Wilf came to play with Chip. They made a rocket ship out of bits and pieces. The rocket ship looked quite good. Wilf and Chip played in the rocket ship. They pretended to be spacemen. “The rocket is going to take off,” said Wilf. “Five…four…three…two…” Floppy ran up. He wanted to get in the rocket ship wit h Wilf and Chip. “Go away, Floppy,” called Chip. “The rocket is going to take off!” Nadim came to play. He had his computer with him, but he liked the look of the rocket ship. He wanted to play in it too. Just then, it began to rain. “There’s not room for all of us,” said Chip. “Let’s go inside and play with Nadim’s computer.” They played a game on the computer. It was called Red Planet. They had to land a rocket on the planet. Wilf and chip crashed the rocket. Nadim didn’t. he was good at the game. Suddenl y, the magic key began to glow. Chip and Wilf pulled Nadim away from the computer and ran into Biff’s room. “Come on,” called Chip. “It’s time for an adventure.” The magic took them to a rocket ship. It took Floppy too. The rocket looked as if it was about to take off, but the door was open. Nadim wanted to look inside the rocket. “Come on,” he called. Chip didn’t want to go inside. “It may not be safe,” he said. “Why not?” said Nadim. “This is a magic adventure.” They went inside the rocket. There was nobody there. “Look at this computer,” said Nadim. Floppy jumped up and put his paw on a button. Five…four…three…two…one. The rocket began to take off. Up it went and out into space. “Oh no!” said Chip. “I don’t know where we’re going.” They began to float abo ut inside the rocket. Nadim found some boots. He put them on. “We must put these boots on,” he said. “They will keep us down on the floor.” They went to the window and looked out. They saw a big red planet. “We are going to land on that planet,” said Nadim. “We will soon be there.” Nadim made the rocket land. “I wouldn’t like to do that again,” he said. “It’s a good job Nadim knows about computers,” thought Wilf. “I wouldn’t like to crash here.” There was red dust all over the planet. There were red rocks a nd red mountains. Floppy didn’t like the look of it. He began to bark and bark. “There

are no trees,” he thought. They wanted to go outside and look at the planet. They found a space buggy. They looked in the space buggy and found some spacesuits. “Let’s put these spacesuits on,” said Wilf. “Then we can go outside.” “Do you think it will be safe outside?” asked Chip. “I don’t know,” said Wilf. They went out on the planet in the buggy. The buggy bumped over the rocks and the red dust flew up. “I don’t like this,” thought Floppy. “I’m not made for space adventures.” Suddenly the ground cracked and a big hole opened up. “Oh help,” said Chip, Wilf, and Nadim as the buggy fell into the hole. They fell down and down inside the planet. “I don’t like this,” thought Floppy. “I want to go home.” They all landed with a bump. The buggy landed with a crash and broke in two. They were inside a big cave. “What a place!” said Wilf. “Look at it.” Chip looked at the buggy. “It’s broken,” he said. “It’s had it!” “How will we get back to the rocket?” Floppy began to bark. There were some creatures in the cave. They looked like funny little people. “Oh no!” said Nadim. “Look at them! I hope they like us.” The creatures looked at the boys. They climbed on the broken buggy and pulle d out a spacesuit. One of them turned a tap on Floppy’s spacesuit. Floppy’s spacesuit began to fill with air. It got bigger and bigger. Then Floppy began to float. “Get Floppy!” yelled Chip. “Don’t let him float away!” Wilf asked the creatures hoe to get o ut of the cave. They told him that there was no way out. They said that they had never been outside. Wilf had a good idea. He took a spacesuit out and he filled it with air. The spacesuit got bigger and bigger. It began to float up and up. “Hold on,” called Wilf, “and don’t let go!” The spacesuit floated up out of the cave. “We can float back to the rocket,” said Chip. “What a good idea!” “I hope it won’t go pop,” thought Floppy. They floated back to the rocket. Wilf let the air out of the spacesuit and it came down to the ground. “Good old Wilf!” said Nadim. “I don’t like floating,” thought Floppy. They went inside the rocket and it took off. Nadim turned on the computer and looked at the screen. “We’ll soon be home,” he said. Just then the magic key began to glow. “That’s good,” thought Floppy. “They won’t have to land the rocket. Dogs don’t like space adventures.” The magic took them back home. “I liked that adventure,” said Wilf. He looked at the little spacesuit. “So did I,” said Nadim, “but I’m glad I didn’t have to land that rocket again.”

7-2 Lost in the Jungle

The next day was Mum’s birthday. Chip had a box of chocolates for her. Kipper had made her a monkey at school. Biff didn’t know what to get. Biff asked Anneena’s mum to help her buy a plant. T hey went into a big greenhouse. The greenhouse was hot, and it was full of plants. “What a lot of plants!” said Biff. “It’s like a jungle in here. I don’t know which one to buy.” In the end, she found one that she liked. “I’ll get this one for Mum,” she said. The next day was Mum’s birthday and the children gave her their presents. Mum liked them all. “Thank you,” she said. “What a lovely plant, Biff!” Dad had a present for Mum. It was a plant. “I didn’t know Biff had a plant as well,” said Dad. “I don’t mind a bit,” said Mum. Anneena came to play with Biff and Chip. “This is from my mum,” she said. Wilma’s mum came round with a plant too. “Thank you,” said Mum. “I love plants. It’s quite like a jungle in here.” The children went to play in Biff’s room. Anne na looked at the little house. “Can we have a magic adventure?” she asked. “We can if the key glows,” said Kipper. Just then the key did began to glow. The magic took them into a jungle. The jungle was full of plants. “It’s wonderful,” said Biff. “Look at that one; it’s ten times bigger than the one I

gave Mum.” They saw a monkey up a tree. It jumped up and down on the branch. “That monkey looks cross,” said Kipper. “I don’t think it likes us.” “It looks like you,” said Chip. The monkey was angry with the c hildren. It shook the branch. Then it began to throw things at them. “We can’t stay here,” said Biff. “Come on.” They ran through the jungle, but suddenly Chip stopped. “Oh no!” he said. “Look at this.” There was a big snake in the way. “We can’t go this way,” said Chip. “Come on.” They came to a river. There were alligators asleep on the bank. “Don’t wake them up,” said Kipper. “They might get angry.” “They might like you for dinner,” said Biff. Suddenly they fell into a big bet. It pulled them up in the a ir. “Oh help!” called Anneena. “We’re in a trap.” The children were hanging in the net. The net was a trap to catch animals. “Help! Help!” called the children. “Let us down!” called Kipper. A man and a lady came out of the trees. They were explorers. “Don’t worry,” said the lady, “we’ll soon get you down.” “What are you doing in the jungle?” asked the man. “Are you lost?” “Yes,” said Biff. “I think we are.” “So are we,” said the lady, “but then we have been lost for years.” She showed them a picture. “We are looking for this place,” she said. “It’s called the Lost City. Nobody lives there. It’s been lost for years and years.” The children liked the explorers. They wanted to help them find the Lost City. “Maybe we can find it today,” said Kipper. “I don’t think so,” said the man. “We have been looking for years.” They came to a rope bridge. “Maybe the Lost City is over there,” said Biff. “Let’s go and see.” They began to cross the bridge. “I hope it’s safe,” said Kipper. They found a boat on the bank of the ri ver. The boat was full of water. “Oh good!” said the explorers. “We lost this boat years ago.” They got in the boat and paddled up the river. “Look at all the alligators!” said Chip. “I hope it’s not their dinner time.” They came to a waterfall. The explor er could not stop the boat. The paddle had broken. “Look out!” he called. “We’re going to get wet.” The boat went through the waterfall. “Oh help,” said Anneena, “I don’t like getting wet.” “Think of the alligators,” said Chip. “It’s better than getting ea ten!” Behind the waterfall there were some steps. The steps went up and up for a long way. Nobody could see how far they went. “This may be the way to the Lost City,” said the lady. “Come on.” As they climbed the steps, some bats flew past them. “If this i s the way to the city, I can see how it got lost,” said Anneena. “It’s such a long way up.” “It’s the Lost City!” shouted the explorers. “We have found it at last.” The man threw his hat in the air and his wife jumped up and down. ‘I knew we’d find it today,” said Kipper. Nobody had been in the city for years. There were plants and trees everywhere. Biff pulled a plant out of a wall. “This is like the one I gave Mum,” she said. They went to a big building and they opened the doors. “Oh look!” they all gasped. Everything inside the building was made of gold. The floor was gold and the walls were gold. There were some gold steps that went up to a gold throne. “What a wonderful place!” said Anneena. “There’s gold everywhere.” Kipper sat on the gold throne. A mo nkey jumped down behind him. “Look at me!” he said. “Look at that monkey behind Kipper,” said Biff. “Which one is the monkey?” asked Chip. Suddenly, the key began to glow. “It’s time to go home,” said Chip. “Goodbye,” said the explorers. “Thank you for helping us find the Lost City.” “I wish we had a magic key,” said the man. The magic took the children home. Biff still had the plant she found in the Lost City. “I’ll put it in Mum’s jungle,” she said. “I know where we can get a monkey too.”

