Key 
The box was by Chip’s bed. Something was
glowing inside it. Chip looked at 
the box.
“It’s magic,” he said. Chip ran into Biff’s room.
“Biff,” he 
called. “Look at the box.” Biff and
Chip looked at the box. Something was 
glowing
inside it. They opened the box. They looked
inside. “It’s magic,” 
they said. A key was in
the box. The key was glowing. “It’s a magic key,”
said Biff. She picked up the key and the magic
began. Biff and Chip got smaller 
and smaller
and smaller. “Oh help!” said Biff. “It’s magic,”
said Chip. 
Biff and Chip looked at the room.
Everything looked big. “Look at my big
slippers,” said Biff. “Everything looks big.”
Chip picked up a pencil. “Look

at this big pencil,” he
said. Biff picked up a pin. “Look at this big
pin,” 
she said. They looked at the house. It
looked like a big house. The windows 
were
glowing. “It’s magic,” said Chip. Biff and Chip
ran to the house. They 
looked in the window.
Biff went to the door. She pushed and pushed, but
she 
couldn’t get in. They went to the window.
Chip pulled and pulled, but he 
couldn’t get
in. Something was coming. Chip picked up the pin.
“Oh help!” 
he said. It was a little mouse.
Biff and Chip looked at the mouse. The mouse
ran away. Something was glowing. It was the
magic key. Biff picked it up. Biff 
and Chip
got bigger and bigger and bigger. “Oh no!” said
Biff. “Oh help!” 
said Chip. “It’s the magic,”
they said. The magic was over. “What an
adventure!” said Biff and Chip. 
5-2 Pirate Adventure 
Biff was looking at a
book. The book was about pirates. “I don’t like
pirates,” she said. Wilf and Wilma came to
play. They went to Biff’s room. 
They looked at
the little house. “It’s a magic house,” said Biff.
“Don’t 
be silly,” said Wilma. They looked at
the key. “It’s magic key,” said Chip. 
“Don’t
be silly,” said Wilf. The key began to glow. The
magic was working. 
“Oh help!” said Wilma. The
magic was working. The children got smaller and
smaller and smaller. “Oh no!” said Wilf. “Oh
help!” said Wilma. “We don’t 
like this,” they
said. They looked at the house. The windows were

“Children!” said the pirate. 
“Pirates!” said
the children. “Oh help!” they said. “Come on,”
said the 
pirates. The pirates had a boat. They
went to the pirate ship. “I don’t like
pirates,” said Biff. “Look at that pirate,”
said Biff. “Look at that big 
rope,” said Chip.
“I’m frightened,” said Wilf. “We wanted a party,”
said 
the pirate. “Nobody wanted to come. Will
you come to the party” The children 
went to
the party. It was a good party. “I like pirates,”
said Biff. The key 
was glowing. It was time to

dragons,” said Chip.

open,” said 
Biff. The magic was working. It
took the children inside. It took Floppy too.
It took them to a wood. Floppy didn’t like the
wood. He was frightened. Biff 
pulled Floppy.
“Come on,” she said. “Don’t be silly.” An owl flew
out of 
a tree. Floppy didn’t like the owl. He
ran away. Floppy ran out of the wood. 
“Come
back,” called Biff. “Come back,” called Chip. It
was no good. Floppy 
ran and ran. “Oh help!”
said Biff. The children looked for Floppy. They
called 
and called. “Floppy! Come back!” they
called. The children came to a tree. 
It was
called “The Dragon Tree”. A dragon lived under the
tree. The dragon 
had Floppy. He wanted Floppy
for supper. Floppy was frightened. “Oh no!” said

Biff. “What a
nasty dragon! I don’t like dragons!” Biff looked
at the 
dragon’s tail. She took off her belt.
She put it round the tail. Chip helped 
her.
Kipper went inside the tree. He pulled Floppy out.
Chip helped him. The 
dragon was cooking. It
didn’t see them. “Come on!” called Chip. They ran
and ran. The key was glowing. “The key is
glowing,” called Biff. “It’s time 
to go home.”
“What an adventure!” said Chip. “I don’t like
dragons,” said

children ran to see. “It’s Gran,” said Kipper.
“Come 
in,” said Mum. “Come in,” said Dad. The
children helped. They took Gran’s things.
“What a lot of things!” said Kipper. The
children liked Gran and Gran liked the

looks fun,” said Gran. “Come on, everyone.” The
children began to run. They wanted to go on
everything. “Come on, Gran,” they 
called.
“Look at this,” said Kipper. “It’s a castle. “It’s
called Jumping 
Castle.” The children went on
the Jumping Castle. “This is fun,” called Wilma.
The children jumped and jumped, and bounced
and bounced. “Come on, Gran,” they 
called.
Gran went on the castle. She jumped and bounced.
“Good old Gran,” called 
the children. Gran
made a hole in the castle. “Oh no!” said the
children. The 
castle began to go down. A man
ran up. He was cross with Gran. “Look at my
castle,” 
he yelled. “Go home,” yelled the man,
“and don’t come back.” Gran took the

children home. Biff
told Mum about the castle. Mum was cross with
Gran. Gran was 
sad. Gran was in Chip’s room.
She looked at the magic key. The key was glowing.

