Sally and the Limpet
When Sally pulls a limpet off a rock at the beach, it sticks to her finger -
and nothing she or her family or her friends do can unstick it.
Sally’s teacher says that limpets live for twenty years. So will Sally ever get the limpet off her finger?

Simon’s Comments
“I was at Wembury beach with my friend Sally, when we came across a little girl trying to pull
limpets off the rocks. Sally found one lying on the sand, she gave it to the little girl.
The limpet suddenly made a funny squelching noise, it made the girl jump, and she dropped it.
Later, I found out some amazing facts about limpets, it was then that I knew I had a new story.”
