Mr Krumpgrumble's Visit Grandpa In My Pocket

.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

Grandpa!

No! Be careful!

Grandpa, stop!

Ohhhh!

'This is me, Jason Mason.

'And this is my house, where I live with my mum, dad,

'sister, and grandpa.'

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

'And today, Grandpa was really excited,

'because we were going to Miss Smiley's cafe.'

The cafe! We're going to the cafe!

Yes, Grandpa!

Yes, hurry up now.

'We were all off to Miss Smiley's cafe,

'Mum, Jemima, Grandpa, me...

'Oh, and Grandpa's sister, Great Aunt Loretta.'

Get a move on, Grandpa!

-I'll bring you back something yummy, Wulfy.

-Grandpa! Jason! Come on!

'So, we all got into Campo, and off we went.'

'And Grandpa said, "Are we nearly there?"

'And Mum said, "Not yet, Grandpa."

'And Grandpa said, "I'm gonna have double choc-chip sundae,

'"and two sponge fingers!" And Aunt Loretta said,

'"You'll be sick, you will!" And Grandpa said,

'"No, I won't.

'"Oooh, I love Miss Smiley's cafe!"

'What Grandpa didn't know

'was that lots of people who love Miss Smiley's cafe

'would be there, because today was

'the day of Mr Krumpgrumble's visit!'

Mr Krumpgrumble?!

He's the taste tester,

from the town hall.

He's coming to taste Miss Smiley's food to see if she deserves a star.

Five gold stars for Miss Smiley, that's what I say!

-Yes!

-Yes!

'Miss Smiley is called Miss Smiley because she's always smiling!

'She has the biggest smile in Sunnysands!

'And what's more, she makes the most delicious treats ever.

'Paradise pineapple pizza... tropical smoothies...

'and cherry chunks...

'and the yummiest ice cream sundaes you've ever tasted!

'Her cafe is the best cafe in the world.

'But today, she wasn't looking like this.

'She was looking...like this.'

Mr Krumpgrumble has closed down more cafes than...

Grandpa's had sponge fingers!

This is the best cafe in the world!

-Thank you, Grandpa.

-We'll soon sort out Mr Krumpgrumble.

THEY GASP

Oh, you will, will you?

I am Cyril Krumpgrumble.

And I do the sorting out around here, not you, you funny old man.

Now, let me see. Where should I start? Oh...

He's dreadful!

Miss Smiley is going to need our help.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Not here! Somebody will see you!

'You know, when Grandpa shrinks,

'he can get up to all kinds of magical things.'

Catch me if you can!

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

'He can ride on Gordon, my toy seagull.

'He can fly off in my plane.'

'Or, he can just run for all he's worth.'

'And this time, he'd run, and I had no idea where he was.

'And then, Mr Krumpgrumble said...'

The paradise pineapple pizza isn't pineapply enough!

THEY GASP

He says it isn't pineapply enough.

The tropical smoothie isn't tropical enough!

He says it's not tropical enough!

And, oh! Torture my taste buds!

The cherry chunks only have one cherry on the top!

THEY GASP

I have to announce that this cafe is a disgrace!

I'm going to close it down!

THEY PROTEST

'Suddenly, I saw where Grandpa was hiding.'

-'But before I could do anything...'

-Ahhh! A rat!

There's a rat! A rat under a cloth! Urrggh!

He's seen a rat! AAHHHHH!

Where are you, you little beast?!

I'll show you, coming in this cafe...

'Suddenly, I saw the "little beast".

'And then, he ran.'

Where are you?

That'll see him off.

THEY CHEER

Mr Krumpgrumble! You are my hero!

'But Mr Krumpgrumble was NOT a hero.

'The rat was still on the loose.'

'Mr Krumpgrumble heard it land.'

-It's back!

-IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK!

All right. Where are you, you little monster?

'But only I knew where the little monster was.

'I needed an idea, and fast!'

It's behind that flowerpot!

'Before I knew it,

'Grandpa had jumped on to the food counter.'

It's gone under that table!

'When I looked back, Grandpa had made the pineapple pizza...

'more pineapply!'

It's behind the curtain!

'And he'd made the tropical smoothie more tropical.

It went in the cupboard!

I'll get you this time, you little whisker twitcher.

AAARRRGGHHH!

CRASH!

'But the little "whisker twitcher"

'had been dealing with the cherry chunks!' Get down, Grandpa!

'Grandpa splashed through the mayonnaise,

'and squelched through the jam

'and skidded across the chocolate.'

That must have scared him off.

Now...it's tasting time.

'Quick as a flash, Grandpa found a hiding place.'

Where's Grandpa?

He's probably in the...

'Great Aunt Loretta won't say the word "toilet" out loud.

'She thinks it's rude.'

-Feeling sick, I bet.

-'I had to let Mum believe he was in the toilet -

'even though I knew he was in a sausage and egg baguette!

'I had a job to do.'

Look, Mr Krumpgrumble.

Ooh!

That pizza is much more pineapply.

And this smoothie is much more tropical!

THEY WHISPER AND GIGGLE

And, oh! The cherry chunks are now plastered with cherries!

Deep joy!

Oh, Jason!

'Of course, I had to pretend I'd done it.'

Things are getting better in here.

Now, I just have to decide what to try first.

'And I was thinking, "Pleeease, let it not be the baguette!"

'NOT the baguette!'

The sausage and egg baguette!

'The bad news was,

'Grandpa was in the baguette.

'The worse news was...'

Would you like it toasted, Mr Krumpgrumble?

-No! It's much better cold.

-Ahh, good advice. I like this boy.

Would you like it cut in half?

-No! It's much better whole.

-Quite right.

Now, what's the best way to eat a baguette?

Um...start at one end, and work your way down to the other.

BUT...everyone close their eyes for the first bite.

Do as the boy says!

'Everyone closed their eyes, and I held my breath.

'Mr Krumpgrumble took a bite...

'and yes! Grandpa shot out of the baguette like a cork from a bottle.

'Off came his cap, and there he was, as good as new.'

Mmmm, yum. Very unusual.

Mayonnaise, jam, and chocolate!

Open your eyes.

Delicious!

What have you been up to, Grandpa?

-Catching a rat, of course!

-Grandpa caught the rat!

So, does Miss Smiley's cafe get five gold stars, Mr Krumpgrumble?

But of course! This is, without doubt,

the best cafe in the world.

THEY CHEER

I knew we could do it, Jason.

-Team work, that's what it is!

-Yep!

Teamwork!

THEY CHUCKLE

'So we all got into Campo,

'and off we went,

'knowing that Miss Smiley's cafe was still

'the best cafe in the world.'

'Later, back home, Grandpa gave Beowulf a cherry chunk,

'which was naughty, because Beowulf isn't really allowed treats.'

We all need treats, Jason. I certainly do - I caught the rat!

I'll pop your shoes in here, Grandpa.

They were filthy - like you'd been paddling in chocolate!