room. “Look at this,” she said. “Oh 
no!” said
Kipper. “It’s the magic. The magic is working.”
The magic took them 
to a new adventure.  
5-5 Castle Adventure 
The magic took them to a
castle. Three witches lived in the castle. They
were nasty 
witches. One was a black witch. One
was a red witch. One was a green witch. The
magic took the children inside the castle. It
took them to a room. A frog was in 
the room.
“I am a king,” said the frog. “I am the king of
this castle.” The 
witches turned me into a
frog. Help me,” he said. A witch was coming. It
was the 
black witch. “Look out!” said the
frog. The witch opened the door. Gran pushed
the witch. Chip took the witch’s keys. They
ran out of the room. Chip locked the 
door. The
witch couldn’t get out. Everyone ran. “Look out!”
called Chip. A witch 
was coming. It was the
red witch. “I don’t like witches,” said Gran. She
put 
a net over the witch. The witch couldn’t
get out. “Good old Gran,” called Biff. 
Gran
went to the green witch. “I don’t like witches,”
said Gran. “I don’t like 
nasty witches.” Gran
threw the witch on the floor. “Help!” yelled the
witch. 
“Good old Gran,” said the children.
Some frogs came in and jumped on the table.
One was the king. “Help us,” he said. Biff and
Gran looked in the witches’ book. 
The frogs
turned into people. “Thanks!” said the King. The
witches turned into 
frogs. Gran put the book
on the fire. “Oh no!” said the witches. The king
had 
a party. Everyone went to it. “What a good
party!” said Chip. “What an 
adventure!” said
Biff. “I like adventures,” said Gran. “Good old
Gran!” said 
everyone. The magic key was
glowing. “It’s time to go,” said Biff. “Goodbye,”
said the king. The magic took them back to
Biff’s room. They fell on to Biff’s

                          5-6 Village in the
Snow

told the children a story. The story was about a
village. The village was in 
the mountains.
Everyone liked the story. It was called The
Village in the Snow. 
The children went to
Biff’s room. They wanted an adventure. Biff picked
up the 
magic key. The key began to glow. “The
magic is working,” said Biff. The magic 
took
the children to the village in the snow. “It’s
lovely,” said Biff. Kipper

in the snow. They made a snowman and
put Kipper’s hat on top. They jumped in the

“Come on,”
said the big boys. The children threw snowballs at
the big boys. “Help!

Mum and Dad painted the kitchen. Dad painted
the ceiling. Mum painted the walls. 
Mum pulled
up the old carpet. “The walls look good,” she
said. “But this 
looks a mess.” Dad looked at
the floor. “We need a new carpet,” said Biff.
Mum found a trap door. She pulled it up.
Everyone looked. “It’s a caller,” 
said Dad.
Mum went into the cellar. “It looks big,” she
said. The children 
looked in. “It looks dark,”
said Biff. “It looks spooky,” said Chip. Dad
got light. They went into the cellar. Kipper
found an old sheet. “I’m a 
ghost,” he said.
“Whooooooooooooaa...!” “Look at this,” said
Kipper. 
“What is it” asked Chip. “I don’t
know,” said Mum. “It’s a whatsit,” 
said Dad.
Wilf and Wilma came to play. They looked at the
whatsit. “What is 
it” asked Wilma. “It’s a
whatsit,” said Chip. “We found it in the cellar.”
Two men came to the house. They came in a
lorry. They took away the old things. 
One man
looked at the whatsit. “What is it” he asked.
“It’s a whatsit,” 
said Dad. The men took the
whatsit. They put it in a lorry. A car stopped. A
lady jumped out and called to the men. “Stop!”
she said. The lady wanted the 
whatsit. She
wanted it for a museum. The men put it in the car.
The lady gave 
Dad some money. “Come to the
museum,” she said, “and bring the children.”
The whatsit was in the museum. Mum and Dad
went to see it. They took Biff, Chip 
and
Kipper. “So that’s what it is,” said Dad. Mum and
Dad had a surprise. 
It was for the children.
“What is it” asked Biff. “It’s a whatsit,” said
Dad. He pulled off the sheet. The whatsit was
a snooker table. “It’s 
brilliant!” they said.

Adventure 
The children were in the cellar.
They wanted to find a secret tunnel. The
children looked everywhere. They tapped on the
floor. They tapped on the walls. 
But there was
no secret tunnel. “It’s no good,” said Biff.
Kipper ran to

