Sunni's Day Out
Thursday, January 28, 2010
Sunni had been looking forward to Friday all week because he was planing a big day out. Sunni was going down to the seaside to see his good friend Tula the turtle.
They had planned the day a week ago and knew just what they were going to do. Sunni was going to take a swim with Tula and then refresh himself in the clear stream and then they were planning on building sand castles.
Finally Friday came and Sunni got up and gathered his towel, sunscreen and hat and headed off to the seaside. He skipped along happily eager to see Tula and to take a dip in the sea.
When Sunni arrived at the beach he couldn't see Tula anywhere. But he did see a bucket and spade, a picnic rug and a big picnic basket full of yummy treats.
"Tula, where are you?" Sunni called. But Tula didn't answer.
"Tula, where are you?" Sunni called once more. But Tula still didn't answer.
"Tula, I'm coming to find you" Sunni called. Tula didn't answer but Sunni thought he heard a giggle.
Sunni dropped his things on teh picnic blanket and started to search the shore when from behind him he was splashed. Sunni turned around to see Tula Floating in the sea with a twinkle in her eye.
"Tula, were you hiding from me?" asked Sunni.
"Yes" replied Tula, "I was palying a trick on you and it was fun to see you searching under the palms and around the shore for me when I was hiding in the sea."
"It was funny" said Sunni. "I might come in and join you" he said. So Sunni put his sunscreen on and waded out into the water where he played with Tula chasing baby jellyfish and splashing around.
later when they were tired Sunni refreshed himself in the clear stream and they lay on the picninc blanket and ate the treats inside the basket.
"Oh I am full" said Suni.
"Me too" said Tula. "I think I need a big stretch!" So Tula sat down and stretched in a seated forward bend. "Come on Sunni you can do this too" she said.
"You do it like this "first you sit with you legs out in front then you stretch them to the sides, then you sit up as tall as you can, and bend forward from you hips, sliding you hands straight out forward on the ground in front of you, see doesn't that feel great" said Tula as Sunni got himself into Tula's stretch.
"Yes it does, but I think I am too tired to make sandcastles today so we will have to do it another day, it is late and I should get home" said Sunni.
"OK, we'll do the sandcastles next time" said Tula.
"Bye, Bye" they both said as Sunni left the seaside and headed home to the park.
A Sunny Sunni Day for Sunni
Thursday, January 21, 2010
It was a beautiful sunny day in the park. The birds were singing in the trees and the leaves and petals of the flowers moved gently in the light breeze.
Sunni was happy and enjoying a stroll through the park. He was being thankful for the beautiful day, the lovely green grass and the sweet smell of summer in the air. He skipped along, thinking it would be great to share such a lovely day with someone. Just then a little boy kicked his soccer ball to near where Sunni was standing.
"I'll get it Sunni shouted" as he picked up the ball and threw it back to the boy.
"Thanks for that" called the boy, "would you like to play?" he asked.
"Oh yes, I like nothing more than to play" said Sunni.
"Great, I'm Toby" said the boy.
"I'm Sunni" replied Sunni
Toby giggled "that's so you!" he said.
So they played with the ball throwing if back and forth for a while until the boy said "I'm tired, what else can we do Sunni?"
"How about we do some relaxing yoga, I'll show you" so Sunni laid down on the green grass and showed Toby how to do a snake pose. First he lay down very falt, then he put his hands on the ground next to his shoulders, he took a deep breath, smelling the lovely fresh grass and lifted his head then as he breathed out he pushed up slowly just a little bit and then making a big SHHHHH sound he gently rolled back down to the ground.
Tody copied Sunni and the did the Snake several times.
"That felt great Sunni, ready to play kick now?" Toby asked. Off they went together to play kick in the park, until Toby's mother called and said it was time to go home.
"Bye Bye Toby, come play again!" called Sunni as Toby left.
"I will, bye!" called Toby as he left the park holding his mother's hand.
Sunni thought it was the best Sunny day he'd had in a while as he leaned back against the big tree.
