Fiasol - Doing fine

Fíasól is a seven-year-old crab living in Green Grove in Grasby. Well, she is not actually a crab. She is a girl born in the Cancer star sign, and in her opinion that stinks. So she’s decided to adopt a brand new star sign for herself, it’s called the Flowery Butterfly and is a sign made specially for people who don’t want to be Cancerians.

She lives in Green Grove with her mum and dad, her big sisters Pippa and Bidda, and a couple of poodles, Hansína and Jensína.

Fíasól’s best friend is called Ingo. He is nine years old and lives in the house diagonally opposite hers. Harold, Herbert and Heba live in the house directly opposite. They are also specially good friends of Fíasól’s.

“I’ll never have to leave Green Grove,” Fíasól sometimes says. “I’ve got all my friends here, my stuff, my bed, and the food of course.”

“You’ll need to go to school,” her ten-year-old sister Pippa retorts.

“Yeah, but then I’ll come straight back home because everything I need is here,” Fíasól replies.

“What if you need to see the doctor?” Pippa asks.

“Then I’ll just make a call and get the doctor to come and see me here,” Fíasól says.

“But what if…” Pippa continues, and so it goes on, the sisters bickering day in and day out.

“Oh, I have such an amazingly big imagination,” Fíasól sometime says, sounding pleased with herself. She is right of course.

“You are queen of your very own enormous imagination,” Fíasól’s mum says to her. “But you’ll have to be careful not to let your ideas fly so high that you lose track of them and they come to a sticky end.”

If you live in a big world of imagination you’re either doing just fine, or you’re in trouble. The thing is, it’s often so difficult to recognise whether an idea is good or bad. Good ideas can get you into trouble and bad ideas can look as if they’re rather good, to start with.
