Bobby's Big Brother Adventure

Once upon a time in a quiet town, lived a curious boy named Bobby Brown. He had a brother, oh so bold, who left when Bobby was just five years old.

Bobby missed his brother every day, so he decided to find him, come what may. With a trusty map and lots of snacks, he set off on the dusty tracks.

With a hop, a skip, and a jumpity-jump, Bobby met a frog named Fred by the stump. Fred said, 'Ribbit! I’ll help you see, the way to your brother must go through me!'

Bobby and Fred leapt through the trees, high as the birds, light as the breeze. They came to a river, wide and blue, with a bridge that said 'Cross—It’s True!'

Splash! Splash! Through waves they went, each one feeling heaven-sent. On the other side, who did they meet? A talking turtle named Tabby, so sweet!

'You’ll need wisdom', Tabby did say, 'To find your brother far away. Climb the hill and don't be slow; there’s a giant with answers you need to know.'

Climbing hills can be quite tiring, but Bobby’s heart was always inspiring. Up and up, they heaved and hauled, till they reached a giant, groggy and tall.

The giant yawned and stretched his toes, 'Hello there the little ones I suppose. Follow the rainbow, bright and clear; that's where your brother will appear.'
