Long Walk

Frank was a garden gnome. For years he stood in the corner of the garden, watching time pass by. Frank gets on with the birds that visit his garden and listens to descriptions of their adventures. He doesn't like the cheeky sparrows however, as they tease him for never leaving the garden. Then one day Frank does something extraordinary. He starts walking. Frank walks through rain and sun, up hills and down mountains, through deserts and across beaches. He sees some incredible places and has many adventures. Then, a little older and wiser, Frank returns to the garden. Now it is his turn to share stories with the birds, fascinating them with stories from his own amazing journey.
