The Magical Noodle (Meditative Bedtime Story)

This is a bedtime story for grown ups about a pig who is building a house in a meadow. He had previously built a house out of straw, which blew down, then one out of wood, which burnt down, and now he is building a house out of brick. He is building it entirely himself. He starts building in spring and continues through to the next spring. While building, he lives in a yurt next to where he is building. He finds the process of building, and his thoughts whilst building therapeutic, as he works through difficult past experiences and finds symbolism in the strong foundations of this house and the growth of a new home. After building this new home he feels lost, like he doesn't know what to do with himself now he no longer has a project or something to occupy him. He then meets a curious Llama wearing a polka dot blazer, with cherry earrings and a purple Mohican hair style. The Llama hands him magic glasses. With these glasses, he sees a turtle. He follows the turtle to an oak tree, steps through a portal in the oak tree and meets an eight-legged furry creature named Noodle. He is told a crow will deliver missions to him. The coordinates and details delivered will be programmed into the glasses. He will pass through the tree portal to different points in space and time to put right, things which have gone wrong. The pig accepts this and does his first mission - recovering a magical floating book from a cabin in a dome under the sea. After the mission he heads home, writes his experiences in his 'A Pig's Tale' journal and settles down peacefully in his bed, drifting asleep into Slumberland.
