The Uncle
1
Tara and Ed got off the train ten minutes ago, but
there was no sign of Uncle James. “Let’s think,” said
Ed. “What do we know about him?” The children
thought for a moment. “He likes animals, so maybe he
has a pet,” said Tara. They watched people walking
past. They didn’t see any animals. “Mum used to say
our uncle was as big as a house,” said Ed, “so maybe
he’s tall.” They couldn’t see anyone tall.