7-3 The Broken Roof

It was games time at school. The children were outside on the field. Anneena ran up to Mrs May. “Come and see something, Mrs May,” she said. Someone had broken the fence down and dumped junk on the field. Wilf was cross. “We don’t want junk on our field,” he said. “The field isn’t a dump,” said Mrs May. Then Mrs May saw something in the junk. “Do you see this?” she asked the children. “It’s a mangle. It gets the water out of wet clothes.” “How does it do that?” asked Anneena. Mrs May took the mangle into the classroom. She showed the children how it worked. First she got a big sheet and made it wet. Then Nadim turned the handle and Biff helped Mrs May put the sheet through. The water ran out of the sheet and went into a bucket. “We don’t use mangles now to get clothes dry,” said Mrs May. “What do we use?” Mrs May showed the children a picture of someone washing clothes a long time ago. Mrs May asking the children if they had any old things at home. Some of the children said they had. When Biff and Chip got home from school they looked at the little house. “The house looks very old,” said Chip, “and so do these little children. Let’s take them to school.” Kipper didn’t want them to take the little house to school. “What about the magic?” he asked Biff. “The magic won’t work if we don’t take the key,” said Biff. Some of the children took old things to school. “What a lot of things,” said Mrs May. “We can find out all about them and have a display.” Mrs May liked the little house and so did all the childre n. Biff and chip didn’t say that the house was magic. That was a secret. Wilf was being silly. He climbed on Mrs May’s table and pushed some books over. The books fell on to the little house with a crash. “Oh no!” said Biff. One of the books made a hole in the roof. Wilf was very upset when he saw that the roof was broken. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Perhaps I can get my dad to mend it.” Biff and Chip took the house home. Kipper was cross when he saw that it was broken. He had the magic key in his hand. “Will the magic still work?” he asked. Just then the key began to glow. A new adventure began. The magic took the children back in time. It took them to their house a long time ago. The house looked new but the roof was broken. There were three children playing ou tside and two men were mending the roof. “Didn’t our house look nice a long time ago?” said Biff. “But how did the roof get broken?” The children saw Biff, Chip and Kipper, and ran up to them. “Hello,” they said. “Who are you?” “I’m Biff,” said Biff. “This is Chip, and this is Kipper. “What funny names!” said the girl. “My name is Victoria, this is Edward, and this is Will.” “What funny clothes you have!” said Will. “Not as funny as yours!” said Kipper. Kipper looked up at the men on the roof. “How did the roof get broken?” he asked. “We don’t know,” said Edward. “It’s was broken when we woke up.” “That’s funny,” said Kipper. A lady came out and called to the children. “Go inside and wash your hands,” she said. “It’s time for tea.” ‘Is that your mother?” Bif f asked. “No,” said Edward. “That’s our cook.” The children went into the kitchen. The cook looked at Biff, Chip and Kipper. “May they stay to tea?” asked Victoria. “They have funny clothes,” said Cook, “but yes.” Biff looked round the kitchen. “This is not like our kitchen,” she said. Cook looked at Chip’s hands. “Go and wash your hands,” she said. “You can’t have tea until you do.” After tea, Cook made the children wash their hands again. Then she told Edward to take some tea to the workmen. “Come and see our rooms,” said Edward. The broken roof was in Edward’s room. “Is it mended yet?” he asked. “It won’t be long now,” said the man. “Thanks for the tea.” The children went into Victoria’s room. Victoria had a little room in her bedroom. It was the one Biff had. “We keep toys in here,” said Victoria. “Come and look.” Biff, Chip, and Kipper looked at the children’s

toys. “I wish we had a horse like this,” Chip said. “So do I,” said Biff. Victoria took Biff, Chip, and Kipper into the little room. “Come and see this,” she said. “What is it?” asked Kipper. Victoria showed them a little house. She told them that her father was making it for them. “It will look like this house,” she said. “We know,” said Biff. Edward looked at Chip’s watch and Chip looked at Edward’s boat. “Do you want to swap?” asked Edward. “Yes, please,” said Chip, “then I can take the boat to school to show Mrs May.” Suddenly the magic key began to glow. “It’s time to go,” said Kipper, “but I don’t want to.” “Will you come back?” asked Edward. “We don’t know,” said Biff. “Maybe.” The magic took the children home. They looked at the little house. “The broken roof has been mended,” said Biff. “How did that happen?” “I don’t know,” said Chip, “maybe Dad mended it.” “I think the workmen in the adventure did it,” said Kipper. “We saw them.” “I think it was magic,” said Biff. “I liked that adventure best of all,” said Biff. “I liked those children long ago. I’d like to go back and see them again.” “Me too,” said Chip, looking at the boat. “Maybe I could get my watch back!”

7-4 The Lost Key

Kipper wanted a magic adventure but the magic key would not glow. It had not glowed for a long time. “Maybe it will glow if I keep it with me,” he thought, so he put it in his pocket. Mum had to go shopping. She wanted Kipper to go with her. “I want to get you some new trainers,” she said, “so come on.” Kipper forgot he had the key in his pocked. On the way to the shops, Mum let Kipper stop and play. He ran to the rocket and the key fell out of his pocket and on to the grass. “Look at me, Mum!” he called. Kipper looked in his pockets but the key was not there. “Oh no!” said Kipper. “Where is the key? I can’t have lost it, can I? But he had lost the key. Kipper wanted to go and look for the key, but Mum would not let him. It had started to rain and Mum wanted to get home. “Ask Biff and Chip to look for it,” she said. A man came to cut the grass. He cut it with a mower. The mower ran over the magic key with a clang. “What was that?” said the man. The key had broken the mowe r. “Grrrrr!” the man said, crossly. “Now I shall have to mend the mower.” He was so cross that he threw the magic key in a bin. Two boys came to play on the swings. One of the boys looked in the bin and found the key. “Look at this old, bent key,” he said.“What shall we do with it?” The boys took the key with them. One of them had some string. He tied the key to the string and spun it round and round. Suddenly the string broke and the key flew through the air. It hit a greenhouse with a crash and broke the glass. “Oh no!” said the boys. “Look at my greenhouse!” yelled the man. “The glass is broken.” The boys ran away as fast as they could. “Just you come back here,” called the man. Kipper had to tell Biff and Chip that he had lost the magic key. “I think I lost it by the rocket,” he said, “but Mum wouldn’t let me look for it.” “Come on,” said Chip. ‘We must find it.” Wilf and Wilma helped them look for the lost key. Biff asked the man if he had seen it. “Yes,” said the man. “I threw it in that bin, but two boys took it out.” The children saw the two boys. They asked them if they had found the key. “Yes,” said the boys, “but we lost it again. We broke a man’s greenhouse with it.” The saw the man with the greenhouse. “We are sorry about the broken glass,” said Chip, “but could we have the key?” “Sorry,” said the man. “I sold the key to the junk shop to help pay for the glass.” The children went to the junk shop. They told the lady about the key and asked her if she had it. “Sorry,” said the lady. “I have

just so ld it.” The lady told them who had it. “A man came in,” she said. “He wanted some old keys.” She told them that the man had a shop down the street. The children went to the man’s shop. In the window there were pictures and paintings. “Why do you think the man wants old keys?” asked Wilf. Wilma looked inside the shop. It was closed and she couldn’t see the man. ‘We must get our pocket money,” said Biff. “We may have to buy the key back.” “Let’s go home, then,” said Chip. Mum went to the shop with the children. She told the man about the key and how Kipper had lost it. She asked if they could have the key back. “Yes,” said the man. “If you can find it.” The man had painted some pictures and had put lots of keys in them. All the keys had been painted. The child ren looked at the pictures but they couldn’t see the magic key. They looked at all the pictures. “All the keys look the same,” said Biff. Suddenly Kipper saw a little picture. It had one key in it. “Here it is,” he said. “This is our key.” The man told the m that they would have to buy the picture. Biff and Chip gave Mum their pocket money, and Mum paid the man. “It’s a lot to pay for an old key,” she said. The children pulled the key from the picture and rubbed off the paint. Then they looked at it. “The key has not glowed for a long time,” said Biff. “Perhaps it has lost its magic.” “It’s been out in the rain,” said Wilf, “and it’s been bent by a mower.” ‘It’s been through a window,” said Chip, “and it’s been stuck on a painting.” “It’s had a bad time,” sai d Wilma. The children wanted the key to glow. Wilma picked it up. “Do you think it will ever glow again?” she said. “Do you think the magic will still work?” “I don’t know,” said Biff. “I hope so.” But the key didn’t glow and the magic wouldn’t work. Kippe r told the key about the adventures he would like to have. But still the magic wouldn’t work. The next day, Wilf and Wilma came to the house with Nadim and Anneena. The children were sorry about the key. It still wouldn’t glow and they were all very sad. “How can we make the magic work again?” asked Wilma. Anneena thought of a good idea. “Let’s remind it of the magic adventures,” she said. “Maybe that will make it work.” But the key still didn’t glow. At last the children gave up. Mum told Biff and Chip it was time for their friends to go home. “Cheer up,” said Mum. Kipper was sorry about the key. “It’s all my fault.” He said and he began to cry. “Don’t cry, Kipper,” said Chip. “Maybe the magic has just run out.” Biff and Chip let Kipper take the key to bed. Kipper looked at it for a long time. At last he fell asleep. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow.

