THE STORY

In the cool hills of Mandeville, Manchester in Jamaica a sweet little boy name David lived with his family. it was a cool night so his mama dressed him in a warm pair of warm pajamas and a snug little hat. He loved his hat the most as it had a fun puffy ball at the end.

One night while getting ready for bed he couldn’t find his hat! He was so sad. He searched everywhere for his hat and it was nowhere to be found. Finally his mama found his hat hidden far under his bed. He’d forgotten that he was playing with his truck under his bed and had brought it with him.

Finally, a happy boy once again, he put his hat on and jumped in bed. His mama read him his favorite bed time story, “Anansi & The Tiger”, and he fell sound asleep.