v1.0 可编辑可修改 
the
cellar. He had the magic key. The key was glowing.
They ran to Biff’s bedroom. 
“Come on!” called
Kipper. “It’s time for a magic adventure.” The
magic 
took them underground. They were in a
big tunnel. Wilma picked up a lamp. “Come 
on,”
she said. “Let’s go!” There were elves in the
tunnel. But they were 
shy. “Oh no!” they said.
“Children!” The children went down the tunnel.
They didn’t see the elves. “This way,” said
Wilma. The children came to a 
big cave. “Wow!”
said Biff. The elves looked at the children. “Oh
dear!” 
said the elves. “Oh dear! Oh dear!” The
cave had an echo. “Whoooooaa!” called 
Kipper.
“Whoooooaa!” went the echo. “Whoooooaa!” went
Kipper. The elves 
laughed. They laughed and
laughed. The elves came out. They ran to say
hello. 
“Whoooooaa!” they went. “Whoooooaa!”
went the echo. And everyone laughed. 
The elves
were sad. They had no work. “Can you help” said
the elves. “Our 
gold has run out. We don’t
know what to do.” Wilma had a good idea. She told
the elves what it was. The elves liked Wilma’s
idea. They painted some signs. 
The children
helped. The elves put light in the caves. The cave
looked beautiful. 
People came to see them. The
elves were happy. The elves were busy. “Thanks
to the children,” they said. The magic key
began to glow. It was time to go 
home. “What
an adventure!” said Wilf. “I have a good idea,”
said Chip. “What 
do you think” 
5-9 Vanishing Cream 
The children were at
school. They made a little theatre. They made it
out of a box. 
The children put on a play. The
play was about a wizard. He was called Wizard
Blot. 
Wizard Blot made mistakes. Wizard Blot
made a spell. The spell went wrong. “Oh 
dear!
Oh dear!” said Wizard Blot. Everyone laughed.
Everyone liked the play. Mrs. 
May liked Wizard
Blot. Biff was in her room. The key began to glow.
“Chip! Chip!” 
called Biff. Chip ran into
Biff’s bedroom. The magic took them inside the
little 
8 
v1.0 可编辑可修改 
house. The
magic took them to Wizard Blot’s house. The Wizard
wanted some help. 
“Come in!” said the Wizard.
“I wanted one helped, but two will do.” “Come in!”
said the Wizard. “You can wash up, then you
can tidy up.” Biff and Chip looked 
at the
mess. “Don’t be lazy,” said the Wizard, “Or I’ll
turn you into frogs.” 
Biff and Chip did the
washing up. “I don’t like this,” said Chip, “But I
don’t 
want to be a frog.” “I don’t like
ironing,” said Biff, “but we don’t want 
to be
frogs.” Oh no! Biff dropped a bottle. It was
vanishing cream. “Help!” said 
Biff. “This is
vanishing cream.” Chip looked at his hands. “Oh
no,” he said. 
“Bits of us are vanishing.” He
rubbed his face. “Oh no!” said Biff. “Your face
is vanishing.” A man came to the house. He
climbed through the window. The man 
didn’t see
Biff and Chip. He took all the Wizard computer
disks. “Help! Help!” 
said the man. “I’m being
attacked by the washing.” Wizard Blot came back.
Biff 
told him about the vanishing cream. Chip
gave Wizard Blot the computer disks. The
Wizard was pleased. It was time to go home.
“Thank you,” said Wizard Blot. “Do 
come
again.” Biff had a little bottle. “Don’t droop
it,” said Chip. “It’s 
vanishing cream.”
5-10 It’s Not Fair 
Mrs. May was ill. The
children had a new teacher. He was called Mr. Fry.
It was 
story time. The children sat in the
reading corner. Mr. Fry had a new story. The
story was about a king. He was called King
Arthur. “Here is King Arthur,” said 
Mr. Fry,
“and here are his knights. They lived a long time
ago.” King Arthur had 
a round table. All the
knights sat round it. They liked the round table.
The children 
did a project. The boys were
knights. “It’s not fair,” said Biff. Biff wanted
to be a knight. “It’s not fair,” she said.
“Why can’t girls be knights” Biff 
was in her
room. She wanted to go skateboarding. But the
magic key began to glow. 
“Oh blow!” said Biff.
“I wanted to go skateboarding.” The magic took
Biff to 
9 
v1.0 可编辑可修改 
King
Arthur’s castle. It put her in a dress. “Yuk!”
said Biff. “I wanted to 
be a knight. Knights
don’t wear dresses.” Biff was cross with the
magic. She saw 
some knights. “Can I be a
knight” she said. The knights laughed. “But you
are 
a girl,” they said. “Girls can’t be
knights.” Biff got on her skateboard. “You
couldn’t do that,” she said. “Now can I be a
knight” The knights were amazed. 
“We’ll have
to ask King Arthur,” said the knights. The knights
took Biff to King 
Arthur. “This is Biff,” they
said. “She wants to be a knight.” King Arthur
laughed. “Girls can’t be knights,” he said.
“Why not” asked Biff. King Arthur 
called a
meeting but the knights argued. No one wanted to
sit down. They all wanted 
to sit near King
Arthur. Biff had a good idea. She spoke to King
Arthur. “Get a 
round table,” she said. The
knights liked the round table. “It’s brilliant!”
they said. “Now we won’t argue.” The knights
sat round the table. “See!” said 
Biff. “Now
can I be a knight” But everyone laughed. “I’m
sorry,” said King 
Arthur, “but girls can’t be
knights.” The magic adventure was over. “It’s not
fair,” said Biff. “Girls are as good as boys.”
5-11The Great Race 
Gran wanted a new car.
Biff and Chip were sad. They liked Gran’s old car.
Gran 
liked this car. Biff was worried. The car
was too fast for Gran. Gran bought the 
fast
car. She drove it home. “Oh no!” said Dad. Mum was
cross with Gran. “That 
car is too fast,” she
said. Gran was upset. The magic key glowed. The
magic took 
Biff and Chip. It took Gran, too.
The magic took them to a race. “Come on,” said
Gran. “This is my new car.” “Oh Gran!” said
Biff. “What would Mum say” “Never 
mind Mum,”
said Gran. Gran found a map. They all looked at
it. A man looked at 
Gran. He was a bad man. He
was called the Baron. The children looked at the
Baron. 
The Baron looked at the children. “Ha!”
said the Baron. “You won’t win.” A 
man changed
the signpost. “Ha! Ha!” said the man. “Now the
Baron will win.” 
10 
v1.0 可编辑可修改
The map blew away. “Which way” asked Gran.
Chip didn’t know. They didn’t see 
the
signpost. Gran turned left. “Grrr!” said the man.
They came to the mountains. 
“Slow down,”
shouted Biff. “No. This is fun,” said Gran. The
Baron put oil on 
the road. “That will do it,”
he said. “That will stop them.” The car skidded
on the oil. It crashed through the fence and
went down the mountain. “Hold on,” 
shouted
Gran. “Oh no!” shouted Biff. “Oh help!” shouted
Chip. The Baron was 
behind. Gran was in front.
She was winning the race. Biff looked behind.
“Come 
on Gran,” she shouted. “Which way”
called Gran. Chip didn’t know. Gran turned 
on
to a bridge. The bridge was dangerous. “Not this
way!” called Chip. The bridge 
broke. The
Baron’s car crashed down into the river. Gran won
the race. “Hooray!” 
called Biff and Chip. The
magic key glowed. Gran took the fast car back. She
bought 
a little car. “This one will do,” she
said.  
5-12 A Monster Mistake 
Mum and Gran
went on holiday. They went to Scotland. They took
the children. They 
stayed in a cottage. The
cottage was by a lake. It had a boat. “I like it
here,” 
said Biff. “We can go sailing.” “And
fishing,” said Kipper. Everyone had a good
time. Biff and Kipper went fishing. Gran and
Chip painted a picture. Mum sat in 
the sun and
read a book. “This is fun,” she said. Everyone
looked at Gran’s 
picture. “Oh Gran!” said
Chip. She had painted a monster. Kipper looked at
the 
monster. Gran laughed. “There’s no such
thing,” she said. Mum went shopping. 
She took
Kipper. Biff and Chip stayed with Gran. Mum looked
at the shops. “Let’s 
get Dad a postcard,” she
said. Kipper went into a shop. “I want a monster
for 
me and a postcard for Dad,” he said.
Kipper posted the card to Dad. “I wish Dad 
was
here,” he said. Gran wanted to play a joke on Mum.
“Let’s make a monster,” 
she said. “I don’t get
it,” said Biff. “Wait and see,” said Gran. They
put 
the monster in the lake. It made the
children laugh. “It looks brilliant!” said 
11
v1.0 可编辑可修改 
Chip. “What a good
joke,” said Biff. “What a good joke to play on
Mum.” Mum 
and Kipper came back. Gran pulled
the rope. The monster went across the lake. “A
real monster,” said Kipper. “I don’t believe
it,” said Mum. “There’s no such 
thing.” Some
people saw Gran’s monster. They were amazed. They
took photographs. 
The children watched
television. “Gran’s monster!” said chip. “Oh no!”
groaned 
Biff. The next day lots of people
came. There were lots and lots and lots of people.
They wanted to see the monster. “Oh Gran!”
said Mum. “Now look what you’ve 
done.” Gran
told everyone about the monster. “It was just a
joke,” she said. 
A man from the television
came. Mum was cross with Gran but everyone
laughed. Gran 
was sorry. “A monster” she said.
“There is no such thing.” 
5-13 The New Baby 
Jo had some good news. She
was expecting a baby. “What good news!” said
everyone. 
Wilma’s mum found the old buggy. “Oh
look!” said Wilma’s dad. “Wilf had it 
when he
was a baby.” The buggy looked a bit scruffy. A
wheel had come off. “We 
can do it up,” said
Wilma’s mum. Wilma told Biff and Chip. “Jo is
expecting a 
baby,” she said. “What good news!”
said Chip. Biff and Chip went home. “Jo is
expecting a baby,” said Chip. “What good
news!” said Mum. Dad found the old cot. 
“Oh
look!” said Mum. “Kipper had it when he was a
baby.” The cot looked a bit 
scruffy. It needed
a new mattress. “We can do it up,” said Dad. Biff
and Chip 
told Kipper. “Jo is expecting a
baby,” they said. “That’s brilliant!” said
Kipper. Kipper found an old toy rabbit. It
looked a bit scruffy. “Can we do it 
up” he
asked. Kipper was in Miss Green’s class. He told
Miss Green about Jo’s 
baby. “How exciting!”
said Miss Green. Kipper looked puzzled. “When will
Jo’s 
baby come” he asked. Miss Green told the
children about babies. Mums and dads came 
to
school. They told the children about babies too.
Kipper played with the baby. 
He gave it a
rattle. The baby made a funny noise. The children
made a book. The 
12 
v1.0 可编辑可修改
book was about babies. Kipper gave Jo the
book. Biff and Chip gave Jo the cot. Jo 
was
pleased. Wilf wanted the baby to be a girl. Wilma
wanted it to be a boy so Wilf 
made a big
chart. “The baby is coming,” said Jo. “It’s time
to go.” “How 
exciting,” said Wilf. Wilma

