Am I a Nincompoop?
Am I a Nincompoop? (A Sequel to So, What is a Flibberty Gibbit?) by Belinda Flack The day after Jake and Jimmy returned from the woods, Jake excitedly told his friends, the other elves, all about how Brian showed him how to use nonsense words to help him feel better. They didn’t understand what Jake was trying to tell them because none of them knew exactly what anxiety was, most of them said that they’d never even heard of it before.

But only if I can wear my nice new red wellies and, oh yes, if Jake comes too”. Jake was a very sensible elf. He always turned up to work not a minute late nor a minute early. He always ate his lunch on time and made sure that his shoe laces were tied neatly together. He had lovely manners and never left crumbs lying on the lunch table after gobbling up his Mother’s delicious gingerbread pie. When Jake heard what Jimmy said he stopped and stared and just gulped with fear. His eyes became very large and very round. It seemed that he was pinned down on the very spot. You see Jake didn’t like going out when it was dark, he’d heard that there were hungry foxes and hares that came out at night looking for little elves to eat…