7-5 The Willow Pattern Plot

Biff and Chip were at a car boot sale. They saw Nadim. “Nadim! Over here!” called Biff. Nadim ran to see them. He had bought something at the sale. It was a biue and white plate. He showed it to Biff and Chip. “It’s present for my mum,” said Nadim. “It’s a willow pattern plate. My mum collects them.” “Why is it called a willow pattern plate?” asked Chip. “I don’t know,” said Nadim, “but I think the pattern tells a story.” “I wonder what the story is,” said Biff. Mum and Dad looked at Nadim’s plate. “It’s present for my mum,” said Nadim. Biff asked if Nadim could come and play. So Nadim went to play with Biff and Chip. The went up t o Biff’s bedroom. “What shall we play?” asked Nadim. “I don’t know,” said Biff. Suddenly, the key began to glow. The magic took the children into a new adventure. “What’s happening?” called Nadim. “Help!” said Biff. “Everything is going blue!” “What a strange place!” said Chip. “What strange trees!” “Everything looks blue and white,” said Nadim. “We’re in the land of the willow pattern.” They were in a big garden. It

had a high wall all round it and blue trees grew everywhere. “I can see water,” said Biff. “Is the garden next to the sea?’ “No, it’s next to a lake,” said Nadim. “There’s a bridge,” said Biff. “It’s like the one on the plate.” “I can see a little house down by the water,” said Chip. Down by the lake they saw a girl. She was all alone. “She looks unhappy,” said Biff. “Why is she all alone and why is she crying?” The girl was called Kim Shee. She lived in the little house by the lake. She had a cruel father. He would not let her go out of the garden. Kim loved a boy called Chang. She wanted to mar ry him. But Chang was too poor. Kim’s father wanted her to marry a rich man, but Kim loved Chang. Kim Shee heard Chang calling. “Kim Shee,” he called. “Are you alone?” “Chang!” said Kim. “How did you get here?” “I swam across the lake,” said Chang. “Nobody saw me.” “Oh!” said Kim. “You are cold and wet.” “It does not matter,” said Chang. But Kim Shee was afraid. “You must go away,” she said. “My father must not see you here.” “This garden is like a prison,” said Chang. “Your father never lets you go out.” “But what can we do?” asked Kim. “We must run away,” said Chang. “Then I can marry you.” “But how can I leave the garden?” everywhere.” “Don’t worry,” said Chang. “I will think of something.” Kim heard the sound of a twig snapping. “Someone is watching us!”she gasped. Chang jumped to his feet. He held up a stick. “Who is there?” he called. Then they saw Biff, Chip and Nadim. “Don’t be afraid,” said Biff. “We are friends.” “We have never seen children like you before,” gasped Chang. “How did you get into this garden?” “We didn’t mean to listen,” said Chip, “but we heard what you were saying.” “We know you want to run away,” said Biff. “But how can we?” asked Kim. “There are guards all round the garden.” Nadim had a good idea. He told them what it was. “It’s a brilliant idea!” said Chip. “I’m sure it will work,” said Biff. “But what if we are caught?” asked Chang. “Do you have a better idea?” asked Biff. “No,” said Chang. “It is our only chance.” “First, you must hid e,” said N adim. “Then, be ready to run over t he bridge,” said chip. “Now we must get ready,” said Nadim. Kim had a long sash round her waist. “Give me your sash, Kim,” said Biff. Kim gave Biff her sash. Biff tied Kim’s sash to the bridge. There were lemon trees in the garden. Nadim and Chip climbed into one. They picked as many lemons as they could. Then they waited. Kim and Chang hid by the bridge. Biff held on to the end of the sash. “I hope Nadim’s idea works,” she thought. Nadim called from the tree. “Willow Pattern Plot-begin!” he said. Chip and N adim began to shout at the guards. “Come and get us!” they yelled. “We’re over here.” The guards ran into the garden. They ran towards Kim Shee’s little house. Now that the guards were in the garden, Kim Shee and Chang could escape. Someone else ran into the garden. “My father is coming!” gasped Kim Shee. Kim and Chang began to run, but the guards saw them. “Stop them!” shouted Kim Shee’s father. Nadim and Chip threw the lemons at the guards. Chang and Kim Shee ran over the bridge. The guards chased after them. Biff got ready. “I hope Kim’s sash is strong!” she said. The guards ran onto the bridge. Biff pulled the sash tight. The guards tripped over it. They fell over with a crash. “You fools!” shouted Kim Shee’s father. Chip and Nadim climbed down from the lemon tree. They ran across to find Biff. Kim Shee’s father saw them. “Catch those children,” he yelled. “Well done, Biff!” said Chip. “Kim and Chang have got away!” “I hope we get away, too,” said Biff. The magic key was glowing. “Hooray! It’s time to go!” she said. “What an adventure!” said Chip. Nadim picked up his plate and looked at it. “I wonder what happened in the real willow pattern story,” he said.

7-6 Submarine Adventure

Wilf and Wilma had come to play at Biff and Chip’s house. It was Wilf’s birthday. “Happy birthday, Wilf,” said Biff and Chip. They gave him a big card. Wilf had a large box. “This is my birthday present,” he said. Everyone looked inside the box. “What is it?” asked Chip. “It looks like a submarine,” said Biff. “It’s a kind of submarine,” said Wilf. “It explores the sea bed.” “That’s right,” said Wilma. “It goes to the bottom of the sea.” “What a brilliant present!” said Biff. The submarine looked like a car. It had big windows and it had headlights. Wilf put the headlights on. “It’s brilliant,” said Chip. Biff looked at the magic key. Suddenly it began to glow. It was time for a new adventure. “I wonder where the key will take us,” said Wilf. The magic took the children to the sea, where there were lots of boats. Chip pointed to a yellow submarine. “Look at that one,” he said. “It looks just like Wilf’s submarine!” The children went to look at the submarine. “I wish we could look inside,” said Chip. Just then a hatch began to open and a man looked out. The man peered at them. “Hello!” he said. “I’m Professor Tangle.” “How do you do,” said Wilf. “My new crew?” said Professor Tangle. “You look a bit young.” “We’re not your new crew,” shouted Wilf. “How do you do!” Professor Tangle didn’t hear properly. He got things muddled up. “You k now what to do?” he said. “That’s good! Get on board,” went on the Professor. “And tell me your names.” “I’m Biff,” said Biff, “and this is Wilma. This is Wilf, and this is Chip.” “No, it’s not a ship,” said the Professor. “It’s a diving machine.” “We know that,” said Wilf. “We’ve never been in one,” said Wilma, “and we’re not your new crew!” “You flew?” said Professor Tangle. “I didn’t see an aeroplane. Now shall we go?” Everyone smiled, and they all climbed into the submarine. Professor Tangle shut the ha tch. ‘There’s not much room,” said Wilma. “No,” said Biff. “I hope it doesn’t leak.” “Of course you can speak,” said the Professor. Professor Tangle started the engines. “It’s time to dive,” he said. The submarine went under the water. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. Everyone looked out of the window. They could see fish everywhere. “It’s wonderful,” said Chip. “It’s amazing to be under the sea.” “You can’t see?” said Professor Tangle. “Look out of the window, then.” “Come on, crew!” said Professor Tangle. “Ti me to do some work. Push that button, Biff. Press that handle, Wilf. Pull that lever, Chip.” “We’re not the crew!” yelled Biff. “Things might go wrong.” “Sing a song?” said Professor Tangle. “There’s no time for that. There’s far too much to do.” The submarine began to dive. It went deeper and deeper. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. “Where are we heading?” shouted Chip. “Will we dive deep?” “No, you can’t go to sleep,” said Professor Tangle. “You’re the crew! You have to stay awake! We are going to dive deep.”“This thing scares me,” said Wilma. The submarine went deeper and deeper. “Glub! Glub! Glub!” it went. Everyone looked out of the window. “I can see a shark!” said Wilma. “It is getting dark,” said the Professor. The submarine went even deeper. Professor Tangle was excited. It began to get dark. “It’s getting very dark,” said Biff. “Put the lights on, Professor.” The Professor pushed the light switch. ‘Bother! The lights don’t work,” he said. Biff looked out of the window. “Oh no! Help! Professor Tangle! I can see huge rocks,” she called. “No, I don’t need clean socks,” said the Professor. “Now, where’s that fuse?” He began to look for his tool box. “Look out!” yelled Chip. “We’re going to crash!” Professor tangle pushed a button and he pulled a lever. The submarine didn’t crash. It just missed the rocks. “Phew! That was close,” said Wilma. There was a cave ahead of them. The submarine was heading for it. “Slow down, Professor,” called Wilf. “We are heading for a cave in the rocks.” “Yes, it was in the box,”said the Professor. He held up the fuse. “Professor,

slow down!” yelled Wilf. “We’re going into a cave.” “Well, why didn’t you say so?” asked Professor Tangle. “We’d better slow down.” He pulled a lever and the submarine slowed down just in time. The submarine went into the cave. Professor Tangle put the new fuse in. All the lights came on. The cave shone and sparkled. There were diamonds all over the walls. “Diamonds! I’m rich!” said the Professor. “But you can’t get at them,” said Biff. “Oh bother!” said Professor Tangle. Suddenly the walls of the cave began to shake. Rocks and stones fell all around them. “We must get out,” said the Professor. “Full speed ahead.” “Oh no! We aren’t going to make it,” said Wilma. The submarine got out just in time. “Phew! That was close!” said Biff. “We’re sorry you couldn’t get the diamonds, Professor,” said Chip. Just then the key began to glow. The magic took them back to Biff’s room. “That was a good adventure,” said Chip. “We must go home for tea,” said Wilma. “What’s that?” joked Wilf. “You want to go back to sea?”

