Squinkle

by Nick Beggs

‘Squinkle’ is a silly name, everyone knows that, and ‘Squinkle’ is an even sillier boy... Everyone knows that too, unless you’re as silly as he is (which I seriously doubt). He doesn’t know many things and he certainly can’t blow bubbles or tie his shoelaces. If you asked him which way was ‘up’, he would have to lie down, because his brain would start to ache from such a difficult question. Poor Squinkle! He can’t help it. He’s just silly! He wears big thick glasses like magnifying glasses. In fact they actually might be magnifying glasses! He has black, flat, greasy hair with a center parting and a thin, white face. But there’s something else you should know about him. He’s the most loyal friend anyone could have.