5-15 Scarecrows
Biff and Chip had a little garden. They
planted seeds and they put in plants. The
birds liked the garden. They ate the seeds and
pecked the plants. Biff was cross. 
“Look at
the birds,” she said. “Go away! Go away!” Biff and
Chip had an idea. 
“Let’s make a scarecrow,”
they said. “What a good idea,” said Mum. They got
some old clothes and made the scarecrow’s
body. Mum helped them. Biff got a bag. 
Chip
painted a face on it. Mum made the scarecrow’s
hair. Chip wanted the scarecrow 
to be a boy.
He called it Fred. Biff wanted it to be a girl.
“All scarecrows are 
boys,” said Chip. The key
began to glow. The magic took them inside the
little 
house. The magic took them to a field.
The scarecrow came to life. “I’m alive!”
called Fred. Fred jumped in the air. “It’s
magic!” he called. There were some 
scarecrows
in the lane. Fred waved at them. Fred ran up to
the scarecrows. “Hello!” 
he called. “Where are
you going” A scarecrow pointed to a barn. “We’re
going 
to the barn dance. You can come too.”
Then the scarecrows looked at Biff and Chip.
“Oh dear! You can’t come.” Biff and Chip
weren’t scarecrows. They couldn’t 
go to the
dance but Fred had an idea. Fred made Biff and
Chip into scarecrows. They 
went to the dance.
The band began to play. “Come on,” called Fred.
“Let’s 
dance.” Biff began to dance with the
scarecrows. “This is fun,” called Chip. 
Biff
danced with Fred. Chip danced with Biff. They all
danced with the scarecrows.

