Calamity

Hibou is gone. I am very sad, because I love him. He's not actually an hibou ("owl" in French). Since I was very little, Papa has always sung the "Hibou-Cuckoo song" to me, using my toy giraffe as a prop, so I have always called him 'Hibou'.

On my way to Kids' Gallery this morning, I put him in the seat next to me, and forgot him when we got off the bus. I was thinking about him all through the class. I cried so much after losing him, and Lorielyn bought me two cars and a soft hippo to make me feel better. I sometimes want to take my friends when going out. Today Doggie and Mr Tiger went out with me out in my bag. I now wish I kept Hibou in my bag.

Papa said he put out an APB on Hibou - he phoned up the bus company many times, but nobody had handed him in. Papa said he hoped I learned my lesson. Goodbye Hibou :.....-0
