Fairy tale

This is the story of Little D, who wanted, wanted, wanted to go wading in the river. But even though he's growing to be bigger and stronger and more of a boy-wonder by the minute, he still needed a hand to hold while he ventured into deeper water. Kind, unsuspecting Auntie Sara volunteered for the job, and off they went, traipsing and splashing over the smooth river rocks. But river water is cold, even during the hot months of summer, and very quickly Little D decided that instead of holding Auntie Sara's hand, what he wanted was to scale Auntie Sara like a lumberjack in a tree climbing contest. So he held his hands up, scrambling about, shrieking and pleading with Auntie Sara to rescue his dripping, sopping little self from the Arctic waters. And while Auntie Sara had originally signed up only to hold his hand, in the end she realized that resistance was futile, and so hoisting him up, she and Little D made their way back to shore, both considerably less dry than when they started. The end :)