“See!” said Biff. “There are girl
scarecrows. I told you so.” Suddenly, the 
key
glowed. It was time to go home. “Oh no!” said
Fred. The magic took them home. 
Biff and Chip
had an idea. “I didn’t know there were girl
scarecrows,” said Mum. 
“Well, there are,” said
Chip. 
                            5-16 Noah’s
Ark Adventure 
It rained and rained. It rained
all day long. The children were fed up. The
children 
went outside. They wanted to play but
it was too wet. Dad looked out of the window.
“Come inside,” he said. “It’s too wet to play
outside.” The children went to 
Biff’s room.
Suddenly, the key began to glow. It was time for a
magic adventure. 
“What a good job!” said
Kipper. “I want a magic adventure. I’m fed up with
all 
the rain.” The magic key took them into a
new adventure. But it was raining. “Oh 
no!”
said Kipper. “We don’t want an adventure in the
rain.” The children saw 
a boat. “What is it”
asked Kipper. “It’s Noah’s Ark,” said Biff. “Noah
has 
to put the animals on the Ark or they will
drown,” said Chip. “It’s raining so 
much,”
said Biff. “The water’s going to cover
everything.” “Don’t worry,” 
said Chip. “Noah
will save all the animals.” “Will he save us too”
asked Kipper. 
“Hello,” said Noah. “What do you
want Have you come to help” Noah looked at 
the
water. He pointed at the Ark. “I want some help,”
he said. The children looked 
at the animals.
“It is time to put the animals on to the Ark,”
said Noah. The 
animals went on to the Ark.
They went on in twos. First, Noah put the big
animals 
on. A man pushed the elephants. They
pulled the crocodiles up in a big net. A camel
didn’t want to go on to the Ark. They pushed
it and pulled it. “All the animals 
are on,”
said Noah. “It’s time to go. Please get on to the
Ark.” The children 
went on to the Ark. Noah
looked at Floppy. “Stop!” shouted Noah. “I’m
sorry,” 
said Noah. “We put two dogs on the
Ark. We can’t have three dogs.” The children
couldn’t leave Floppy. “Floppy can’t go on the
Ark, so we won’t go on it,” 
15

