Sebastian Sparrow’s Adventures: Frights and Delights on his Travels

Arnold and Alice Alpaca talking to Sebastian Sparrow

The tan coloured animal responded to Sebastian and said “Hello little sparrow, I am Alice Alpaca, and this is my friend Arnold Alpaca. Watch out for Arnold, he likes to spit, and he can spit a long way. He thinks it is funny and I keep telling him it isn’t a nice thing to do, but he won’t stop.”

“Hello Alice and Arnold,’ chirped Sebastian, “so nice to meet you, do you live here?” “Yes, we do, with all the other alpacas in this field. The farmer looks after us well and when it starts to get warm, he cuts our hair short so we are more comfortable.” said Alice.

Will was watching Arnold carefully and saw a glint in his eye that he didn’t feel comfortable about. “Careful Sebastian,” whispered Will, “I think Arnold is up to something, he’s making funny noises in his throat.”

Just as Will finished his sentence, he heard a loud spitting noise and then a shriek from Sebastian who was falling off Will’s shoulder. “Oh my,” said Will trying not to laugh as he looked down at Sebastian lying on the grass. Sebastian was soaked from his head to his claws!

Trying to recover from the shock, Sebastian let out a feeble chirp. ”Will, Arnold spat at me and I am drenched.”

Poor Sebastian, soaked through from Arnold Alpaca’s spit!
