For my even littler, littler friend. And, based on a true observation.


"Oh how tired I am" said the Big Sea Lion. I swim and I fish and I swim all the day and my fins hurt so much, oh how they do hurt!.....if only I could find a nice, soft, comfy spot for the night. All those hard rocks to sleep on.....Oh I hope, Ohhhh.. how I hope!¨

And so he swam and he swam, as he did every night, looking for that nice, soft, comfy spot.

And then suddenly, he saw David and his little boat......tucked away on the side of an island. "Oh" he said, "I will go and welcome David and his little boat to my island."

So he swam really fast over to David and his little boat....and what did you think he saw?

There... on the back of David's little boat sat another even littler .....a little...a nice little boat. It was made of soft rubber and just the right size. And then... as he looked closer, not believing his eyes... there, on top of that nice, just the right size, rubber boat was a......soft.... big.... fluffy, blue blue blanket.

"That's just what I need! "David! David!' he called out...."David".....but David was already asleep, very deeply asleep in his bed in his boat.

"Why that's perfect! exclaimed the Big Sea Lion....that's where Im going to sleep tonight!"

So, he backed up... and then swam as fast as he could, faster and faster toward David's little boat and at the very..... last.... moment.... he jumped up, out of the water, whizzed through the air and landed in the middle of the soft.. big... fluffy, blue blue blanket on the littler, that nice, just the right size rubber boat.

"OHHHHH!" he exclaimed, how nice and how soft and how comfy this is .... it fits me just right!" The Big Sea Lion stretched his fins, rolled over on his back...and before he could count to ten, was fast asleep....

...on the soft, big, fluffy, blue blue blanket on the littler, that nice, just the right size, rubber boat....all sitting on the back of David's little boat.