said Biff. The Ark sailed away. The
children floated in Noah’s big umbrella. 
“It’s
still raining,” said Biff. Just then, the magic
key began to glow. The 
magic took the children
home. “What an adventure!” said Biff. “Oh no!”
said 
Kipper. 
5-17 A New Classroom 
Some
people came to the school. They put a fence across
the playground. The children 
looked at the
fence. “What is it for” asked Wilf. Nobody knew. A
lorry came to 
the school. It had blocks on it.
“What are they for” asked Biff. Then a digger
came. The children were excited. Some men dug
a long trench across the playground. 
“What is
it for” everyone asked. It was time to go in but
the children didn’t 
want to. They liked the
digger. Mrs. May looked at the trench. “It’s for a
new 
classroom,” she said. The children were
excited. They wanted to find out about 
the new
classroom. The children looked at some books. Wilf
found a book about diggers. 
Chip painted a
picture of one. Mrs. may took children outside.
They talked about 
the digger. Mrs. May took a
photograph. Everyone looked at the blocks. “The
classroom will go on the blocks,” said Mrs.
may. Then a crane came to the school. 
The
children were excited. They looked at the driver.
“What is the crane for” 
asked Biff. “Wait and
see,” said Mrs. May. The children watched the
crane. It 
lifted the classroom over the wall.
Everyone watched the classroom. “Don’t drop
it,” called Chip. Biff looked at the
classroom. Something was wrong. “Mrs. May!
Mrs. May!” called Biff. “Don’t shout, Biff,”
said Mrs. May. The crane put the 
classroom
down. It put the classroom on the blocks. The
crane lifted the roof and 
put it on the
classroom. Something was wrong. “Mrs. may!” called
Biff. “Something 
is wrong.” “Don’t shout,
Biff,” said Mrs. May. Everyone gasped. The
classroom 
was upside down. “Oh dear!” said
Mrs. May. “I said something was wrong,” said
Biff. “But nobody would listen. The crane put
classroom the right way up. The 
16

children wanted to look
inside. The children went inside. Wilf saw a door.
“What’s 
in here” asked Wilf. Everyone gasped.
“Oh no!” said Wilf. 
5-18 Mum to the Rescue 
Mum and Dad went to a
car boot sale. They took the children. Mum looked
at a dinghy. 
She called Dad. Dad looked at the
dinghy. “What is it” asked Dad. “It’s a
dinghy,” said Mum. Mum wanted the dinghy. She
called the children. “Look at 
this,” she said.
The children looked at the dinghy. “What is it”
they asked. 
“It’s a dinghy,” said Mum. They
took the dinghy home. Dad pumped it up but it
went down again. Mum mended the dinghy. She
put a patch on it. The children helped. 
Dad
put the dinghy on the car. They took a picnic and
went to the river. Dad looked 
at the river. He
pointed at the weir. “The weir is dangerous,” he
said. Mum and 
Dad had a good idea. “Let’s put
everything in the dinghy. Everyone can help,”
they said. They found a good spot for the
picnic. The children paddled the dinghy. 
It
was time for the picnic. Mum and Dad put the rug
down and got the picnic out. 
Floppy ran out of
the water. He shook water over Dad. “Go away,
Floppy!” said 
Dad. The river was busy. Biff
and Chip watched the boats go by. Biff liked the
big 
boats. “I wish we could go on a big boat,”
she said. It was time to go home. “What 
a good
day!” said Dad. “It was a good picnic.” “Look!”
said Biff. “There is 
nobody on that boat.” “My
boat is in danger,” called a lady. “Help! Get my
boat!” Mum put the dinghy in the river. She
paddled to the boat. “Be careful,” 
called
everyone. Mum climbed on to the boat. She started
the engine. She was just 
in time. Mum brought
the boat back. “Hooray!” everyone shouted. “Mum to
the 
rescue!” said Kipper. Dad let go of the
dinghy rope. The dinghy went over the weir.
“Oh no!” said everyone. The lady had an idea.
“I will lend you my boat to say 
thank you,”
she said. The family had a holiday on the boat.
“Thanks to the 
dinghy,” said Mum.