7-7 The Motorway

Biff and Chip went to stay with Gran. Gran lived in a little village. Biff and Chip liked staying with Gran. She was good fun. She made Biff and Chip laugh. Gran took Biff and Chip to the shed. She had a surprise for them. “Open the door,” she said. “I’ve got a surprise for you.” “What is it?” asked Chip. Biff and Chip opened the door and looked inside the shed. They had a big surprise. “Oh no!” said Biff. “There’s a dragon in the shed!” “It’s not a real dragon,” said Gran. “It’s a kite.” Biff and Chip looked at the kite. “It’s a Chinese dragon kite,” said Gran. “It’s wonderful,” said Biff. The children wanted to fly the kite. “It’s a good day for a picnic,” said Gran. “And it’s a good day to fly the kite. It’s quite windy.” “Can I fly it first?” asked Biff. Gran found a good place for the picnic. It was near her house. “This is a good place to fly the kite,” she said. She let Biff fly the kite first. The wind took the kite up in the sky. It we nt higher and higher. “It looks wonderful,” said Chip. Suddenly the wind got stronger. “Don’t let go,” called Gran. The wind pulled the dragon kite out of Biff’s hand. It blew away and landed in a tree. Biff was upset. “I couldn’t hold on to it,” she said. Chip climbed the tree and pulled the kite, but it wouldn’t come down. “Be careful,” said Biff. “Mind you don’t tear it.” “And mind you don’t fall,” said Gran. The kite was stuck in the tree. Chip couldn’t get it down. In the end, someone got the kite down with a long pole. “Thank you,” said Biff and Chip. Biff and Chip went to fly the kite again. Chip saw some .wild flowers. “Mind those flowers!” he said. “Don’t step on them.” Gran looked upset. “What’s the matter, Gran?” asked Chip. “They want to build a motorway. They want to put it right here,” said Gran. Biff and Chip were upset, too. They didn’t want a motorway there. “We won’t be able to have picnics or play in the wood,” said Biff. “And we won’t be able to fly the kite.” A woman pointed to the wood. Then she pointed to the village. “This is where the motorway will go. It will go between the wood and the village,” she said. Gran was very upset. She looked at the village and she looked at her house. “We don’t want a motorway here,” she said. “We must stop it.” Gran told people in the village about the motorway. Everyone was upset. “We don’t want a motorway here. We must stop it,” they said. Everyone wanted to stop the motorway. “We don’t want it here,” said Gran. “It will spoil our village.” ‘It can’t be helped,” said a man. “We can’t stop it.” People came to Gran’s house. They made banners and posters. Gran made a big banner. Biff helped her. The banner said, “Stop the motorway”. Chip was good at painting. He made a poster. The poster said, “Save our

woo dland.” “The banner looks good,” said Biff. “And Chip’s poster looks good too.” Everyone went to a meeting. An important woman was there. The woman pointed to a map. “We have to put the motorway here,” she said. “We don’t want the motorway here,” said Gran. “It will spoil the village.” “It can’t be helped,” said the woman. “It has to go somewhere. I can’t stop it.” Soon, big lorries and bulldozers came to the village. Nobody wanted the motorway. Everyone wanted to stop it, but the bulldozers began to dig. G ran looked at the bulldozers. “The motorway will spoil the countryside,” she said. “Now we won’t be able to walk in the woods and go on picnics.” The children watched the bulldozers. Biff looked at the wild flowers. “Oh no!” she said. “The bulldozer will d ig them up soon. Let’s pick some for Gran.” Biff and Chip made Gran a cup of tea. They gave her the flowers. “We picked these flowers for you,” said Chip. “The bulldozer will dig them up soon.” Gran looked at the flowers. “I think these flowers are very rare,” she said. “I’ve never seen them before.” She jumped up and ran inside the house. Gran looked in a book. She found a picture of the flowers. “This is wonderful!” shouted Gran. “These flowers are rare. Now we can stop the motorway.” People came from everywhere. They looked at the rare flowers. “This is amazing,” they said. “We’ve never seen these flowers before. They must be saved.” “Hooray!” shouted Gran. “These flowers will stop the motorway. They can’t put a motorway here. They can’t dig up rare flowers.” The rare flowers were saved, and so was Gran’s village. The bulldozers and lorries went away, but they left a big hole in the ground. “Thank you for helping us stop the motorway,” said Gran. “What will you do about the hole?” asked Biff. Gran smiled. She had an idea. The big hole was made into a lake. Ducks came to live on it and wild flowers grew round it. “The children will like this,” said gran. “It’s better than a motorway.”

7-8 The Bully

A new girl came to the school. She was in Biff and Chip’s class. The new girl was called Rosie, and she didn’t look very friendly. She pulled a face at Anneena. Rosie sat next to Chip. Chip didn’t like her. She took his pens and scribbled on his picture. So Chip scribbled on her picture. Rosie got Chip into trouble. She went to Mrs May. “He scribbled on my picture,” she said. Mrs May was cross with Chip. She told him off. Nobody liked the new girl. She was a bully. She called everyone nasty names. She called Chip a motor mouth, and she called Wilf a parrot face. Rosie was nasty to Biff. She took her crisps and called her a toffee nose. Biff was frightened of Rosie. Everyone was frightened of her. Rosie was nasty to Anneena. She called her a good-goody and pulled her hair. “Ow! Stop it!” said Anneena. “Leave me alone.” Wilma was bigger than Rosie, so she ran to help Anneena. But Rosie was a bully. She called Wilma a dinosaur brain and she pushed her over. Rosie pulled Chip’s ear and she wouldn’t let go. “Tell me a secret,” she said. “Go on!” Chip didn’t want to tell her a secret. “Go on, Motor Mouth,” said Rosie. Rosie pulled Chip’s ear even harder. “Tell me a secret,” she said. “Go on!” Chip didn’t want to, but he told Rosie about the magic key. Rosie wanted to see the magic key, so she made Chip take her home. “Let me see this key,” she said. “I want a magic adventure.” The children went to Biff’s room. Rosie looked at the magic key, but it wouldn’t glow. “It’s just an old key,” she said. “It isn’t magic at all.”The magic key wouldn’t glow when Rosie was holding it. But, as soon as Chip took the key, it began to glow. “It’s a trick,” said

Rosie. The magic key took the children on a new adventure. It took Rosie,too. “Help!” called Rosie. “I don’t like this. Make it stop!” The magic key took the children to a school playground. “This is just a playground,”said Rosie. “This isn’t a magic adventure.”“How do you know?” asked Chip. Rosie was cross with Chip. “This is a silly adventure, Motor Mouth,” said Rosie. “The magic key is silly.” The magic key began to glow, but this time it glowed red. The magic turned Rosie into a motor mouth. “What’s happening?” shouted Rosie. “I don’t like this.”“You’re a motor mouth,”said Nadim. Rosie tried to grab the magic key, but Chip threw it to Wilma. “Give the key to me, Dinosaur Brain,” shouted Rosie. The magic key glowed red again. The key turned Rosie into a dinosaur brain. “Help!” shouted Rosie. “I don’t like this.” The children began to laugh. “Give me the magic key!” shouted Rosie. Wilma threw the key to Wilf. Rosie tried to grab it. “Give me that key, Parrot Face,” she shouted. But the key glowed again. The magic key gave Rosie a parrot face. The children laughed and laughed. “I don’t like this,” said Rosie. “It’s not fair. Give me the magic key.” Wilf threw the key to Nadim. “Give me that key!” shouted Rosie. She tried to grab it, but Nadim threw it to Anneena. Rosie got very angry. She tried to hit Wilf, but the key glowed red again. The magic made Rosie hit herself. “Ow!” she said. “That hurt.” Rosie began to cry. She wanted the magic adventure to stop. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. This time, it took the children home.Biff and Chip looked at Rosie, then they looked at the magic key. “This key is magic,” said Biff, “and it doesn’t like bullies. Nobody likes bullies.” Rosie ran home. The children were glad, but Biff felt a bit sorry for her. “That was a strange adventure,” said Biff. “The magic was different this time.”The next day, two big children saw Rosie. The big children were bullies, too. They wanted Rosie’s sweets, so they pushed her against the wall. Then the bullies pulled Rosie’s ear. “Help!”called Rosie. “That hurts. Let me go!” she shouted. Chip and Wilma saw the bullies. They didn’t know what to do. Wilma had an idea. She ran and told Mrs May about Rosie and the bullies. “Come quickly, Mrs May,” called Wilma. “Rosie needs your help.” Mrs May went to help Rosie. She told the bullies off. “Nobody likes bullies,” said Mrs May. “Bullying is nasty. Don’t bully people again.” Mrs May spoke to all the children. “Nobody likes bullies,” she said. “Wilma was right to tell a grown-up. Always tell a grown-up about billies. We don’t want bullies in this school.” Rosie was glad that Chip and Wilma had helped her. “Thank you,” she said. She was sorry she had been a bully, and she didn’t bully anyone again. The next day, a new boy came to the school. His name was Sam, and he didn’t look very friendly. “Oh no!” said Chip.

