Suddenly his friend ShortBeard tugged at his toe. “Hey, LongBeard,” called ShortBeard, would you mind helping me interpret the dream I had last night?”
“Of course not,” LongBeard laughed. “Come on up and tell me the most important words from your dream.” ShortBeard hopped up onto the toadstool and gave LongBeard the list of words which he had prepared in advance. “Happy, bread, cover, face, sailing, smell, coat, harbour,” LongBeard read. He sat back, closed his eyes for a few minutes and then said, “ShortBeard, here is the story that will help you understand your dream:”
She stood on the porch peering out at the vast expanse of the sea in front of her. Butterflies danced in her stomach and a soft smile played on her face.
Her man was coming home today. After weeks of sailing at sea, their captain had at last given the sailors permission to return to their families for a short break.
She had woken early to bake his favourite bread. Lovingly she had spread butter over the crust to keep it soft and moist. The she had covered it with a tea cloth to keep it clean and fresh, ready to be cut when he arrived home.
The smell of freshly baked break always added a touch of homeliness to the happy reunion, which she was looking forward to.
As these pleasant thoughts drifted through her mind, she turned to fetch her coat from the house.
It was time to head down to the harbour.
It was time to meet her man.
