    Dear Journal,

    I wish you were a cake, or a honey dumpling, or some sweet meats. I am so hungry it feels like there is a mousie nibbling in my tummy all the time. Mumma and Pappa says I’m only allowed to eat clean food like bread, and they only give me yucky ginger tea to drink for the freeze. And I have to stay in my room all the time, with the fireplace lit. It’s so hot and gross in here,  Pappa said the warmness will help me get better, but all it makes me do is sweat so much it makes me lightheaded. I think they are trying to punish me because well…

    … Days and days ago they made me and my brothers all sit into Pappa’s study together. They started talking in their low and serious voices asking if we had dome anything bad lately, or insulted anyone in the village. Those meanies told them about Mrs. Cadarus and how she caught me throwing stones at her cat. They were really, really angry and yelled at me so had I had another coughing fit. Now I’m stuck in this boring room and no one is allowed to see me. Stupid brothers. If they hadn’t said anything I would have gotten away with it.

    I’m so bored Mister Journal, hungry too.

    Gwen.

    Dear Journal,

    Sometimes feels like fatty fatty Fathia from the village is sitting on me. I try and suck in air but it just doesn’t work. Mumma thinks I am getting the winter freeze in my chest and makes me drink these yucky teas that taste like dirt and perkles. They make me want to perkle… but she says I have to drink them or I might not be able to sing proper for a long time.

    Sing lessons now have turned into more Vandagan lessons which is boring. Why do I need to learn Vandagan when I have Mumma and Pappa to tell me what people are saying? Silly Mumma, Silly Pappa. Oh well, at least they don’t make me bark like trying to sing does.
