SUMMERY The first section of our passage is about Lily wishing, wishing she was with Ella showing her her most precious items. In the next section Lily is writing under the lemon tree and Spike comes over with the possum rug. The possum rug isn't indestructible, it's stitches are coming loose, this reminds Lily of the story that Auntie Maisie had told her... THE PLAY   Spike bringing over the possum rug gave her reason to go over to the Riley's and she takes that chance at once. Aunty Maisie is pleased to see her but Ella and Danny aren't there. She gives Lily some of her Johnny cakes for her Dad as Lily tries to rush out the door after giving back the possum rug back. Lily goes back home but doesn't give the cakes to her Dad instead she hides them in the cupboard. She doesn't want him knowing that she had gone over to the Riley's.     Meanwhile Jake is dreaming about him and spike venturing to the end of Phantom Hill. Jake saves spike from the clutches of the purple dragon that lives in a cave at the end and wakes up. Lily invites him over to have the Johnny cakes.   Lily has a dream, she asks her Dad to go over the fence with her but he says that it's dangerous. She pulls him up anyway but when she looks back he's gone. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">  <span class="EC_578222405-10082008"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">The next day Dad goes away on business leaving Jake and Lily free to go over to the Riley's.   <span class="EC_578222405-10082008"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">   <span class="EC_578222405-10082008"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">The five of them: Lily, Jake, Ella, Danny and Spike go down to the river to look for some pebbles and Lily tells Ella about her love for writing ghost stories and Ella likes that.
