No Two Rings the Same Grandpa In My Pocket

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

Grandpa!

No! Be careful!

VROOM!

Grandpa, stop!

Whoa!

CRASH!

'Today we were in the garden.

'Mum was painting a picture of the flowers.

'Jemima was reading a book about ballet.

'And I was playing trains with Grandpa.

'Dad was in the bike shop. He was very busy sending out orders,

'of Mr Mentor the Inventor's latest invention.

'Now, Mr Mentor the Inventor lives in the lighthouse, in Sunnysands.

'He's always coming up with really crazy inventions.

'Like this, the Grassy Buggle-Jumper.

'Only the bugs liked it even more than he did.

'Then, there's this. The Automatic Hair-o-static,

'that gives you a new hair style every day.

'And this...

'the Huffer-Puffer Pillow Fluffer.'

CHUG-CHUG, WHIRR-WHIRR!

WHIZZ! BOOM!

'Everyone loves going to visit him and trying things out.

'And he likes trying out other people's inventions, too.

'And now he had invented these. Mr Mentor calls it...

'The Brillioso Bicycle Bell.

'Mr Mentor doesn't just invent things, he invents words as well.

'Every Brillioso Bicycle Bell had a funny ring.

'And of all the bells in the bike shop, there were...'

I wonder if there's a Brillioso Bicycle Bell that goes,

Quack, quack! Quack, quack!

Yes, or BRRRRR!

Or, NEEEOOW!

Or...

BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE!

'Mr Liker Biker arrived, on his way to the beach.'

Oh, Mr Liker Biker, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.

Please excuse us, we were pretending to be Brillioso Bicycle Bells.

Brillioso Bicycle Bells?

Mr Mentor's invention. Every bell makes a different sound.

Oh, I like a bell with a resounding ring.

Well, the bike shop's full of them. You can take your pick.

I'll go there right now.

Maybe not now, Dad's really busy.

Everybody wants bells and he's sending out orders.

Then the sooner I get there, the better. He might sell out!

'Before we could stop him, he was gone.'

I think I'll just go for a little lie down.

'I knew what Grandpa was thinking. I followed him inside.'

If Mr Liker Biker is going to be choosing bells,

then Dad is going to need my help.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

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

Grandpa!

'He can take off in my plane.

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

VROOM! SCREECH!

'He can chuff around in our Sunnysands train.

'And this time...

'he decided to fly on Gordon, my toy seagull.

'I'm the only one who knows about Grandpa's magic shrinking cap.

'And nobody else must find out.

'I didn't like Grandpa going to the bike shop alone.

'I had to make sure he didn't get into trouble.'

Mum, perhaps I should go and help Dad?

No need, Jason. He said he'd be better off without us.

'There was nothing I could do.

'I just had to leave it to Grandpa.'

Whoa! Look out, Gordon!

-Have you any particular ring in mind?

-Not really.

Thought I'd try them all, then choose.

-You want to try them all?

-Yes.

-Careful!

Some of those are saved for customers.

'Luckily, they were so busy looking at the bells,

'they didn't see Grandpa flying in.

'Or, landing...

'or, running...

'..or hiding behind a row of puncture repair kits.'

Ah!

TRUMPET PLAYS

Oh! That is a good one.

'Dad was never going to finish sending his orders at this rate.

'Grandpa needed to get Mr Liker Biker away

'from the Brillioso Bicycle Bells.

'The problem was, how?

'And then he remembered.

'It's not just bells Mr Liker Biker likes.'

Ooh! I like a bike with silver trim.

Ooh! I like a saddle with comfy padding.

Ooh! I like a helmet with sparkly stars on it.

'Mr Liker Biker likes everything to do with cycling.

'Grandpa was running along the top shelf.

'If he could get Mr Liker Biker interested in something else,

'then Dad could get on with packing up the bells.

'First he tried to get him interested in cycling shorts.'

Ooh! Are those cycling shorts? Let me see.

