A Bedroom for Billo B1

I love my four-legged friends! That’s why I share my house with Renzo the scardy-cat, Olivia the pint-sized dog and Billo the fluffy giant. They get up to all sorts of mischief and sometimes I lose patience with them.

The other day, Billo was chasing Renzo around the house. The poor cat escaped by jumping up onto the wardrobe, but he almost knocked the clothes hanger with my nighty onto the floor. Disappointed that the chase was over, Billo jumped up onto the bed and made himself comfortable on the duvet and my pillow and there was no use in trying to get him down. Amongst all the chaos, Olivia decided to chew on my slipper, I think she wanted some attention too.

Luckily I’m much smarter than all three of them put together and I’ve come up with a surefire way to get them out of my bedroom –  the alarm clock! When the alarm goes off, they disappear in a flash and all that’s left to do is close the door and draw the curtains. I get into bed quickly and take my book from the bedside table. Finally some peace and quiet .
