Aldo in Arcadia (Part 1)

ALDO IN ARCADIA

One sunny morning Aldo was cleaning the windows of his little cottage.

But he could not reach the ones upstairs. “Oh, those are too high for me.”

“Anyway, I think it’s time for tea. I bet Uncle Emo would like a cup.”

“Uncle Emo! Uncle Emo! Are you in there?”

“Hey! What’s happening?” “Quick, catch my vacuum cleaner! Oh, too late.”

“Look, it’s flying!” “Yes, I did it with a magic spell.”

“What for?” “I wanted it to clean the house, of course.”

“Gosh, look! The house is alive!” “Perhaps that spell was a bit too strong.”

“All the things are cleaning by themselves.”

” This isn’t so bad after all, Aldo.” “Now you don’t need a vacuum cleaner.

“Let’s go outside and watch the house.” “Look, the house is washing itself in the river. Wow!

Well, I’d better be going, Uncle Emo.

“Thanks for the tea, Aldo … Goodbye.”

“It’s the vacuum cleaner coming back. Hey, put me down!”

“This is fun. I can see my cottage and there’s Uncle Emo’s house.”

“Mind the trees! “ we’re getting closer to the river …”

“Told you we were getting close to the river.”

“That was amazing! Hey, I’ve had a great idea!”

“You can help me with my windows if you like. We’ll be finished in no time.”

That night, Aldo and his new friend went up to bed. “Goodnight, vacuum.”
