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 glowing. Biff went to the door.
She put the key in the lock.
She opened the
door. The children went inside the house. “It’s a
magic house,” they said.
“Look at the sand,”
said Biff. “Look at the sea,” said Chip. “Come
on,” they said. They ran to
the sea. Wilf
picked up a shell. Chip picked up a coconut. Biff
climbed up a tree. Wilma went
in the sea.
“This is magic,” they said. They played on the
sand. They played in the sea.
“What an
adventure!” said Biff. A pirate came up. He looked
at the children. “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 go. “Goodbye,” said Chip. “Thank you
for the party.” “Oh no!” said
the pirates.
“What an adventure!” said Wilma. “I liked the
pirates,” said Biff. Wilf looked at
the little
hat.
5-3 The Dragon Tree
Kipper was
looking at a book. The book was about a dragon.
Kipper couldn’t read the story.
Biff didn’t
want to read it. She didn’t like dragons. Kipper
went into Chip’s room. Chip read
the story. “I
like dragons,” said Chip. Something was glowing.
It was the magic key. “Oh no!”
said Chip. Chip
picked up the box. He ran into Biff’s room. “The
magic is working,” he said.
Biff picked up the
key. They looked at the magic house. “The door is
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 Biff.
5-4 Gran
A car came to the house.
The 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 children. “Come and
see my toys,” said Kipper.
“Come and see my
room,” said Biff. “Come and play,” said Chip. Gran
played with the children.
They played inside.
“Oh no!” said Mum. They went outside and played
football. “Oh no!” said
Dad. Gran took the
children out. They went in Gran’s old car. Wilf
and Wilma went too. “What
an old car!” said
Wilf. “It’s a good car,” said Gran. Gran took them
to the fun park. “This 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.
Gran picked up the key and ran
into Biff’s 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 bed. “Oh no!” said Mum.
5-6 Village in the Snow
The children were at
school. It was playtime. “Come in,” called Mrs.
May. Mrs. May 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 jumped
in the snow. “I like the snow,” he called.
“This is fun.” They played in the snow. They made
a
snowman and put Kipper’s hat on top. They
jumped in the snow. They threw snowballs. “Look,”
said Wilma. They saw a little boy. The boy was
pulling a toboggan. Some big boys ran up. They
pushed the little boy over. They pushed the
toboggan over and they ran away. The children ran
up. They helped the little boy. Kipper picked

boys. Kipper was cross. Kipper put on the
little boy’s hat. He put on his coat. “Come on,”
he
called. The big boys looked at Kipper.
Kipper looked like the little boy. “Come on,” said
the big
boys. The children threw snowballs at
the big boys. “Help! Help!” yelled the big boys.
The big
boys ran away. The little boy jumped

“Come on,” she said. The
magic took the
children home. “What an adventure!” said Chip.
5-7 The Whatsit
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.
5-8
Underground 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 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

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 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 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.” 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 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 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 called her mum. “Jo’s baby is
coming,” she called. “How exciting!”
said
Wilma’s mum. Jo went to the hospital. She went in
the car. “Good luck,” called Wilma’s
mum. Jo
was in hospital. She had a baby girl. “She is
called Vicky,” said Jo. Jo brought Vicky
home.
Everyone wanted to see the new baby. Jo looked at
Kipper. “You know about babies,” she
said. “Do you want to help?” Kipper
looked at Vicky. “No, thank you,” said Kipper.

Mum and Dad went camping. They took
children. They went to a farm. Mum and Dad had a
new
tent. They put it up. Wilf helped. Wilma
got some water. “I like it here,” she said. “I
like
camping.” Mr. Jones was the farmer. He
had to milk the cows. “Come and watch,” he said.
“What
a lot of cows!” said Wilf. Mr. Jones
laughed. “We milk them every day,” he said. Mum

some milk. She went to the farmhouse.
“I want some eggs too,” said Mum. Mrs. Jones was
expecting a baby. She was expecting it soon.
“It may come today,” she said. Dad cooked supper.

He called the hospital. “A helicopter’s coming,”
he
said. Mr. Jones pointed to a field. “The
helicopter can land there,” he said. Mr. Jones got
some
bags. The children helped. They got some
big stones. They made a big cross out of the bags.
They put stones on the bags. The helicopter
came. It landed near the cross. “At last!” said
Mr.
Jones. There was a doctor in the

ran to the
house but Mum came to the door. She
was laughing. “Too late!” said Mum. “Mrs. Jones
has had
the baby. She’s had a baby boy.”
Everyone looked at the baby. “He’s very sweet,”
said Wilma.
“Will he like camping?”
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,” 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 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 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. “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
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
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!”
