BERNARD THE MAGIC DOG, (BERNARD SAVES DILLY THE DUCK),

By Deborah Warburton

 

PICTURE ONE

Bernard is a boxer dog breed. He wears a red collar that has different coloured diamond shapes. Bernard is lying down outside his kennel. Bernard’s kennel is made of bricks with a tiled roof. The kennel door is red and open.

Bernard is snoozing in his garden. Dreaming of chasing cats.


PICTURE TWO

Bernard is stood outside his kennel. His nose is pointing up. The wind is blowing around him. 

Bernard heard lots of laughter and he went to see what was going on. The wind was blowing all around him.

 

PICTURE THREE

Bernard is stood next to his kennel. He is facing the fence. Mable the cat is up in the air.

The wind is blowing so hard it blew Mabel the cat up in the air.

“MEOW, MEOW,” cried Mabel.

Bernard didn’t like Mabel because she always teased him and when he barked at her he would get told off.

“Mabel always gets to do the best things, like flying Bernard grumped to himself”. And he strolled back to his kennel.

“I do wish I could fly like Mabel. I bet she can see lots of things, he sighed”. “I can only smell and bark. Smell woof, smel woo, smoof he daydreamed”.


PICTURE FOUR

Bernard’s ears are flapping up and down fast and his tail is spinning around fast.

“What’s happening to me?” cried Bernard.” I can fly and I can talk,” he shouted all excited.

FLAP, WAG, went his ears and tail. Bernard flew around his garden.

 

PICTURE FIVE

Bernard is flying past a church steeple. Below him is the duck pond. Above him is a cloud.

“I CAN FLY,” he shouted. Up and up he flew into the cloud.

 

PICTURE SIX

Bernard is in the cloud you can see his eyes and his tail wagging. There are another pair of eyes in the cloud.

“Who are you?” said a voice. 

Bernard is startled. “I’m Bernard,” he answered looking around.

“Hello Bernard, I’m Clump the cloud and I have seen you before lying down outside your kennel,” said Clump.

“I didn’t know I could fly Clump, I’m so excited I can talk too.”

“Did you say the magic word smoof?”  Clump asked.

“I thought I was just dreaming,” Bernard replied.

Clump sighed. “It’s very lonely up here will you be my friend and come and visit me?” he asked Bernard.

 

PICTURE SEVEN

Bernard is flying over the duck pond. Dilly the duck is in the pond. She is flapping her wings.

“I would love to be your friend Clump. See you soon,” and off Bernard flew across the duck pond.

“QUACK, QUACK, QUACK,” shouted Dilly the duck.

Bernard landed at the side if the pond.

“Hi Dilly,” he said.

“BERNARD HELP ME. MY PAD IS STUCK ON A WEED,” cried Dilly.

“Stay still Dilly,” Bernard instructed. “I will try to free you with my teeth.”

 

PICTURE EIGHT

Bernard is next to Dilly in the pond, his head is in the pond and his tail is up in the air.

Bernard ducked his head under the water to try and free Dilly. He came up for some air then ducked under the water again until Dilly’s pad is free.

Up she flew and landed on the side of the pond.

 

PICTURE NINE

Dilly is stood on the grass she is holding one of her pads up in the air.  Bernard is stood at the side of the pond shaking the water off himself. Clump is watching above them.

BERNARD, LOOK,” shouted Clump. “DILLY IS LIMPING. HELP HER BERNARD,” Clump shouted. 

“How can I help her?” enquired Bernard.

“Take her to your kennel and through the blue and white door,” Clump instructed. “HURRY,” he cried.

 

PICTURE TEN

Dilly is sat on Bernard’s back. Bernard is walking towards his kennel.

Bernard had no idea what Clump is talking about, his kennel did not have a blue and white door inside. But being a good dog, he always did as he was told.

“Fly onto my back Dilly,” said Bernard.

“QUACK, QUACK,” cried Dilly.

“HOLD ON,” shouted Bernard as they landed outside Bernard’s kennel.

 

PICTURE ELEVEN

Bernard and Dilly are in Bernard’s kennel. The kennel is bigger on the inside and there are different coloured doors along each side.

Bernard walked to the blue and white door.

“PRESS THE BLUE DIAMOND ON YOUR COLLAR,” Clump shouted from outside.

 

PICTURE TWELVE

Bernard’s paw is on the blue diamond. There is a huge flash of light outside the blue and white door which is open.

Bernard and Dilly walked through the door. They are on a jetty.

 

PICTURE THIRTEEN

Bernard and Dilly walking along the jetty. At the end, there is a boat. Driving the boat is a creature shaped like a snorkel wearing huge goggles. In the distance is a waterfall.

“Climb on board,” said a funny looking creature. “Don’t be afraid.”

“Who are you?” asked Bernard.

“I’m a snokkle wokkle. You’re in Snokkle Wokkle Land I am going to take you both to the See Me hospital.”

The snokkle wokkle started the boat. As they sailed along Bernard could see a huge waterfall ahead.

“WATCH OUT,” shouted Bernard. “WE ARE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE WATERFALL.”

“PRESS THE BLUE DIAMOND,” shouted back the Snorkkle Workkle.

Bernard did as he was told.

 

PICTURE FOURTEEN

The waterfall is open. Inside there are hospital beds. On one bed is a squirrel with a bandage on his tail. Dr Dog is stood by an empty bed. He as his white coat on and there is a pair of glasses perched on his nose. He is holding a stethoscope with coloured buttons all along it.

The Snorkkle Workkle stopped the boat inside the waterfall at the See Me hospital. 

“Over to the empty bed,” shouted Dr Dog.

Dilly flew and landed on a bed. “QUACK,” she whimpered.

Dr dog pointed his red stick.

“Now let me see. What colour for duck’s pads? Arr the yellow one,” said Dr Dog and he pressed the yellow button. A light flashed and Dilly jumped off the bed and started waddling around.

“Quack quack,” quacked Dilly.

“Thank you,” said Bernard. Come on Dilly time to go home.

 

PICTURE FIFTEEN

Bernard has his paw on the blue diamond. There is a white light around them.

Bernard pressed the blue diamond on his collar. A blue light flashed.

 

PICTURE SIXTEEN

Bernard is stood by his kennel. Dilly is walking away from the kennel.

What just happened then?” asked Bernard.

“Quack, Quack,” Dilly replied and waddled off to her pond.

Bernard looked up, Clump the cloud winked.

“See you again soon Bernard,” he shouted.

Bernard wagged his tail. “Woof Woof,” he barked, and as he lay down, he fell fast asleep.