5-19 Sleeping Beauty 
The children went pick
blackberries. There were lots of blackberries. The
bushes 
had thorns. “Mind the thorns,” called
Wilma. “Ow!” said Chip. “The thorns are
sharp.” Wilma saw some big blackberries. She
had some thick gloves and some 
clippers. Wilma
put on the thick gloves. She cut the stems with
the clippers. The 
children went home. They ate
some blackberries. “Yuk! This isn’t ripe,” said
Biff. Biff picked up the magic key. It began
to glow. “The magic is working,” 
said Biff.
The magic took them to a castle. “Wow! Look at
these thorns,” said 
Kipper. A man was stuck in
the thorns. “Ow! Help!” he called. “I can’t get
free.” Wilma put on the gloves. She got the
clippers. Then she cut the man free. 
“Thanks,”
said the man. “I wanted to get to the castle, but
I got stuck in the 
thorns.” “I am a prince,”
said the man. “I need to get in the castle. There
is a princess in there.” “We can help,” said
Wilma. “We can lend you these 
clippers.” The
thorns were sharp but the prince cut a way in.
“Mind the thorns,” 
he called. At last, they
got to the castle. The prince pushed the door
open. They 
went inside the castle. Everyone
was fast asleep. There was dust on everything.
“Yuk!” said Kipper. “Look at the cobwebs.”
There were cobwebs everywhere. There 
were even
cobwebs on the people. At last, they found the
princess. She was fast 
asleep. “Now what do I
do” said the prince. “You kiss the princess,” said
Kipper. 
“Then she wakes up. Everyone knows
that!” The prince kissed the princess. “Yuk,”
said Chip. The princess woke up. “At last!”
said the princess. Everyone in the 
castle woke
up. The magic key glowed. “Time to go,” said Biff.
“The prince 
doesn’t need us now.” The magic
adventure was over. Dad was fast asleep. “He’s
no Sleeping Beauty!” said Biff.  
5-20 The Adventure Park 
The children went to
an adventure park. They were excited. They all
wanted to go 
18 
v1.0 可编辑可修改 
on
the Treetop Adventure. “This looks exciting,” said
Chip. Chip put on a harness. 
The harness had a
clip at the front. Chip went across the log
bridge. “Come on, 
Biff,” he called. “You can’t
fall off.” Biff began to go across the bridge.
“This is exciting,” she said. Kipper went on
the rope runway. “Off you go!” 
said Mum. “Here
I come,” called Kipper. He went down fast. “I want
to go next,” 
said Biff. Biff and Dad went in a
red canoe. “Come on!” called Biff. “You won’t
fall in!” Mum, Chip and Kipper went in a green
canoe. They went across the lake. 
It was fun
in the canoes. Chip saw a big bird in the sky.
“Look at that big bird,” 
he said. “What do you
think it is” It was time for a barbecue. They all
helped 
to bring the food. Dad lit the
barbecue. “I am hungry,” said Kipper. “It won’t
be long,” said Dad. They all sat at the table.
Dad was busy. There was a lot to 
cook. “This
looks good,” said Dad. “Look at this chicken leg!
What a good cook 
l am!” A big bird swooped
down. It had straps on its legs. It took the
chicken 
leg from Dad’s hand. The bird flew
back into a tree. It began to eat the chicken
leg. The bird sat in the tree. Everyone looked
up at it. “It must be hungry,” 
said Biff. Dad
got his mobile phone. “A bird has escaped,” he
said. A woman came 
to catch the bird. It flew
down and landed on her arm. “This bird is called a
falcon,” said the woman. “It took Dad’s
chicken leg!” said Biff. The woman took 
the
falcon home. Everyone went with her. They looked
at all the birds. “What 
beautiful birds,” said
Chip. They went back but the chicken legs were
burnt. “I’m 
still hungry!” said Kipper.  
5-21 Kipper and the Trolls 
Mum was going to
make a cake. She wanted Kipper to help. First Mum
gave Kipper an 
apron. Then she looked at his
hands. “What dirty hands!” said Mum. Mum looked
at Kipper’s nails. Kipper’s nails were long.
“Let me cut them,” said Mum. Kipper 
made a
fuss. He didn’t want Mum to cut his nails. He
didn’t want to wash his hands. 
19

“I must cut your
nails,” said Mum. “No! No! No!” said Kipper and he
ran out 
of the room. Kipper ran into Biff’s
room. Biff looked at Kipper’s long dirty nails.
“Yuk!” said Biff. “You look like a troll.”
“It’s not fair,” said Kipper. 
But then the key
began to glow. It was time for a magic adventure.
The magic took 
them to a stream. There was a
bridge over the stream. Biff wanted to cross the
bridge. 
“We can pick the flowers over there,”
she said. “Come on!” Kipper ran after 
Biff.
But there were trolls under the bridge. Suddenly
the trolls jumped out. “Oh 
no!” said Kipper.
“Trolls can be nasty.” “Hip, hip, hooray!” sang
the trolls. 
“This is the trolls bridge. Do
come across.” “Will you eat us up” said Kipper.
“No! No! We will not,” sang the trolls. “We
are not nasty,” said a troll. “We 
just look
nasty.” “Nobody liked us,” said a troll. “We want
to have a party 
but nobody wants to come.” The
trolls went under the bridge. They got the party
food and set out the party. “Tuck in,” said a
troll. The trolls had long dirty 
nails. “Yuk!”
said Kipper. “Look at her long, dirty nails.”
“Look at the troll 
food,” said Biff. “Have a
slug bun,” said a troll,” or some slime jelly.”
“Have 
a mud mint,” said another troll. “Mud
mints are yummy.” “Yuk!” said Biff. Have 
some
bug pie,” said a troll. “Yuk!” said Kipper. “Look
at his hands.” Suddenly 
the key began to glow.
The adventure was over. “At last,” said Kipper.
The magic 
took them home. Kipper washed his
hands. Then he went to get his nails cut. “I’m
not a troll,” said Kipper. “Trolls have dirty
hands and long nails! Yuk!”   
5-22 Safari Adventure  
Chip and Wilf were
tracking Dad. “This is a good game,” said Wilf.
“Put this 
in your hat,” said Chip. “Dad won’t
see us. Then we can track him.” Chip and 
Wilf
hid in the trees. “Keep down,” said Chip. “Here
comes Dad.” Dad went past. 
He looked for the
boys, but he couldn’t see them. Floppy went sniff,
sniff, sniff! 
“Go away, Floppy!” said Chip,
but Floppy wouldn’t go. Chip and Wilf went home.

