hello I'm Louis I like to ask people questions lots of questions
this is my friend Peggy she's a pigeon and she's always saying sorry
so I'm going to try to find out why
Peggy why do you always say sorry
do you sometimes feel like you have to say sorry
at this point I began to wonder if I was pressing Peggy too hard but then she answered
you really don't need to say sorry Peggy in fact
I have a bedtime story for you which could be useful because it's about it
sorry Peggy can I just do this bit now I'm saying sorry sorry I think we need to hear
tonight's bedtime story to put an end to all this apologizing it's called Peggy the
always sorry pigeon and it's written by Wendy Meddour with illustrations by Carmen Saldana
Peggy was perched on a bus stop when three scruffy pigeons flew by
oi they grumbled this is our perch sorry said Peggy I didn't mean to get in your way
Peggy flapped down onto the pavement when a road sweeper drove along
shoo she shouted I can't stand pesky pigeons sorry spluttered Peggy flying off to the park
pigeon toes barked a dog shaking water out of his coat this is my bench oh dear sobbed Peggy
I'm so sorry Peggy started pecking at a crisp when hey called a voice I've been watching you
it was a great big seagull sorry got Peggy I didn't see you the name's Joan and stop saying
sorry you keep saying sorry when you haven't done anything wrong yes I have sniffed Peggy
I pinched the best perch at the bus stop I got in the road sweeper's way and I sat on that dog's
favorite bench nonsense said Joan you got pushed off your perch swept off your pavement and shoved
off that bench by a very rude dog Peggy blinked did I yes you need to stand up for yourself
sorry sighed Peggy but I'm not that sort of pigeon stop apologizing said Joan For
Heaven's Sake say something else like what asked Peggy like anything groaned Joan
the next day Peggy was perched on the bus stop when the three scruffy pigeons flew by
oi they grumbled this is our perch oh yes well pickled onions
mumbled Peggy again but louder whispered Joan Peggy took a very deep breath pickled onions she shouted
what the scruffy pigeons blinked you heard what the pigeon said the three pigeons flapped and flew away
just then the road sweeper came along shoo she screeched her brakes and covered Peggy in dust
soggy hat sandwich blinked Peggy slowly lifting her head again but louder whispered Joan
soggy hat sandwich yelled Peggy what you heard what the pigeon said
scorched Joan the road sweeper revved up her engine and zoomed away
Peggy and Joan flew over to the park oi get off my bench pigeon toes
barked the dog Peggy threw back her shoulders ice cream ketchup pants she said again
but louder whispered Joan ice cream ketchup pants trumpet toes shrieked Peggy what
you heard what the pigeon said beamed Joan Joan and Peggy bobbed about on the lake until the
sun began to set thanks for helping me stand up for myself said Peggy your gruntastically Siege
elastically amazing sorry I'm what blushed Joan Peggy giggled then puffed out her chest feathers
you heard what the pigeon said
wow I think Peggy learned a very valuable lesson
you only need to say sorry if you've done something wrong and when someone is unkind
sometimes we need to puff up our chest feathers take a deep breath and stand up for ourselves
here's how I do it