7-9 The Hunt for Gold

Wilma’s mum had a charm bracelet. It was made of gold. The bracelet had ten charm on it. The charms were made of gold too. “It’s a beautiful bracelet,” said Chip. Wilma’s mum was washing her hands at the sink. She had the bracelet on. One of the charms fell off the bracelet, and it went down the plug hole. Wilma’s mum was very upset. “I hope I can get the charm out of the plug hole,” she said. Chip ran and got his mum. “She can get the charm out,” he said. Mum put a plastic bowl under the sink. Everyone looked in the bowl. “There’s the charm,” said Mum. “Yuk!” said Wilma. “It’s got dirt on it.” Wilma’s mum was glad to get it back. Mum found something else. “Yuk!” she said. “Look what I’ve found.” It was Wilf’s old chewing gum. “What a place to stick old chewing gum!” said Wilma’s mum. The children went to Biff’s bedroom. Wilf had three packets of

chewing gum. He gave some gum to Chip. “This is my bedroom,” said Biff, “so mind where you put the old chewing gum.” Suddenly the magic key began to glow. The magic took the children on a new adventure. “Help!” said Wilf. “I don’t know what to do with my old chewing gum.” The magic took water. The boy and the girl had big pans. They scooped up little stones from the river. Then they looked for tiny bits of gold in the bottom of the pans. The boy and girl got angry when they saw the children. They didn’t want them to look for gold. “This is our bit of river,” they shouted. “Go and look for gold somewhere else!” Wilf gave the boy and girl some gum. They hadn’t seen chewing gum before. They didn’t know what to do with it. “You just chew it,” said Wilf. “Chew it, but don’t swallow it.” The boy was called Luke and the girl was called Alice. They lived in a hut by the river. Alice and Luke looked for gold every day. It was a hard life. The family hadn’t found any gold, and Luke and Alice were always hungry. “Looking for gold is hard,” said Luke. “Do you want to help us?” The children helped look for gold. Wilf and Biff helped Luke’s father. Wilma and Chip helped Alice and Luke. “I’m glad I brought the gum,” said Wilf. “This is hard work.” It was cold in the river, and the children soon got tired. “We do this every day,” said Luke, “and we still haven’t found any gold.” Suddenly, Luke’s father shouted. “Gold!” he yelled. “We’ve found gold.” He picked up a big nugget of gold and jumped up and down. Everyone ran to see. Everyone looked at the gold nugget. It felt heavy and cold. “Hooray!” shouted Luke’s mother. “We have found gold at last,” she said. “I thought we’d never find any.” The children went to town with Luke’s mother and father. Luke and Alice were excited. “We can sell the gold,” they said, “and we can buy some food.” “We can buy new clothes,” said Luke’s mother. “And a new spade,” said Luke’s father. “And some chewing gum,” said Luke. “What’s chewing gum?” asked Luke’s father. Some men were waiting in the road. “Oh no!” said Luke’s father. “Robbers! They will steal our gold nugget. What shall we do?” Wilf had an idea. He spoke to all the children. “Give me your chewing gum,” he said. “Give me all the old chewing gum, and give me the gold nugget.” The robbers wanted gold and money. “But we’re just a poor family,” said Luke’s father. “We haven’t got any money and we haven’t found any gold.” The robbers looked everywhere. They searched everyone. “We’re only children,” said Alice. “We haven’t got any gold and we haven’t got any money.” The robbers couldn’t find the gold. They let everyone go. “Hooray,” said Luke. “Wilf’s chewing gum saved the gold.” “Is that chewing gum?” asked Luke’s father. “Luke’s father and mother got some money for the gold. “I can have a new dress,” said Alice. “And I can have new boots,” said Luke. Luke’s father bought a new cart. It was bigger than the old one. “We need a new cart,” said Luke. “There is so much to take home.” The children helped them put everything on the cart. “This is hard work too,” said Biff. “These magic adventures are not all fun.” They all went back to the river. Th e family put on the new clothes. Wilma and Biff looked for gold. “I hope we find some,” said Wilma. “I’d love to find a gold nugget.” Suddenly, Biff saw a little yellow speck in the pan. She had found some gold. “It’s very small,” she said. Just then, the magic key began to glow. The magic took the children home. Biff looked at the gold. “It looks really tiny, now,” she said. “It looks like a speck of dust!” Suddenly, Chip sneezed. The speck of gold blew out of Biff’s hand. It blew on to the carpet. “Did you see where it went?” asked Biff. “Oh no! Sorry!” said Chip. The children looked and looked. They couldn’t find the little speck of gold. “I don’t think we ever will,” said Biff. “Oh no!” said everyone.

7-10 Chinese Adventure

It was Gran’s birthday, so she had come to stay. The children gave Gran a present. “Happy birthday,”they said. “Thank you,”said Gran. Dad and Mum gave Gran a present. “It’s a funny shape!”said Gran. “I can’t think what it can be.” The children laughed. “We can,”said Kipper. Gran was pleased with the present. It was a Chinese vase. “I hope you like it,” said Mum. “It’s beautiful,”said Gran. “Thank you.”“Put it in a safe place,”said Dad.Gran had a surprise for everyone. She had a box of fireworks. She wanted a firework party. “But I thought fireworks were dangerous,” said Biff. “Fireworks are dangerous,” said Gran, “So children mustn’t play with them.”Mum and Gran got the fireworks ready. They were very careful. The children stayed out of the way. Nadim and Anneena came to the party. Everyone was excited. Gran let off a big firework. “Oooh!”said everyone. “What a beautiful firework!”said Chip. Dogs don’t like fireworks,so Floppy stayed inside the house. Suddenly, a firework made a loud bang. “I don’t like this,”thought Floppy, so he hid under a little table. It was time to have tea. Mum had a surprise for Gran. She had a birthday cake with lots of candles. “Happy birthday, Gran,” said everyone. Biff went into the front room to get her camera. She saw Gran’s vase on the floor. The vase was broken. “Oh no!” said Biff. The children went to Biff’s room. Biff showed them the broken vase. “Gran will be upset,” said Chip, “and so will Mum and Dad,”“I hope we can mend it,” said Biff. Suddenly, the key began to glow. The magic took the children into a new adventure. “Oh no!”said Biff. “I wanted to put the vase back downstairs!”The magic took the children back in time. It took them to China long ago. Nadim knew where they were. “We are in the Forbidden City,” he said. “Why is it called that?” asked Chip. “The Emperor lives here,” said Nadim. “He lives here with his family. Other people are not allowed to come here. That is why it is called the Forbidden City,” There was a fierce dog in the Forbidden City. It didn’t like Floppy. The Fierce dog growled and barked, but Floppy didn’t want to fight. “Stop it!” shouted Chip. Some women ran up and grabbed the dogs. The children were worried. “Oh help!” said Chip. The women took the children and Floppy to the Emperor. “What are you doing in the Forbidden City?” he shouted. “People are not allowed in here.” The Emperor called his soldiers. “Put them in prison!” he shouted. “That will teach them to come to the Forbidden City.”“I think we’ve upset him,” said Biff. The Emperor had two children. They were twins and they looked exactly the same. The twins spoke to the Emperor. One of them pointed to the children. The twins wanted to play with Kipper. “I will put you in prison tomorrow,” said the Emperor. “Today you can play with the twins.”“Hooray,” said the twins. The twins had never played with other children. They didn’t know how to play football. One of the twins kicked Nadim. “Ow!” said Nadim. “That was my leg.” Suddenly, the ball rolled away and fell down a grating. “Oh no!”said the twins. “Now the ball is lost.”Both the twins began to cry. Biff and Chip pulled up the grating. Nadim could see some steps. He began to go down them. “Hurry up,” said Biff. “We don’t want the Emperor to put us in prison.” Nadim went into a big cellar. It was full of cobwebs and dust. Nadim called the others. “Look at these giant vases,” he said. “They look like Gran’s vase.” Some people came into the cellar. They were the Emperor’s servants. They didn’t like the Emperor. They had barrels of gunpowder, because they wanted to blow up the palace. The children were frightened. They hid inside the vases. The people didn’t see them. “We’ll come back and blow up the palace tonight,”said a man. The

children ran to the Emperor. They told him about the gunpowder under the palace. “Some people want to blow up the palace tonight,” they said. That night, the people came back. The Emperor’s soldiers were waiting. The Emperor was pleased with the children. “I won’t put you in prison now,” he said. The Emperor had a big firework party. There were lots and lots of fireworks. They lit up the sky. Everyone gasped when the fireworks went off. Biff thought of Gran. “I wish she was here,” she thought. “Gran would love all these fireworks. She’d love this adventure.” The Emperor wanted to give the children a present. Biff had a good idea. She asked for one of the big vases. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The magic took the children home. It took the giant vase, too. But now the vase was quite small. “It looks exactly the same as Gran’s vase,” said Chip.The children looked at the vases. “Oh no!” said Biff. “They aren’t quite the same after all. The new vase has Chinese writing on it. Do you think Gran will notice？”

