Bonfire Night

TODDLER

Mummy, I can hear loud banging noises, it’s scaring me,

I do hope we’re not in some terrible danger - are we?

MOTHER

No, love. This is bonfire night, it happens every year,

Mr Guy Fawkes and his gang started it a long time ago.

They wanted to destroy the houses of parliament - I fear,

But, for some reason the gun powder just didn’t blow.
