Nobody knew where So-me was.
So-me, where are you? called Mum.

She went into the lounge.
She could hear the grandfather clock
tick tock tick tock
but she couldn¹t hear So-me.

She listened for an answer
but all she could hear was
the leaking tap in the bathroom.
It went drip drip drip drip.

Sometimes So-me used to hide
in his wardrobe, so Mum quietly tiptoed
to the wardrobe doors
and flung them open.
But So-me wasn't there.


By this time So-me's father
had joined in the search.
He put his head out the window
and called, So-me

But all he could hear was a bee,
which buzzed close by his head.

"I'll see if he's in the hut," said his brother.
So-me and his brother had their very own hut
in the branches of a tree
at the back of the garden.

"So-me, Mum wants you,"
his brother called out
from underneath the hut.

There was no sound except for the wind
whispering in the leaves.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
So-me¹s brother climbed up
to make sure that nobody was there.

Nobody was inside,
but he could hear a fly
which was caught in a spider¹sweb.
It went buzz buzz bzzzzzzzzz

"Maybe he's playing with his friends
over in the park," said his sister.
She called, "So-me, come home."

When she listened for a reply,
all she could hear
was the echo of her voice,
which came back softly,
"So-me, come home."

.

Just then a police car drove past the house.
It's light was flashing and its siren went
WOooo.....ooo ooo......oooo oooo........ooooo ooo....
It seemed to be calling
So me So me So me So me

Mum and Dad were beginning
to get worried now.
"What will we do?" said Dad.
"Ring the police," said Mum.
All the family stood by the phone
and heard it ring
at the other end of the line.
Brrrrring Brrrrring Brrrrring

Then So-me's father saw a big toe
poking around the side of the sofa.
The toe was moving up and down.
Dad quickly put down the phone
before anyone had time to answer it.

Behind the toe was a leg.
Behind the leg was a body.

On top of the body was a head.
On top of the head was
a pair of headphones.

So-me looked at them with surprise.
His toe stopped tapping to the music.
Then he took off the headphones.
"What's the matter?"

"We have been looking for you
everywhere," they said.
"But I¹m not lost."
So-me put on his headphones
and went on listening to the music.