7-11 Roman Adventure

Biff and Chip were doing a project on the Romans. The project was for Mrs May.Biff made a chariot and Chip drew a picture. Mum and Dad looked at the project. “The Romans are interesting,”said Biff. Chip showed Mum his picture. It was a picture of a Roman chariot. The chariot was pulled by four horses. Biff showed Dad the model. “The Romans had chariot races,”said Biff. “The races were dangerous. A chariot was so heavy, it needed four horses to pull it.”Mum and Dad played a joke on Biff and Chip. They dressed up as Romans. “It’s time for supper,”called Dad. Kipper had some pizza and Mum had some grapes. “This is a Roman supper,” said Mum. “Romans didn’t have pizzas,” laughed Biff. “How do you know?” asked Mum. Biff and Chip went to Biff’s room. Biff wanted to take the chariot to school, but she still had to paint it. Chip was good at painting, so he helped Biff. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The magic took Biff and Chip on a new adventure. “Oh no!” said Biff. “I’m still painting the model chariot.” The magic took the children back to Roman times. It took them to Rome. Biff and Chip saw a girl. She was playing in the street. The girl looked at Biff’s model. “It’s a good model,” she said, “but it doesn’t look quite right.”“We’ve never seen a real chariot,” said Biff. The Roman girl was called Diana. She had a brother called Mark. He was a chariot driver. Mark looked at Biff’s model chariot. “I can show you a real chariot,” he said. Mark opened some big doors. Inside was a real chariot. It was like Biff’s model. but it was very big. “Wow!” said Biff. Mark let Biff go on the chariot. Biff pretended she was a chariot driver. She pretended she was in a race. “I wish I could be a chariot driver,” said Biff. Mark laughed at Biff. “You have to be strong to race chariots,” he said. “I’m in a race today. Come and watch it.” Everyone was hungry, so Diana took the children home. “We can have some bread,” she said. “My father is a baker. He makes the best bread in Rome.”Everyone looked at the bread, but something was wrong. The bread didn’t look right. It was flat. It didn’t look like bread at all. Diana’s father made some more bread. He baked it in the oven, but it was flat, too. “This is bad,” said Diana’s father. “Nobody will buy bread like this.” Chip looked at the flat bread. He had a good idea. “We can make pizzas,” he said. “What are pizzas?” asked Diana. “We don’t know what pizzas are.” Chip told Diana’s mother how to make pizzas. Everyone helped. Diana’s mother cooked the pizzas in the big oven. The pizzas looked good. “I hope you like them,”

said Chip. “Everyone likes pizzas,”said Biff. “They smell good,”said Diana’s mother. The pizzas tasted good too. Diana’s father was pleased. “Now we can sell them,” he said. “We can sell lots and lots. What a good job the bread was flat.” They went outside to sell the pizzas, but there was nobody in the street. There was nobody to buy the pizzas. “Where is everyone?”asked Biff. Everyone had gone to the chariot races. Diana’s father was upset. He looked at the pizzas. “All that work for nothing,” he said. “How can we sell pizzas when everyone is at the chariot races?”Diana had an idea. She put some pizzas in a basket. “Come on,” she called. “If everyone is at the chariot races, we can sell the pizzas there.” They took the pizzas to the chariot races. “Come and buy a pizza,” called Diana. But nobody bought the pizzas. Everyone was looking at the races. The children saw Mark,so they gave him one of the pizzas. “These pizzas are good,” said Mark. Biff looked at the chariot and she had a good idea. The children had a banner. It was about the pizzas. Mark put it on his chariot. The people laughed when they saw the banner. “why has Mark put a banner on his chariot?”people asked. “And what are pizzas?”The race began and everyone cheered when Mark came first. The people ran to buy the pizzas. “These pizzas are good,” they said. “What a good idea to put a banner on the chariot.” Just then, some soldiers grabbed the family and the children. “You must stop selling pizzas,” they said. “The Emperor wants to see you. Come with us.” The Emperor was angry. “This has got to stop,” he said. “Who put this banner on the chariot? And what are pizzas?”Would you like to try one?”asked Diana. “They taste good,”said the Emperor. “You can deliver some to the palace. But I don’t want banners on the chariots, so take your banner away.” Just then, the magic key glowed. Chip looked at the little banner. He put it on Biff’s chariot. “The Emperor didn’t like banners on chariots,”he said. “I wonder what Mrs May will think.”

7-12 The Jigsaw Puzzle

It was raining. The children were fed up. Biff and Anneena were bored, and Chip was in a bad mood. He wanted to play with the frisbee. Mum had an idea. She had a new jigsaw puzzle. She gave it to the children. “You can do this jigsaw,” she said. “It’s a good one .” Everyone looked at the jigsaw. It was a picture of soldiers and a boy. “The soldiers are asking the boy a question,”said Mum. “They want to know where his father is.”The jigsaw puzzle had lots of pieces. The children liked the jigsaw, but it was hard to do. Soon, Chip got bored with it. He began to play with the frisbee. In the end, everyone got bored. The magic key began to glow. The magic took the children into a new adventure. The magic took the children to a time long ago. It took them to a big house. Some children were playing with their mother and father.Kipper looked at the children. “What funny clothes they’re wearing,” he said. “They look like the children in the picture on the jigsaw,” said Anneena. Kipper spoke to the girl and boy. “Hello,” he said. “My name’s Kipper. This is Biff, Chip and Anneena.”“What funny names!” said the girl. “And what funny clothes you’re wearing.”“What are your names?” asked Chip. “My name is Jane,” said the girl. “My name is Edmund,” said the boy, “and my father is very important.”“We don’t mind,” said Kipper. Edmund had never seen a frisbee before. “Why have you got a plate?” he asked. “It’s not a plate,” said Kipper. “It’s a frisbee.” Everyone played with it. Suddenly, there was a shout. A man ran towards Edmund’s father. “Quickly, you must hide!” he said. “Get inside the house. The

soldiers are coming!”Edmund’s father ran inside. “Quickly!” shouted Edmund. “We must help my father to hide. The soldiers mustn’t find him.” Everyone ran into the house. The soldiers came to the house. They knocked on the door. “Let us in!” they shouted. “Open the door, or we’ll smash it down.” Everyone ran to the library. The library had a secret room. The room was behind a bookcase. Edmund’s father hid in the secret room. “Good luck, Father,” said Edmund. Edmund’s mother pushed the bookcase back. “Don’t tell the soldiers about the secret room,” said Jane. “They will kill my father if they find him.” The soldiers ran into the house. They looked for Edmund’s father. “Tell us where he is!” they shouted. The children were frightened, but they didn’t say anything. The soldiers looked everywhere, but they couldn’t find Edmund’s father. One of the soldiers found a sword. “His sword is here,” he said, “so he must be here somewhere.” The soldiers took everyone into a room. Some men sat at a big table. They looked at the children. One of them looked at Kipper. “Come here, little boy,” he said. “Where is your father?” asked the man. Kipper was frightened, but he didn’t say anything. None of the children said anything. The important men were angry. “Your father is hiding,” they shouted. “Tell us where he is. If he is hiding in this house, we will soon find him.” Nobody said anything, so the soldiers began to pull up the floor. They tapped on the walls. Edmund’s mother was frightened. “They may find him,”she said.Edmund and Jane were frightened. They wanted to help their father. Suddenly, Chip had an idea. “Maybe your father could escape, if he dressed up as a woman,” he said. Biff and Anneena had an idea too. Biff threw the frisbee at a soldier. The soldier laughed. He had never seen a frisbee before. “Come and look at this!”he shouted. The soldiers wanted a rest, so they stopped looking for Edmund’s father. They all went outside and played with the frisbee. Soon, everyone was laughing. The soldiers liked the frisbee. They played with it for a long time. Suddenly, an old woman came up. She looked very poor. She wanted some money. The soldiers stopped playing with the frisbee. They shouted at the old woman. “Go away!” they shouted. “We don’t have any money.” Suddenly, one of the soldiers looked at the house. He saw someone running away. “Look! Over there!” he shouted. “Someone’s running away.”The soldiers chased the woman. “It’s not a woman, it’s a man,” they shouted. “It must be the man we want. Don’t let him get away.” The soldiers caught the man and took him back to the house. “Oh no!” said Anneena. “They’ve caught Edmund’s father. Our idea didn’t work.” The soldiers thought they had caught Edmund’s father. But it was a trick. “Grrr!” said the soldiers. “Hooray!” said the children. The children found some old clothes. “So Edmund’s father was the old woman,” said Anneena. “What a good trick,” laughed everyone. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The jigsaw puzzle was finished. Mum looked at something in the picture. “That’s funny,” she said. “That looks like a frisbee.” It must be a plate,” said Chip.

