Welcome back to the river. I am Niamh, this is Pip and the Paper Boat, and this is chapter two. If you missed chapter one, do not worry, I will remind you. Pip is a field mouse. Pip found a paper boat with a note inside that said Come quickly. And Pip, who had never been anywhere, climbed in and let go. That was last Monday. Tonight the river has gone slow and wide and very, very quiet. The water is dark like tea. And standing in the middle of it, on one long leg, as still as a fence post, is a heron. Herons eat fish. Do herons eat mice? Pip does not know. Neither do I, yet. Settle down, breathe slowly, and let us drift into the heron's pool together. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts, and the boat is already moving.
