    Penny Morris, the brave firefighter from Fireman Sam, was having a day off. She sat on her bed, her blonde hair tied back in a messy ponytail, her brown eyes filled with sadness. She was not in her usual uniform but was dressed in casual clothes, a stark reminder of her need to disconnect from work.
