long long time ago when I was just a little girl I always thought my favourite teddy bear and my other toys came to life when I wasn't around. I thought they played with each other and had big parties.

One time when I was lying in bed I thought that of a way I could spy on the toys while they had come to life. My plan was to leave the room and wait for the toys to come to life and then peep through the key hole and watch them play.

The next morning I set out to catch the toys playing. I jumped out of bed and went to have breakfast. I could hardly wait to peep through the key hole. I crunched up my cereal as fast as I could. I was sure that I would catch them playing. I ran over to my bedroom door and had a peep through the key hole. I looked all around but I couldn't see them. Then I peered over to the toy box and the toys were still in their. They hadn't even moved.

I sat down and thought, - why hadn't they come to life, I was sure they would.

The End
