DOROTHY THE DANCING DOUGHNUT Boodlebobs [EP-02] – http://bit.ly/bb-dorothy By Jo Kemp
This is a story all about Dorothy and yes, she’s a doughnut.
Dorothy loved dancing. She knew the names of all the dances – the waltz, the tango, the foxtrot. She even knew the monster mash and the jive.
But she was a TERRIBLE dancer. It was because of her shape – and her shoes – and she couldn’t change her shape (and she certainly wasn’t going to change her shoes).
“OOOOH OOOH… I love to dance!” she sang as she tripped and crashed around.
“I think you should give up dancing,” said Ivy, “You’re such a TERRIBLE dancer!”
Everyone gasped. Everyone knew that Dorothy was a terrible dancer but it wasn’t right to tell her…
…to hurt her feelings like that.“Maybe you should have a few lessons just now”, said Tina quickly, “You know, polish up your act.”
“Ohhhh! That would be wonderful!” beamed Dorothy and did a sort of pirouette.
