Down at the bottom of my garden! Every day I have been in my garden but I
had never noticed the strange little door underneath the bushes. ‘For how
long has that been there?’ I asked myself. Going forward quietly I tiptoed up

I was when the door was opened by a very small man wearing a little pointy
hat.
