"Wake up! Wake up!"
"Can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?"
"Just wake up! Your fur is blue! I repeat, YOUR FUR IS BLUEEEEE!

I jumped out of bed with a jolt. I ran out of my house, to the sea to see my reflection. Blue. My fur coat was blue. I checked every single inch of my body. Blue. Blue again. I was blue all over. I was beyond happy. "My fur is blue! A marvellous cobalt blue! It's not a boring, plain white anymore, it's blue!" I was causing such a racket that animals started to come out of their homes to see what I was going on about. Hushed whispers surrounded me.

"Wow! Look at uncle Opal! He got blue fur!" Some children giggled. They ran up to me and started to touch my fur. "So... smooth....fur....."
"Okay children, time to go! Don't bother Mr. Opal anymore!"
"Kay kay mum."
