      The Latest, The Biggest And The Best (1)

      Once upon a time...

      There was a little girl who always got what she wanted. Her parents would buy her everything she asked for. She had all the latest toys, all the best clothes, all the sweets she could eat and all the best that money could buy - the latest, the biggest and the best. If she didn’t get what she wanted right away, she would scream and scream until she got it. She always got what she wanted.

      It was Christmas Eve and they wasted no time. They began to wrap all the presents right away. They wrapped and wrapped and wrapped, and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped, and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped, until eventually they had finished. They were so tired they both fell on the floor exhausted and fell into a deep,
