0:00:02 > 0:00:04Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:00:06 > 0:00:07Catch me if you can!

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Grandpa!

0:00:17 > 0:00:19No! Be careful!

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Grandpa, stop!

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Whoa...!

0:00:37 > 0:00:38CRASH!

0:00:48 > 0:00:52'Dad and Jemima had taken Beowulf for a long walk,

0:00:52 > 0:00:56'so I decided to stay at home and play with Grandpa.'

0:00:56 > 0:00:59All aboard!

0:00:59 > 0:01:02'It doesn't matter what we play. Grandpa makes it fun.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06'We thought we were going to have fun all day

0:01:06 > 0:01:08'until guess who turned up -

0:01:08 > 0:01:10'Floyd.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14'He lives in the house opposite and he goes to my school.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17'He loves boasting.'

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Look at my new watch!

0:01:19 > 0:01:20I'm gonna get you!

0:01:20 > 0:01:22'He loves playing jokes.'

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Boo! Boo! Boo!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28'And he always wants everything his own way.'

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Ha ha, got you!

0:01:30 > 0:01:32'Grandpa agrees with me.'

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Jason!- Yeah, what? - Check out my new skateboard!

0:01:35 > 0:01:38'Floyd is a big, spoilt show-off.'

0:01:41 > 0:01:46'And the thing he was showing off about today was this...'

0:01:46 > 0:01:50What do you think of my brand new bike, eh? Is it cool or what?

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Pretty cool.- Pretty cool?

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Don't you mean totally, unbelievably cool?!

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Been playing choo-choo trains with your Grandpa?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Let's have a look.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Ha! This is so babyish!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09I grew out of trains years ago.

0:02:09 > 0:02:15'Floyd is always breaking my toys. I didn't want him playing here.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17'I needed to get him out of the house.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18'I had an idea.'

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Mum! Please can you take us out on our bikes?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24'Yes. We were going to spend the day...'

0:02:28 > 0:02:33If you're going for a bike ride, I'm going to have a little lie down.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35'I knew what Grandpa was thinking.'

0:02:36 > 0:02:37Hello, Floyd.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42I don't trust that Floyd one bit. I'm coming too.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Catch me if you can!

0:02:50 > 0:02:56'When Grandpa shrinks, he can get up to all kinds of mischief.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58'He can fly off in my plane...'

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Grandpa!

0:03:08 > 0:03:11'He can drive off in my car...

0:03:13 > 0:03:17'Or he can run so fast that I can't catch him.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21'Before I could stop him, Grandpa ran back into the garden,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23'and hid behind a flower pot.'

0:03:23 > 0:03:27It was the most expensive bike in the whole shop.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's got 57 gears!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I don't think a bike can have 57 gears.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Mine does.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35RATTLING

0:03:35 > 0:03:37What was that?

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Something's wrong.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41The chain's come off. Oh, dear.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Can't you mend it?

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Hmmm... Better wait until Jason's dad gets back. He'll fix it.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- I don't want to wait. I want to go on a bike ride NOW!- OK.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55We've got a spare bike you can borrow. I'll go and dig it out.

0:03:56 > 0:04:02'So, Mum went off to the garage and soon came back with this...'

0:04:06 > 0:04:08You have got to be joking!

0:04:08 > 0:04:12There's nothing wrong with it. It's perfectly safe.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Go on! Give it a try.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22I can't ride this! This is a girl's bike. It's useless.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25'Before I could stop him, he was making for the train.'

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Mind the train!

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Argh!

0:04:28 > 0:04:29CRASH!

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Agh, help!

0:04:30 > 0:04:33I've broken my leg! Argh!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35It's all your fault, Jason.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40You and your stupid choo-choo train!

0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's all right. I don't think it's broken.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46'Mum helped Floyd to his feet and took him inside.'

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Ow! Ow!

0:04:47 > 0:04:50'He was making a whopping great fuss.'

0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Now we're stuck with him, Grandpa. - I don't think he's really hurt,

0:05:01 > 0:05:03- and I'm going to find out.- OK.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Be careful. Don't let him see you!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Argh! My leg!

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Have a Jammy Jumbley, it'll take your mind off the pain.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16'Mum was so busy being kind to Floyd,

0:05:16 > 0:05:18'and Floyd was so busy being rude to Mum,

0:05:18 > 0:05:22'that neither of them saw Grandpa. He hid behind the sofa.'

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Jason, would you fetch Floyd a drink?- Yes, I'll get one.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Brrr! Brrr!- Oh, are you cold?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Must be the shock. I'll get a blanket.

0:05:35 > 0:05:41'I was in the kitchen and Mum was upstairs, so Floyd was on his own.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45'At least, he THOUGHT he was on his own.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48'He lept off the sofa and grabbed another Jammy Jumbley.'

0:05:51 > 0:05:53I knew it!

0:05:56 > 0:06:01'Grandpa was right! Floyd really hadn't hurt himself at all.'

0:06:02 > 0:06:05You love that train, don't you?

