GALILEO THE GENIUS

Tap,tap,tap.
A knocking on my door can mean only one thing.
‘Come in Hiccup’, I called.
Hiccup rushed in as I sat typing.
‘Papa’, the little teddy-bear seemed breathless.
‘I have something to say!’
I’ll bet he does, I thought but desisted from actually saying it, so gave him time to collect his thoughts.
‘It’s nearly Christmas, Papa.’ he beamed.
I beamed back. ‘It certainly is Hiccup. You are very excited?
‘Oh Papa, I am. Also I can see that you have begun to work on a book about Galileo?’
It’s true, I have finally made it to writing the final Alphabetabears book about Galileo. It feels like a mountain climbed now that the series is nearly complete.
‘Has it been worthwhile, do you think Hiccup?’ I asked him.
‘Papa, it’s been amazing to sit for hours as you have drawn me; and just think back to all those adventures you made up about me.
‘Well Hiccup, I guess as we begin 2022, I will have to begin writing the other stories; perhaps one about Galileo on his own?’
‘Can I be in it too?’ Hiccup’s face had taken on a very sad look.
‘Yes Hiccup, I will make sure you are in it too.’
The sad-look disappeared and was replaced by one of ‘teddy-bear satisfaction’.
‘Thank you Papa. Happy Christmas.’
‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you too HICCUP’

Now look for the ‘G’ words in Galileo’s illustration.
