‘Now, Lucy,’ said Barnaby, his emerald eyes twinkling, ‘we have read many stories of the past and the present. But what about the stories of tomorrow? Let us build a Future sandwich, shall we?’ He brought out a fresh, soft loaf of bread, still warm, and laid it on a special silver plate.
Lucy’s heart jumped for joy at the very thought of it! A sandwich of tomorrow! She imagined all the wonderful things she wanted: a sparkly new doll, a never-ending supply of chocolate biscuits, flying to the moon on a unicorn! She excitedly started adding ingredients: a dollop of strawberry jam for adventure, a slice of cheese for cozy warmth, a sprig of mint for fresh ideas, and a big spoonful of honey for sweet dreams.
She added more and more! A bit of crunchy apple for learning, a soft marshmallow for gentle moments, a sprinkle of glitter for magic! Soon, the sandwich was growing taller and taller, wobbling precariously. It was a truly extraordinary sandwich, growing different delights on every single layer!
