It's a stinking hot day in the classroom and Julian has no imagination nor inclination to write a story for class teacher Miss Fizzwick.
Julian in the story is based on a real Year 5 student at a primary school who was expressing great difficulties in thinking of an idea for a story during my visit as an author. I discovered him busily drawing carnivorous plants!
