Harry the Poisonous Centipede's Big Adventure Page 7

by Lynne Reid Banks


  But long after they’d gone to their leaves, Belinda stood guard over them and thought to herself, “I wish I could stop them ever going out of our tunnels again! I wish I could keep them from danger!” But she knew she couldn’t. Centis will be centis and there wasn’t a thing she could do about it.

  “Who would be a mother?” she thought. And then answered, “I would …”

  And she gave them both a centipede kiss and went contentedly to sleep.
