SAVE OUR JACK!
5

• Once upon a time there was a Union Jack who was
  proud to fly on top of Buckingham Palace when the
  queen was at home.

6

• Jack was a very unusual flag.
• When he saw good things happening below him his
  colour would brighten, but when things were going
  wrong, he would start to fade!

7
Usually when he looked down on the people in the
streets of London, he saw that they were happy.
8

• Then one day things began to change.
• It all started when he noticed someone stealing
  money from a womans purse

Jack began to fade
10
A little while later he saw someone kicking a dog

Jack faded still further!
12
Then he saw somebody getting thumped on the
nose for no reason at all, except that the
person who did it felt angry!
13
Jacks colour was draining away!
14
But things got worse, until everyone seemed to
be arguing and fighting!
15
By now Jack had become almost colourless!

  in Britain
