Chaos in the Cafe Grandpa In My Pocket

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

Grandpa!

No! Be Careful!

Grandpa, stop!

Oh!

CRASH!

"Thank you, Captain Dumbletwit," said the Fringle Frangle Lump.

"You have saved the..." A-a-a-choo!

Bless you, Grandpa.

Oh! GRANDPA BLOWS HIS NOSE

'Grandpa couldn't stop sneezing.

'He always gets the sneezes at this time of year

'when the cherry blossom's on the trees.'

Bless you again, Grandpa!

Miss Smiley's asked me to pop into her cafe,

she's had to go away, so Mr Whoops is in charge.

Now, where did I put my bag?

Mr Whoops in charge of the cafe?!

That's the worst idea I've ever heard!

'And Grandpa was right.

'You see...'

-Oh!

-'Mr Whoops is called Mr Whoops

'because he's always having little accidents.

'He drops things.'

Oh!

'He falls over things.'

Whoops!

'He falls off things.'

Whoops!

'He even trips over his own feet.'

Whoops!

'Oh, yes. With Mr Whoops in charge, there was bound to be...'

Now, where did I put it?

Can we come with you? I really fancy an ice cream...

A-a-a-choo!

-Bless you!

-Bless you.

Jason can come, but I don't think you should, Grandpa.

There's so much blossom, you'll sneeze if you go.

-But, Mum!

-I've got to come to the cafe.

Sneezes or no sneezes. Mr Whoops will need my help.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

'When Grandpa shrinks, he can get up to all kind of magical things.

'He can get into my car and make it go.

'He can fly off in my plane.'

Where's Grandpa? Gone for a little lie down, I expect.

'That's what everyone thinks when he goes missing.

'Only I know about his cap.'

Oh! There you are.

Come along, Jason.

'There was nothing for it, I had to go.

'So, off we went in Campo to Miss Smiley's cafe.

'Soon, Mum said...'

I'm glad Grandpa decided not to go out, it was very sensible of him.

'And I thought, "Grandpa? Sensible?!"

'If only she knew!'

A-a-choo!

'Miss Smiley's cafe is the best cafe in the world.

'And today, Mr Whoops had added his own special touch -

'cherry blossom, on the tables, on the counter, everywhere!

'Mr Whoops' ice-cream sundaes were almost as good as Miss Smiley's.'

Just as well Grandpa didn't come,

Mr Whoops has brought the outside inside.

Grandpa would never have stopped sneezing.

A-choo!

'And that was Grandpa sneezing, right now!

'Of course, I had to pretend it was me.'

-A-choo!

-Bless you, Jason.

More strawberry sauce, anybody?

'Mr Whoops had had an accident with the sauce.'

Yes, please.

'Now was my chance to talk to Grandpa.'

You nearly gave yourself away!

I know, I'm sorry. It's all this cherry blossom.

Why don't you go home? Mr Whoops is doing fine,

he doesn't need help.

He will in a minute. Guess who I saw on the pier making her way here.

Lady Prigsbottom!

It's Your Ladyship to you, small boy with an ice-cream moustache.

'This was bad news for Mr Whoops.

'Everyone in Sunnysands knows Lady Prigsbottom.

'She's famous for having a very big house, a very smart car

'and a very straight face.'

What's all this rubbish? This is my table!

Miss Smiley always leaves this free.

Clear it! Make it snappy!

Yes, Your Ladyship. Of course, Your Ladyship.

'Lady Prigsbottom was surprised to see Mr Whoops covered in sauce.'

-Whoops!

-Argh!

Somebody get a cloth!

See what I mean?

Mr Whoops is going to need all the help he can get.

'Mum tried to calm Lady Prigsbottom down

'but it wasn't working.'

I'm sure it will leave a stain.

Sorry about that, Your Ladyship. What can I get you?

I'll have a paradise pineapple pizza,

a chocolate cheesecake,

a big banana shake and make it snappy! Get off!

-Whoops!

-CRASH!

There's only one way to help Mr Whoops and that's to put a smile

on Lady Prigsbottom's face and make her see the funny side of things.

You'll never do it, Grandpa.

Oh, won't I? I have a brilliant plan.

'But there was no time to find out what the plan was.

'Mum was coming back.'

I've got to hide you, Grandpa

A-a-a-choo!

A-a-a-choo!

Bless you! Don't tell me you've got the sneezes too.

Let's get this out of your way.

'This was a disaster! Mum was really close to Grandpa.

'One more sneeze and she'd find him.

'The good news was Grandpa had managed to escape.

'The bad news was that he was going to carry out his plan.'

-You, waiter with the red dribble down your front.

-Whoops!

I want a large leafy salad and make it snappy.

As snappy as a crocodile.

If I wanted to see a clown,

I'd have gone to the circus.

Huh!

'Mr Whoops was working as fast as he could

'and he wasn't the only one.

'Grandpa had made a smiley face on the pizza.

Look! There's a smiley face on this pizza.

I'm sure it wasn't there before.

Everything smiles in Miss Smiley's cafe.

MR WHOOPS LAUGHS

With a bit of luck it will make Lady Prigsbottom smile too.

Huh!

'But she was in no mood for smiling.'

I've never had such appalling service.

We must complain to Miss Smiley when she gets back.

We must write to Mr Krumpgrumble, the taste tester from the town hall.

-A-eh-eh-achoo!

-A-choo!

-Whoops!

-'The sneezing made Mr Whoops jump

'and sent the pizza flying.'

Oh, I'm so sorry...

Get your sticky fingers out of my expensive hairdo too.

I will bypass the first course and go straight for the dessert,

assuming you can keep it on the plate.

Chocolate cheesecake with extra cream, a big banana shake and...

Make it snappy. Yes, of course, Your Bottomship...eh, Ladyship.

It's not your fault, Jason. It's all this blossom.

You can't help it if it makes you sneeze. We should go home.

No, we can't! I, er... I haven't finished my ice-cream sundae.

'I couldn't leave Grandpa now. I was sure he was working on another plan.

'And I was right. He'd made a smiley face on the chocolate cheesecake.'

Would you believe it? Another smiley face!

If this doesn't make Lady Prigsbottom smile, nothing will.

Do go carefully, Mr Whoops.

'Mr Whoops took the smiley chocolate cheesecake

'to show Lady Prigsbottom.

'I was hoping this time Grandpa wouldn't sneeze

'and make Mr Whoops jump but...'

A-choo!

MR WHOOPS LAUGHS

Whoops!

What's so funny?

I am. Look at me. Strawberry sauce, cream, chocolate,

I look like an ice-cream sundae.

Yes, I suppose you do. Ho-ho!

Oh, it's too, too silly. Ho-ho-ho!

Oh, oh, look at me, a-ha-ha!

I look like a boy's birthday tea.

'Grandpa had done it!

'While everyone was laughing, Grandpa sneaked out of the cafe,

'got into my toy plane and flew off.

'He arrived back home just before me and Mum,

'took off his cap and went back to his normal size.

'Just in time too.'

DOOR OPENS

Brilliant plan.

I couldn't have managed without your a-a-a-chooing.

That's what I call teamwork.

Yes, Grandpa. Teamwork!

Such a good job you didn't come with us.

-The cafe was full of blossom. Jason couldn't stop sneezing.

-Really?

-I'll get some tea.

-Good and make it snappy.

Oh, that's what Lady Prigsbottom kept saying. How odd!
