ANONYMITY
AN ON YM IT Y
This is a very BIG word. This word means:-in the background, not wanting to be seen, not pushy.
Will Begorrah met Betty Cardiff railway station. was a Friday and they were both waiting for the 9.15am train to Dublin. As usual it was and it chuggd into the station at 4.30pm the following afternoon. Whilst they were waiting for the train to arrive Will told Betty he was obsessed with anonymity.
Betty looked Will up I can see that, she replied. Will had on a TALL, RED and YELLOW striped hat, a LONG, WHITE coat which had GREEN and BLACK diamonds stuck all over it, NARROW and PALE BLUE trousers, BROWN and PURPLE socks and NO shoes. Oh yes. can see you do not want to stand out in a crowd, Betty said with a chuckle.
Soon after leaving the station the train stopped. Betty and Will found they were at Barry Island. There will be a short delay, the driver shouted from the engine cab. I have forgotten my sandwiches and flask of tea. The train will be off again in an hour or so." Betty and Will decided to have a ride on a donkey while they waited.
Bettys donkey was GREY and BROWN and very gentle. It walked slowly over the sand. Betty enjoyed her ride very much.
Wills donkey was BLACK and tried to BITE him as he climbed onto its back. He did not like the look in the donkeys eyes. He thought his donkey had a wild look about him. As soon as Will sat in the saddle the donkey set off at a gallop.
Stop. Stop, Will shouted as he was bounced up and down in the saddle.
But Wills donkey did not stop.
Wills donkey did not stop until it came to a high bank. The bank looked as if it was made of sandy-coloured dirt. Will thought his donkey was going to run straight into it. But as Will closed his eyes the donkey slithered to a sharp stop.
Will flew over the donkeys head. He flew right into the earthen bank which was not a bank at all and found himself inside a MUD MONSTER.
There had been a lot of rain and the Mud Monster had grown very large. That was why it looked like a large bank than a mud monster. The Mud Monster's eyes crossed in surprise. It burped once very loudly and Will shot out of his mouth.
Will landed on the grass with a bump.
He was covered in a thick layer of sandy coloured mud. He was all one colour. In fact he looked just like a BABY MUD MONSTER.
"Now you really have anonymity," laughed Betty.
OBSESSED
This word means: You are thinking about one thing most of the time.
