At 6:47 in the Sun Room.

"Inside the colour" is a phrase I've never thought about.' Mused Jacqueline. Jacqueline is a bit weird, she has dark red messy hair and a strange voice which bounces between words like a frog and wears turquoise beads. The Moose threw back his head and laughed his infectious laugh, 'Aaaaaaaaaahhhh ha haha, heh heh heh (etc) Imagine that?' he laughed again 'ha haha, ha haha, heh heh heh... a frog wearing turquoise beads!' I shook my hand in a bucket of monkeys 'whatever next, what colour beads do frog normally wear?' I thought out loud.  'There!' said Jacqueline in the way one people normally do when they're going to say something else once other people have said "what, what?' and everyone looked at her in expectation, but nothing happened. I told you she was weird... I once even saw her talking to herself, and she writes rhyming words on scraps of paper with an ink pen and scrunches them up and leaves them lying around for people to read (which is mental and I think she should see a doc. 'What is inside the colour?' asked Sally trying to be nice. (Jacqueline (who was mentioned just before) doesn't like Sally)...
The Moose stood up and raised one hoof 'this is the Sun' standing on a chair 'notice how yellow it is.' He raised another hoof circling it around the first 'Now here comes Pluto!' The Moose put another hoof into orbit 'Mars the red planet' Then another hoof started circling the sun (which was the first hoof) 'The Earth!' Everyone cheered. Sally giggled 'look the earth is turquoise like frogs beads' Jacqueline looked at Sally and smiled, 'That's true, they are'. Sally made her cheeks dimple 'lets be friends' 'Okay' agreed Jacqueline. 'What is inside the colour?' asked Sally, 'Well you see...' said Jacqueline as they left the room. 


'This a an experiment' said the Moose 'Watch' so we did.


and                                a                                            long                              long                           time                                                       

later                        there was a lot of colour floating around in the air and one could reach out and touch it. It was quite amazing and much like walking through a field of flowers and butterflies. Sally and Jacqueline came back into the room and looked around, 'where's the tea?' asked Sally. The Librarian got up and pointed to the tea pot 'on that chair' Sally walked over 'tea anyone?'. By the way they weren't real monkey's but plastic ones. It's a fun game where there's a barrel of plastic monkeys and one has to make monkey chains by making the monkey's hold hands and whoever picks up the most monkey's wins.
