2 Days ago, a sight was seen by late night drivers.   A pheasant called Phillipa ( a very bright bird) had appeared in a lollipop lady outfit and was making traffic.  All she was doing was helping the animals cross the road.  Many of the people from Fairhurst came to watch Phillipa control the traffic.  Everybody knows now that she was just trying to eat blackberries and it was our fault because we were driving too fast.  Well with her being a lollipop lady it does slow us down.  Phillipa has definitely achieved her goal.  So well done!

We asked Phillipa many questions and to our surprise she talked!  And some of the questions we asked were: How did you feel when you stepped onto the road?  And how long are you going to do this job? She replied 'I wanted to make sure that every animal can cross safely'.  We asked the Mayor what a fantastic idea to have a pheasant lollipop lady.  Phillipa was very famous in Fairhurst.   She couldn't let her animal friends be squashed pancake-flat so she risked her life for her friends she explained.  But disaster struck the good village of Fairhurst!  For the mayor's cat (Darling Treasure) was lost.  But our amazing Phillipa saved her from being lost.  And people rejoiced that Darling Treasure was found.  And she is coming to the town hall now and waiting for her is her very own present.
