A Very Special Cushion

"Dear David

This is not only a very late 1st birthday present, but rather an unusual one too, you may think - and I would agree!

We have a new craft shop in our village and it is full of lovely things, except it doesn't do what would normally be thought of as presents for very young people. Yet, anyway... when you open the parcel you will find it is - a small cushion. But it's a special cushion.

When your mummy and daddy say it's time to sleep (or *you* decide it's time) lay your head on or by the cushion. I have told it a special story. But you will only know it if you are very quiet and close your eyes. Then, the story will come into your head and you will dream...

Lots of love
Mary

ps. You are allowed to play with the tassels - but only if you are very, very quiet."