7-13 The Power Cut

The family was going on holiday. They were taking Biff and Chip. Mum and Dad were busy packing the car. “Will you pack these for us, please?” asked Wilma. “There will be lots to do,” said Dad. “You won’t need those.”“We will,” said Will. “We must take the games station. I’ve got a great new game.”“We want to watch these films,”said Wilma. “We haven’t seen some of them

yet.”“And can we take the CD player?” asked Biff. It was a long journey. It took hours. They stopped for a break. “Let’s get a drink,” said Mum. “Can we play a game in the arcade first?”asked Wilf. At last they arrived at the cottage. “We’re in the middle of a forest,” said Wilf. “We’re in the middle of nowhere,” said Wilma. They went inside the cottage. Mum and Dad began to unpack the car. There was a big television in the front room. “Great!” said Chip. “Let’s watch TV.”“We could play some games,” said Wilf. “Could you bring in our games station, Dad?”“Not now,” said Dad. “Come and help us unpack the car.” At breakfast Wilma put on a film. Dad sighed. “Get dressed everyone. We didn’t come on holiday to watch TV.”“Can we watch this first?” asked Wilma. “Later,” said Dad. “Let’s go out.” Wasn’t it fun on the beach today?” said Mum. But nobody said anything. Wilf and Biff were busy playing a game. Chip and Wilma were listening to a CD. Suddenly all the lights went out. The television and the CD player went off. “What’s happened?” called Biff. Dad came in with a torch. “There’s been a power cut!” he said. Mum found a lamp. “What if the power doesn’t come back on?” asked Chip, looking at the TV. “We’ll have to do without it,” said Dad. “Oh no!” said the children. The power didn’t come back on. “It may be off for a long time,” said Dad. It was time to eat. They all sat round the table and had supper by candlelight. It was fun eating in the dark. They took it in turns to tell stories. Dad told them a funny story about a time when he was a little boy. It made them all laugh. That night the power didn’t come back on. The children had to use the lamp to go to bed. Chip made a shadow on the wall with his hands. “Guess what it is,” he said. Wilma shone a torch under her chin. The light made her face look scary. “Whoooh!” she said. “I’m a monster.” Everyone laughed. Then Mum came in and said it was time to go to sleep. The next morning there was still no power. So the family spent all day on the beach. They played lots of games. “It’s late,” said Mum. “It’s time to go.”“Can’t we stay a bit longer?” asked Wilf. “I’ve got an idea,” said Dad. “Let’s build a fire. We could cook supper.”“Brilliant!” they all shouted. “Let’s get some driftwood,” said Mum. “I’ll go and get the food,” said Dad. It was getting dark by the time the fire was finished. “Hey Wilf! That looks like a giant bird’s nest,” said Mum. “You light it, not lay an egg in it!” Dad cooked lots of food on the fire. Then Mum toasted some marshmallows. They all sat and looked at the stars. “I have a surprise,” said Dad. “Sparklers!”“Sorry,” said Dad the next morning. “Still no power.”“We can do without it,” smiled Chip. “Last night was magic,” said Wilf. “What shall we do tonight?”asked Biff. That night Wilma had a good idea. “We could play hide and seek,” she said. “If you are ‘It’ you have a torch.”Everyone hid around the dark cottage. Wilf was ‘It’. He counted to a hundred.Wilf looked in every room. “Found you, Biff!” he called. Biff was hiding behind a big plant. he foundChip lying in the bath. Wilma was behind the TV. Mum was under a bed. But where was Dad? Suddenly, the moon came out from behind the clouds. It lit up the windows. Dad was hiding behind the curtains. “That gives me an idea,” thought Wilma. The next day Biff, Chip and Wilf went with Wilma to the woods. “Why have we brought the boxes and a sheet?” asked Chip. “And why are we here so early?” yawned Wilf. “There’s loads to do before tonight.” Wilma’s eyes sparkled. “This evening, we are going to do a shadow play!” “Brilliant!” said Chip. “What’s that?” The children worked all day. They cut out shapes from the cardboard boxes. Wilf tied the sheet between two tr ees. “What are you doing?” Dad asked. “It’s a surprise,” said Wilma. There was a golden sunset that evening. The children had put down lots of candles in jars. “How

beautiful!” said Mum. “It’s like magic!” gasped Dad. Suddenly Biff turned up the lamp. The sheet glowed. The play began. It was about elves. The elves were cardboard puppets. Wilf and Chip moved the puppets around. Biff did the elves’ voices. Wilma played the guitar. They all sang songs. It was a good story. It was funny and sad. It made Mum laugh and Day cry. The play had finished. Everyone bowed. “Hooray!” shouted Mum. “Well done!’ “Now,” said Dad. “I’ve got a surprise.” “What is it?” asked Wilma. “You’ll see,” said Dad. They went back to the cottage. It was pitch black. “We can’t see anything,” said Wilf. “I said ‘you’ll see’ and now you can,” said Dad. He turned on the power. Dad laughed. “Surprise!” he said. “I wanted you to enjoy the holiday without TV. There was no power cut.” “Turn it off again,” said the children. “We can do without it.”

7-14 Australian Adventure

Floppy had not been for a walk. “We should take Floppy out,” said Mum. Chip groaned, “Walking Floppy is boring.” “Well, you could bring the boomerangs,” said Mu. Biff threw her boomerang really hard. It flew up into the sky. “I’ll show them I’m not boring!” thought Floppy. “I’ll make them laugh.” Floppy chased after the boomerang. Suddenly it turned in the air. Floppy turned as well. “Mind the pond!” shouted Mum. “Too late!” laughed Chip. Splash! Floppy landed in the pond. “Oh Floppy, you’re filthy!” said Mum. Everyone laughed. Floppy was pleased. “At least I made them laugh,” he thought. Floppy was not so pleased when he got home. Mum wanted to give him a wash. “Let’s use the hose-pipe,” she said. “Oh no!” thought Floppy. Flop py hid under Biff’s bed. “Why do I need a wash?” he thought. “Dogs like being dirty.” Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. It was time for a new adventure. “Dogs don’t have magic adventures by themselves, do they?” thought Floppy. “Well, it’s better than a bath.” The magic key took Floppy to Australia. It took him to a red desert. The sand was hot. It hurt Floppy’s paws. Suddenly, a boomerang flew over his head. Whoosh! Another one landed next to him. Then Floppy saw some men. “Go away you dirty dingo!” t hey shouted. Floppy ran away. The men chased him. He ran past some rocks. “Quick!” said a voice. “Hide here!” The men ran past. Behind the rocks were four dogs. They all laughed at Floppy. “What floppy ears!” said one of them. “What’s your name?” asked ano ther. “Floppy,” said Floppy. “My name is Red,” said Red. “This is Ginger, she’s Amber, and he’s called Tan. We’re dingos.” “What’s a dingo?” asked Floppy. “That’s what men call us,” said Amber. “Why did they chase me?” asked Floppy. The dingos looked sad. “We used to be friends,” said Tan. “But now men don’t like us because we have fleas.” “We’ll show you,” said Red. The dingos took Floppy to a cave. On the walls of the cave were paintings. Some of the paintings were of animals Floppy had never seen before. “These are very old paintings,” said Amber. “They show a time when men and dingos lived together.” “We used to help men get food and sleep near their fires,” said Red. “If only we didn’t have fleas,” said Tan. Outside the cave it was getting dark. The nig ht was cold. Far away, the men had lit a fire. “Let’s hide near the men,” said Red. One of the men was telling a story. It was about a time long ago, when the world began. “Those times long ago were called. The Dreamtime,” whispered Amber. The story was ab out a creature called a kangaroo. The kangaroo wanted to steal fire from men. Floppy was tired. He closed his

eyes. He began to dream. In Floppy’s dream he met a strange animal with a long tail. It looked

like one of the cave paintings. “What’s your name?”asked Floppy. “They call me Kangaroo,” he said. Kangaroo wanted to make a fire. He rubbed two sticks together. “This is how men make fire,” he said. Suddenly, The sticks caught fire. It made Kangaroo jump. He dropped the sticks. The dry grass caught fire. The fire spread quickly. Kangaroo jumped up and down. “It’s hot! It’s hot!” he said. “Run to the water-hole,” said Floppy. All the animals ran to the water-hole. As they went into the water, fleas began to jump off their backs. “Ah! Fleas don’t like getting wet!” thought Floppy. Floppy woke up. He had an idea. He crept up to one of the men and picked up his boomerang. “I have a plan,” Floppy said to the dingos. “I think Ican get rid of your fleas.” “You can?” said Amber. “Then we can make friends with the men.” “We need to find a water-hole,” said Floppy. “Follow us,” said Red. They walked for a long time. At last, they got to the water-hole. “Pick up the boomerang,” said Floppy. “And walk backwards into the water.” Ginger walked backwards into the water. The fleas on his legs began to crawl on to his back. They did not want

to get wet. “Keep going!” said Floppy. Ginger went deeper. Soon his back was under the water. The fleas crawled on to his head. They did not want to get wet. All the fleas were now on Gi nger’s head. “Now put your head under the water,” said Floppy. Ginger lay down in the water. The fleas crawled up his nose and on to the boomerang. “Let go of the boomerang!” said Floppy. The boomerang floated away. The fleas stayed on the boomerang. “Hooray!” cheered the dingos. “Now we can all get rid of our fleas and make friends with the men,” said Amber. “I hope so,” said Floppy. The magic key began to glow. It was time for Floppy to go home. “Oh no!” said Floppy. “I didn’t bring anything back from my adventure.” Floppy heard Mum calling. She was still in the garden. “Floppy! It’s bath-time,” she said. Mum washed Floppy with the hose-pipe. “Fleas!” she said. “How did you get fleas?” Floppy picked up the boomerang. “I’m off to the park,” he thought. “I n eed to find a water-hole!”

