Plan plan plan is what me and Yeller and Mister Marvo are up to, phew. Smells will not help, he only likes counting gold.

These are our best IAs so far (short for Instant Adventures).

Mister Marvo said did we want BANGS-U-LIKE ADVENTURE which is like a forest? You creep through it and loads of pretend hunters jump out and shoot their guns at you. Yeller said “GOOD IDEA, I LOVE LOUDNESS.”

But I said, “No, that is enough IAs for now.”

I did not want to say I am v scared of bangs, but all of a suddenly, Mister Marvo said softly, “Look deep into my eyes, my boy, and tell me. Are bangs your worst thing?” Just then Yeller did a loud sneeze, lucky for me. It made me jump plus it stopped me giving away my secret.

So Mister Marvo said, “Well done, my boy, it is plain that you do not fear bangs. Naturally you are thinking of your pupils, who will not all be as fearless as you. By the way, the Instant Adventures you have selected will cost 3 wheelbarrowsful of gold, paid in advance.”

I said, “What, before you build anything? Good joke har har.”

Then Mister Marvo got quite snarly. It made his beard slip a bit and show his sharp teeth. But quick as a chick he hid them, saying he would build us a nice X-ample of his marvellous work, a TARZAN ZIPWIRE. Good, eh?

Yours proudly,