Oh, yes. I like a pair of shorts with extra stretch!

Now, those bells...

'Then, Grandpa tried to get him interested in a cycling top.'

Ooh! Is that a cycling top?

Oh, yes! I like a top with a nice long zipper.

Why don't you try them on? Take as long as you like.

'Now Mr Liker Biker had something to try on,

'Dad could go back to sorting out the bells.

'Grandpa's plan was working.

'But it wasn't working for long.'

Ooh, it's a bit tight around the arms.

-That's because you've still got your armbands on.

-What? Eh?

Oh, yes! So I have!

I thought I was looking a bit muscly.

Please can I go and help Dad, Mum? Please?

He doesn't need any help, Jason. I'm sure he's doing absolutely fine.

'I had a nasty feeling that he wasn't doing absolutely fine.

'And I was right.'

No, no, no, no! Don't touch those!

'Mr Liker Biker was messing everything up.

'Grandpa had to do something.

CRASH!

-How did that happen?

-Oh, I don't know.

It's almost as if they're saying, "Come over here! Come over here!"

Ooh! I like a Roaring Tiger H5642.

-Well, please take a long look at it.

-Thanks, I will.

Oh, yes, I'll take it!

And as I'm buying a Roaring Tiger H5642,

I should have a bell that goes "ROAR!"

-I think that one's already been sold.

-Oh.

I've got to print some labels, can you wait?

-No worries, I'll look for one.

-No, no! Please, wait.

-Don't touch anything.

-Right, OK. I won't.

Oh yes, very nice.

'So Dad went out the back to print off some more labels.

'Leaving Mr Liker Biker alone in the bike shop.

'At least, he thought he was alone.

'Grandpa knew Mr Liker Biker wouldn't be able

'to keep his hands off the bells for long.

'Grandpa ran for the maps and travel books. He hid behind them...

'and started to push them off.'

Ooh! I like to know how to get from A to B.

I wonder what other maps there are?

'Any moment, Mr Liker Biker was going to see Grandpa!

'Grandpa made a quick getaway and jumped in the bag.'

Oh dear. Oh.

BRRRR.

Are you OK, Mr Liker Biker?

Ooh! I like a map of Sunnysands and surrounding areas.

Excellent, perhaps you'd like to take your new bike and map

-and go for a ride?

-Oh, you just try and stop me!

All I need now is a new bell. It's so hard to choose.

-I think I'd better listen to them all again.

-No, no! Tell you what,

let me choose for you. I've got one here that makes the perfect sound.

OOH!

Ooh! I like a bell that goes, "Ooh!"

Thought you might. Take it, and show Jemima and Jason.

'And Dad put Mr Liker Biker's bell into the bag that Grandpa was in!'

Thank you.

'The good news was...Mr Liker Biker had finally left the bike shop.

'The bad news was...so had Grandpa.'

I'm back!

And guess what I've got! A Brillioso Bicycle Bell.

-I thought you might.

-Would you like to hear it?

'He was just about to open it, when we all heard this...'

BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE!

Grandpa makes a noise just like that!

BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE!

'If Mr Liker Biker opened the bag, then everyone would see Grandpa.'

BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE! BRUBBLE!

Don't worry, I can help.

'I whipped the bell out of the bag and handed it to Mr Liker Biker.'

It looks fine to me, Mr Liker Biker.

OOH!

'While the others were all having fun with the bell...

'I dashed inside, with Grandpa in the bag.

'At last it was safe for Grandpa to come out.'

Grandpa!

Phew! That was close.

Cap off, Grandpa, quick!

Well done for getting Mr Liker Biker out of the shop.

-Well done for getting me out of the bag. Teamwork, eh?

-Teamwork!

'Later, Mr Liker Biker went off for a ride around Sunnysands.

'And Dad came back home.'

I managed to get all my orders done. Even with Mr Liker Biker there.

You see, Jason? I said Dad would be better off without us.

-There was no need to worry.

-Oh, no. Never any need to worry.
