Little Brother Joffa hopped down from the table after tea and ran to the bathroom. He carefully washed his hands and thought about what to do next.
"Maybe I should go outside - it looks like a lovely evening."
But - oh dear - on the way outside he got distracted by all the lovely threads, pins, braid and ric-rac in Mummy's sewing box.
"What is that beautiful orange stuff?" he wondered. He was just about to pull it all out and play with it but he remembered that Mummy had told him to Leave It All Alone.
"I must obey joyfully!" he said. "Obedience brings joy. Disobedience brings trouble!"
Little Brother Joffa jumped off the table and ran outside singing happily to himself.
The first lovely thing he stopped to look at was the fuschia plant. Some of the flowers were open and they were bright pink with purple in the centre.
"Shall I pull some flowers off?" thought Little Brother Joffa. "No! That would be naughty. I think I'll go and see Harry."
Little Brother Joffa had a nice plump clover flower to feed to Harry.
Harry gobbled it up gratefully.
Just then Little Brother Joffa saw Bobby so he stopped for a chat, but Bobby just licked his ear.
"What beautiful dandelion clocks!" said Little Brother Joffa.
He took a big breath and BLEW AND BLEW! All the little fluffy bits went dancing up into the air and floated gently down to the grass.
"Where shall I go next?" Little Brother Joffa wondered. "Perhaps if I climb the silk tree I will be able to get a better view."
He carefully climbed up and up until he could see all around the section.
"Ah! The strawberry patch! I'll just go and see if there are any strawberries."
Little Brother Joffa carefully climbed down the tree, ran to the strawberry patch and hunted around for strawberries, but he couldn't find any ripe ones.
Next he visited the lavender patch and spent quite a while listening to the bees and smelling the lavender.
Next to the lavender were the towering sunflowers. They were much much taller than Little Brother Joffa.
"I wonder what this is?" puzzled Little Brother Joffa.
"Ah! This is an almond in it's fuzzy jacket." He said.
"And some juicy plums nearly ready to pick - but I won't pick them. Oh no! I won't! That would be VERY naughty."
"These apples arn't quite ready yet."
"Oh! What beautiful flowers! I wonder what they are called? I will ask Mummy."
Little Brother Joffa felt rather puffed out after his tour of the section, so he toddled inside to chat to Mummy about everything he had seen.

I hope you have all enjoyed this tiny little tour of our section.
I just finished making Little Brother Joffa today - I was going to sell him on Trademe, but when I finished I was rather embarrassed about my sewing. It is definitely Family Quality - not Selling Quality.
So Little Brother Joffa won't be sold. He will live here. And I think he'll have quite a nice life.
God Bless
The Mummalady
