“…so then the hobbits escaped from the pirates, crocodiles and ruffians, pulled up the drawbridge of their high and handsome castle, and got clean away.”
“Yay” cried the delighted Ryna. “But what about the parrots”
“Forget the parrots, well, there they were in the castle, which, as I have said was high, wide and handsome…”
“You never said wide.”
“But unfortunately it was creepy.”
“Ooh!”
“There were many ghosts and pictures with moving eyes, but-worst of all-a Thingy was in the moat.”
“What’s a Thingy?”
“Nobody knows,” Sam let his voice get deep and echoey, “or ever lived to tell…”
“Hang on, if nobody knows, how can you say it was there?”
“Because it was,” said Sam exasperatedly
“You’ve contradicted yourself there” pointed out Ryna
“Ryna I don’t know why I bother telling you a bedtime story. You always point out the faults and you are too clever for your own good. It is time you were asleep.
“But daddy I wanna hear the end of the story!”
“Tough. Time to sleep, you’ll hear the rest tomorrow night.” Sam kissed his daughter, tucked her in, turned out the light and turned to walk out of the room.
“Nightie, nightie” whispered Ryna
“Pyjama, pyjama” whispered back Sam and he left pulling the door to behind him.
