One day Roger came home from school and had his tea. He watched tv, played with Dad, had his bath and went to bed.

Mum read him a story, kissed him goodnight, turned off the light and closed the door.

Roger soon fell asleep and slept and slept and slept.....

Then he had a funny dream. He was out shopping with Mummy. He had his blue coat on and Mum had her yellow jacket. They were walking along the High Street when they heard a noise. "Woof! Woof!" They looked across the street and saw a big brown dog chasing a ginger cat. The cat jumped over the wall and the big dog followed it. They heard "Grrrr!" coming from the other side.

Then Roger noticed a number 94 bus coming along the road. The driver had a big grey beard. He waved to Roger and Roger waved back.

They carried on and met Mrs Briggs from across the street walking the other way.

"Hello Roger.", said Mrs Briggs.

"Hello Mrs Briggs." replied Roger.

Then they saw a man up a ladder painting the wall of a house orange. Just as they were about to walk under his ladder the man dropped his pot of paint. It hit Mum on the head. The paint splashed all over Mum's coat and all over Roger too. "Ouch!" screamed Mum and she cried and cried.

Roger woke up. He was sweating and his heart was banging.

He got up and went to the toilet and drank a glass of water.

Eventually he went back to sleep.

Next morning Mum woke him up at 9 o'clock.

"Hello Roger." she said, "Today's Saturday. You don't have to go to school. Dad has to work on the computer for his business, so after breakfast I'm going to take you shopping, and when we finish we can have an ice cream together."

Roger got up and ate breakfast. Then he and Mum got ready to go shopping.

"You'd better wear your blue coat," said Mum, "it's getting colder now."

Roger put on his blue coat and Mummy wore her yellow jacket and off they went.

As they were walking along the High Street they heard a noise. "Woof! Woof!" Across the street a big brown dog was chasing a ginger cat. The terrified cat jumped over the wall and the big dog followed it. They heard "Grrrr!" coming from the other side.

Then Roger saw a number 94 bus coming along the road. The driver had a big grey beard. He waved to Roger and Roger waved back.

"That's strange." thought Roger as he remembered his dream.

They carried on Roger wasn't so surprised when they met Mrs Briggs walking the other way.

"Hello Roger.", said Mrs Briggs.

"Hello" replied Roger.

Then they saw a man up a ladder painting the wall of a house. Just as they were about to walk under the ladder Roger pulled at Mum and screamed "Mum! Stop!"

"Roger. Don't be silly." said Mum.

Just then the man dropped his pot of paint. The orange paint splattered all over the pavement, but luckily it missed Roger and Mummy.

Mummy picked Roger up.

"Roger. You clever boy", she said, "You saved me. I'm going to buy you an extra big ice cream. But how did you know the man would drop his paint?"

I dreamt it, said Roger.
