I don't think any of the flowers are spicy, but mandarins are orange and marigolds are orange. Is it the Marigold?"
"Yes!" Lizzy shouts, then hurriedly shuts her eyes claps once and says, "Vanessa likes beaches and hates dogs."
Lizzy opens her eyes waiting on the answer.
Lizzy's mum says "Oh dear. It must be violet, but I don't know why. Why is the violet for Vanessa?"
"Because, Vanessa likes violets silly billy." Lizzy giggles.
The End.