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I can't see why. It doesn't do anything. It's useless.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23'Grandpa wants me to put him in my pocket and take him upstairs.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26'He needed to talk to me.'

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Just getting Floyd some comics. - Oh. OK.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Floyd hasn't hurt his leg at all. He's pretending.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45I saw him run across the room and grab a Jammy Jumbley.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50- I'm telling Mum.- She won't believe it unless she sees it herself.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54I've got to find a way to get him off that sofa, and this time,

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Mum has got to see it.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- How are you going to do that? - Just leave him on his own with me.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'll find a way.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11'Grandpa ran out of my bedroom and slid down the banisters.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16'I went the safer way and gave Floyd the Captain Dumbletwit comics.'

0:07:16 > 0:07:17What took you so long?

0:07:17 > 0:07:20There. I made you some sandwiches, Floyd.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23That might get you up and about.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25And I'll bring you some fruit, too.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28'Now, I needed to get out of the way,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31'so Grandpa could catch Floyd out.'

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Shall we play the Captain Dumbletwit board game?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36If we have to.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40'I ran upstairs to fetch the game. Now, it was time for Grandpa

0:07:40 > 0:07:42'to put his plan into action.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46'Grandpa was jiggling Jemima's rag doll.'

0:07:48 > 0:07:50FLOYD GULPS

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Floyd, don't try and get up. What do you want?

0:07:56 > 0:07:59That doll...

0:07:59 > 0:08:00You want the doll?

0:08:00 > 0:08:03No! I mean...

0:08:03 > 0:08:05It was dancing!

0:08:07 > 0:08:11You don't feel feverish. Still, I better take your temperature.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15'Mum rushed upstairs and I rushed downstairs,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17'with the Captain Dumbletwit game.

0:08:17 > 0:08:22'Mum still hadn't caught Floyd out. Grandpa would have to try again.'

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I'm going to wash my hands. - Hurry up!

0:08:25 > 0:08:27'I had to get out of the way.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31'You know how Grandpa can use his magic to make my toys go?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34'Now he was in our Sunnysands train.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36'Floyd couldn't believe his eyes.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39'He was about to get up and follow it when...'

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I knew I had one somewhere. Open wide!

0:08:42 > 0:08:44And close.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47The train! It moves! It moves!

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Shh. Keep it shut tight.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51I've got another idea.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54You're going to have to get Mum out of the way again.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55OK. Leave it to me.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00'I went back into the sitting room, and so did Grandpa.'

0:09:02 > 0:09:07- Temperature's normal...- Jason, is that train remote controlled?- No.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Then how come it was going all around the room by itself?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- There was smoke coming out! - Maybe I should call the doctor.- No!

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Maybe we should try and fix Floyd's bike.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20That might make him feel better.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yes, it would.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26OK. We'll give it a try.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29You can read the Captain Dumbletwit comics.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31And finish your sandwiches.

0:09:31 > 0:09:36'Off we went, into the garden. Now it was up to Grandpa.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41'Floyd reached forward towards the sandwiches.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45'Grandpa was about to give him the surprise of his life!'

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Argh!

0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'm gonna get you!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54'First Floyd chased the sandwich. Then...

0:09:54 > 0:09:57'the sandwich chased Floyd, all around the room,

0:09:57 > 0:09:59'and into the kitchen...'

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Stop, please!

0:10:00 > 0:10:04I don't like to be chased by a sandwich. Please!

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Argh! Please, stop!

0:10:07 > 0:10:09'..And out into the garden.'

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Help! Help!

0:10:13 > 0:10:15JASON LAUGHS

0:10:15 > 0:10:16Help!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Floyd! You're running.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Were you pretending to be hurt?

0:10:22 > 0:10:23No!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26OK... Yes, I was. I'm sorry.

0:10:26 > 0:10:31I shouldn't have. I just didn't want to ride that tatty old bike.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35I see. And what made you stop pretending?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37I was chased by a sandwich!

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Chased by a sandwich? Oh, Floyd! You're pretending again.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44That's very funny. Chased by a sandwich.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Can we go on that bike ride now?

0:10:46 > 0:10:50I don't care which bike, just get me out of here!

0:10:50 > 0:10:54'I picked up Grandpa, while Mum was putting Floyd's helmet on,

0:10:54 > 0:10:57'and took him into the sitting room.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03'He whipped off his shrinking cap and came back to his normal size.'

0:11:03 > 0:11:07We did it, Jason! We got Floyd to stop pretending.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09That's what I call teamwork!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Yes! Teamwork!

0:11:11 > 0:11:12THEY LAUGH

0:11:12 > 0:11:16'So, Mum took Floyd and me on a bike ride to the beach,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19'and this time, Grandpa stayed at home.'

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Jason, how'd it go? - It went fine. Grandpa.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Floyd didn't show off, play tricks or anything! We had a good time.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Marvellous!

0:11:29 > 0:11:32I found these behind a plant pot. How odd.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Maybe Floyd really was being chased by a sandwich!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40BOTH: Phew.