They looked for
Biff but she was not there. The key began to glow.
It took Chip 
and Wilf into a magic adventure.
The magic took them to Africa. Some Zebra were
going to dirty at a pool. Chip and Wilf looked
around. “A herd of zebra!” said 
Wilf. “Don’t
let them see us!” Chip saw a lorry by a tree. Some
men got out. 
They began to creep up to the
zebra. “What do they want” said Wilf. “Oh no!”
said Wilf. “They are going to catch a zebra.”
“We must stop them,” said Chip. 
He had an
idea. “Come on,” he said. The boys ran to the
lorry. Chip pressed the 
horn. “Beeeeeeep!” it
went. “Beeeeeeeep!” went the horn again. The zebra
looked 
up. The horn scared the zebra. They ran
away. The men were scared, too. They ran 
back
to the lorry. “Quick! Let’s go,” one called.
“Quick, Wilf,” said Chip. 
“Run!” They ran
away. Chip and Wilf hid in a bush. They didn’t
want the men to 
see them. The men couldn’t
start the lorry. Suddenly a jeep drove up. There
were 
rangers in the jeep. The men jumped out
of the lorry and ran away. The rangers chased
after them. A ranger shook Chip’s hand. “Thank
you,” he said. “You saved a 
zebra.” The magic
key began to glow. It was time to go. It had been
an exciting 
adventure. “Why wouldn’t the lorry
start” asked Wilf. “Ha! Took the key!” said
Chip. 
5-23 Dad’s Run  
Dad went running. Floppy went
with him. Dad went running every day. “I want to
get fit,” he said. Biff and Chip went Dad.
They went on bikes. “Keep going, Dad,” 
said
Biff. Dad had an idea. He wanted to do the Fun
Run. “What a good idea,” said 
Mum. “But it’s a
long way to run!” Biff and Chip told everyone.
“Dad is going 
to do a Fun Run,” said Biff.
“It’s to help children in Need,” said Chip. “Will
you sponsor Dad” It was the day of the Fun
Run. They all went to the park. “It’s 
a long
way to run,” said Chip. “Go!” called a man and the
Fun Run began. “Go 
on, Dad!” called Kipper.
The Fun Run went around the park. “Ten times round
the 
21 
v1.0 可编辑可修改 
park,” said
Dad. “It’s a long way to run. Dad ran well. He ran
round the park 
four times. There was still a
long way to go. Oh no! Dad’s foot went into a
hole. 
Dad fell down. “Ouch!” said Dad. “My
foot!” A man looked at Dad’s foot. “You 
must
rest it,” he said. “You can’t run on it.” Dad
couldn’t finish the Fun 
Run. “What bad luck!”
said Mum. “Poor old Dad!” Dad was upset. “Oh no!”
he 
said. “Now I can’t help children in Need.”
Wilf had an idea. “We can push you 
in the old
pram,” he said. Wilf and his mum ran home. They
got the old pram and 
ran back with it. “Come
on, Dad,” said Chip. “Get in the pram.” “We will
all 
push you,” said Mum. Dad sat in the pram.
They pushed him round the park. 
“Hooray!”
everyone called. “It’s not far now!” “But it’s a
long way to push 
a pram,” said Mum. “Keep
going!” said Dad. It was the end of the run. The
wheels 
came off the pram. Dad fell out. “What
a way to end the run,” said Dad. “But 
thank
you for pushing me.” “That was a fun run,” said
Kipper. “But it was a 
long way to push a dad!”
                              5-24 Drawing
Adventure 
Wilma had a lot drawings. They were
all pictures of girls. “I like drawing
clothes,” Wilma said. Biff looked at Wilma’s
pictures. “They are good,” she 
said. Chip was
painting a picture. He was painting a volcano.
Wilma moved her leg. 
She kicked Chip’s water
over. “Whoops!” said Wilma. “Sorry.” The water ran
over Chip’s picture. Chip was cross. “My
picture is a mess now!” he said. Chip 
flicked
paint over Wilma’s picture. “Your drawings are
silly,” he said. Biff 
told Chip to say sorry.
Chip was too cross to say sorry. He flicked paint
at Wilma. 
Then the key began to glow. The
magic took them to a volcano. It looked like
Chip’s 
painting. But where was Chip “Look at
those girls,” gasped Wilma. “They look 
like
the ones in my drawings. Look at their clothes.”
The girls called to Wilma. 
“Do you like my
top” said a girl. “Do you like my boots” Suddenly,
the volcano 
22 
v1.0 可编辑可修改
began to spit out blobs of red paint. Splat! A
big blob landed by Biff. “Come on! 
Run!”
yelled Biff. “Run! Or the volcano will get us.” “I
can’t run in these 
boots,” said a girl. “Run!”
yelled Wilma. “We can’t,” said a girl. “I can’t
run in this dress!” Splat! Red blobs landed
everywhere. “It’s red paint!” said 
Biff.
Splat! A red blob hit a girl. Red paint began to
gush out of the volcano. 
It looked like a big,
red river. Wilma had an idea. She began to draw
jeans and 
tops. Biff helped her. “Quick! Put
these on,” said Wilma. “Oh! We like these,”
said the girls. “Now run!” called Wilma. They
all ran. Chip was in the paint river. 
“Help!
Help!” he called. “Get me out!” Biff and Wilma saw
Chip. “Stop!” they 
called. “We must get him
out.” Wilma had an idea. She drew a long rope.
“Hold 
on, Chip,” she called. They pulled Chip
out. “I’m glad this is only paint and 
not a
real volcano,” said Biff. “Phew!” said Chip. “Am I
glad you pulled me 
out!” The magic key began
to glow. “Now are you sorry, Chip” said Biff. Chip
had a blob of paint on him. “I am,” he said.
“Sorry!”