7-15 The Riddle Stone Part 1

Dad had pulled up some floorboards. “Hello!” he said. “What’s this?” Under the floor was a stone. It had some strange writing on it. Dad was going to throw the stone away, but Chip wanted to keep it. “Look at this,” he said to Biff. “Do you think the writing is Chinese?” “I don’t know,” said Biff. Chip took the stone to school. He showed it to a boy called Hong. “It is written in Chinese,” said Hong. “I can’t read it, but my grandfather can. Hong’s gr andfather always came after school to take Hong home. Chip showed him the stone. “Yes, it is Chinese,” said Hong’s grandfather. “It says, ‘ Do you Mind?’” “What a strange question,” said Biff. “It may be a riddle,” said Hong’s grandfather. “See! The stone is broken. Maybe the answer is on the other half.” Chip gave Hong the stone to keep. He put it in his bag. “May Hong come round to play with us?” asked Biff. “All right,” said Hong’s grandfather. They went to play in Biff’s room. “What is a riddle?” asked Chip. “It’s a puzzle in words,” said Hong. “Here is a good riddle,” said Hong. “How do you spell ‘hungry horse’ using only four letters?” “We don’t know,” said Biff. “It’s easy,” laughed Hong. “M T G G. Here’s another riddle. What is this? The more it dries the more it gets wet.” Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The magic took them to a rocky valley. Four paths met. There was a signpost

pointing four ways. Each way pointed to Riddle Mountain. A boy was sitting on a rock. “My name is Ty,” he said. “I want to go to Riddle Mountain, but I don’t know which path to tack. I can’t think of the answer to this riddle.” The riddle was on a tall post. It said, “It’s only one colour, but it can grow. Sticks to your feet, wherever you go. There in the sun, not in the rain. Never does harm, never feels pain.” “The answer is a shadow,” said Hong. “Look at the shadow of the post. It points up that path. That must be the way.” “Are you sure?” asked Biff. “Yes, it’s a riddle,” said Ty. “Let’s go!” “It is hard to get to Riddle Mountain,” said Ty. “It will be dangerous. I may never get there.” “Then why do you have to go?” asked Biff. “I want to be the Riddle Maker,” said Ty. “I have to get to Riddle Mountain. I have to answer all the riddles on the way. The last riddle is the hardest. No one has ever found the answer.” Suddenly, a huge giant stood in the way. “I hope he’s friendly,” said Chip. “Answer this riddle and you can pass by,” roared the giant. “Write down how much I weigh,” he said. “But he must weigh tonnes!” said Biff. “No, it’s a riddle,” said Hong. “I can do it.” He wrote down the answer. “Good luck in the Land of Riddle,” said the giant. “What did you write down?” asked Chip. “I wrote the words ‘how much I weigh’,” said Hong. It was not far to the top of the h ill. Suddenly, a dragon stood in the way. “I hope he’s friendly,” said Hong. “Look!” said Biff. “There are bubbles coming out of his mouth!” The dragon spoke. “Over there is Riddle Mountain,” it said. “You have a long way to go.” “Help!” said Ty. “The journey looks dangerous.” Below was a black lake. Across the lake, the land was dry and rocky. Beyond, there was a deep river and dark forest. Far away was a tall, grey mountain. Huge bubbles came out of the dragon’s jaws. “Answer this riddle,” it said. “How many sides does a bubble have?” “That’s easy,” said Hong. “It has two.” “The inside and the outside,” he said. “Good,” said the dragon. “Now step inside this bubble.” Hong stepped into the bubble. It began to float away. “Step into a bubble,” yelled Hong. T hey all stepped inside the bubbles and floated up and up. “This is scary,” said Biff. “What if the bubbles pop?” They floated on and on. At last, they began to float down to the black lake. “I hope the bubbles don’t pop here,” yelled Chip. Then the bubbles popped and the children fell into the lake. Suddenly, a huge serpent rose out of the water. “I don’t like this adventure,” said Biff. “What is this?” said the serpent, “the more it dries, the more it gets wet?” “It’s easy,” said Hong. “It’s a towel.” “Good,” said the serpent. “Now climb on my back.” The serpent swan across the lake. “How do you know the answer to all these riddles, Hong?” asked Ty. “I don’t know,” said Hong. “They just come to me.” Goblins were waiting for the children. They pulled and pin ched them. “Ouch! That hurts,” said Chip. “Ha! You won’t answer the next riddle,” said one of the goblins. The goblins put the children in a cage. One of the goblins stole the magic key. “Oh no!” said Biff. “Now we can’t get back from this adventure.” The Goblin King spoke to them. “Answer this,” he said. “How do you want to die?” “We don’t want to die,” said Chip. Hong began to laugh. “It’s not funny,” said Biff. “We don’t want to die.” “It’s a riddle,” said Hong. “Don’t worry.

I know the answer.”

牛津阅读树学习心得文档 前言语料：温馨提醒，报告一般是指适用于下级向上级机关汇报工作，反映情况，答复上级机关的询问。按性质的不同，报告可划分为：综合报告和专题报告；按行文的直接目的不同，可将报告划分为：呈报性报告和呈转性报告。体会指的是接触一件事、一篇文章、或者其他什么东西之后，对你接触的事物产生的一些内心的想法和自己的理解 本文内容如下：【下载该文档后使用Word打开】 牛津阅读树学习心得篇1 我们家是从去年9月份左右开始读牛津树，到现在已经坚持了快要一年了。两个娃一个当时3岁一个5岁，从Stage1已经阅读到stage6了。 在这期间也买过好多其他的英文读物，但是孩子们就喜欢牛津树，所以几乎这9个月的时间都是在读这套分级读物。 我的孩子从0起点到现在的突飞猛进，全拜这套书，这是我们接触的分级读物中最好的，没有之一。 据说牛津树是教材，有人就当做真正上课的教材给孩子教。 我觉得这个是对牛津树极大的误解。我们是这样有效且快乐的阅读的： 1.阅读它没有任何功利，享受绘本的无穷乐趣，牛津树的乐趣是绝无仅有的。 我根本没有看什么阅读指导，只是专注于亲子阅读中是否得

到了快乐。不得不说，牛津树是我们购买的所有绘本中最搞笑和有趣的。而且你需要善于发现。阅读的时候不要在意孩子学会了多少英文单词，而是我们是否每次都有乐趣。生活化可以模拟的情节、经常偷看的邻居叔叔、搞笑的经常飞起的帽子、时不时出现的眼镜、在背后搞笑的Floopy。每次拿出一本新书，孩子们就欢呼着一起来找这些“包袱”。 牛津树的画面非常丰富，我们常常会讨论里面的细节。例如Thefrightinthenight这本书，孩子们会模仿Biff的恶作剧，会讨论书中说的两个bedroom是哪两个，会研究Gran的卧室和厨房里面都有些什么和我们家有什么不同。牛津树真是非常精致的一本书，你会发现每个孩子和大人都有固定的穿着，孩子们有固定喜欢的玩具等等，何等精细的制作! 2.安排个合适的阅读时间 我是安排在睡前半小时阅读，孩子们每次读完书就必须去睡觉。孩子们读完有些恋恋不舍，就会要求我再读读Beforereading 和Afterreading。通过读Beforereading，孩子们掌握了常见字。现在孩子可以自主阅读牛津树。我3岁的儿子已经可以自主阅读到Stage5，女儿可以自主阅读到Stage3or4. 孩子们还将Stage5中的一个故事带去参加CCTV英语风采比赛。 3.安排合适的时间听音频 坐车在路上是个非常无聊的时刻，我刻录了牛津树的音频在车上。牛津树的音频有的部分挺搞笑，孩子们听了会嘎嘎大笑。

Biff and Chip got bigger and bigger and bigger. “Oh no!” said Biff. “Oh help!” said Chip. “It’s the magic,” they said.
