When twins Minnie and Max are read a story about the pairs of animals in Noah's Ark, it gives them an idea for a lively bedtime game. On the stairs, they're tigers; in the bathroom, they splash like crocodiles. But when Dad tucks them up, they curl up like two little mice and fall fast asleep. |
“In the dark, the twins were two bats flying. Then they jumped about like kangaroos.”
