" Neddy was still. A solid horsey shape in the dark room and just below the heavy green curtain pulled across the window. Tonight though, there was a gap in the curtain and the full moon beamed down into the room and one of those gentle silver smoke rays touched Neddy on his long wooden nose. He began to rock ever so slowly and very very quietly so as not to disturb Joe who was now asleep with the tractor in one hand and the motorbike against his cheek."
There he is! Neddy Rocker and the start of his story too - You have met Joe and his Mum, and now Neddy. and just to keep you going, here is a little more...................
"Neddy loved being Joe's rocking horse and would not have changed this job for all the green grass in the world. Before this job, Neddy had been a race horse often winning but somehow never very happy. Being of a kind and loyal nature, he hadn't enjoyed racing against the other horses and was not sorry to depart this life when it was time to do so. Arriving at the Returns Department alongside many other animals (people queued up in another room so Neddy had been told) he already knew what he would like to come back to this life as, and when asked what kind of work he was looking for, he said very politely that he wished to return to work as a toy horse.
'" A toy horse!" thundered the voice of the Old Administrator, hunched over a huge leather bound book with columns and figures and writing in it."'
