Oliver's bug

Yesterday Oliver woke up with a long face and said he had tummy ache. Then he added it was a tummy bug. He'd swallowed it and now it was in his tummy.

He wasn't quite himself all day, but then perked up when jelly and ice cream was offered as dessert. He happily declared at the table that he had sneezed earlier and the bug has obviously come out which was why he could eat his pudding.

The next day he woke up and, after much pondering said: Mama, you know, I think it was a ladybird.
