Mr. Theophilius Goon was enjoying a hot cup of tea on his chair as he was sitting down writing a report on how many dogs have been chasing Mr. Cares sheep and was just about to fall asleep when the phone started ringing and is answered by a quite frustrated Goon ' Hello P.C. Goon here ' and then a quite familiar voice answers

' Hello uncle Sid and Perce have had to go on a fishing trip and mum and dad would love to go on a holiday so i wonder if i could stay at your I won't be any bother '

'yes' answered goon in quite an disgruntled voice and hung the phone almost immediately so that he could return to his snooze. Ern was cycling to Peterswood and felt a poem coming into man as he saw an old man struggling to cross the road he called it :

THE PORE OLD MAN

The pore old man.

Drove his black Van,

It went toot toot.

With quite a tune,

Ern felt quite stuck and kept a mental note to ask fatty as he was sure fatty would know what could go next and felt considerably cheerful for someone who is going to stay with Mr. Goon . He felt very happy to see his old friends and buster he only hoped that bingo wouldn't surprise his uncle too much. As Ern cycled round he took a wrong turn and got a puncture

" blow " he shouted as he jumped of his bike bingo not far behind appreciating the rest.

" Well bingo old boy seems like we might be here for a while and started on repairing his bike he didn't even notice When a big black car drove towards him at that moment a shaggy driver who you could tell had not been sleeping enough with a musty old jacket attentive eyes corduroy trousers and a green t-shirt that used to have a design.

" Hey do you know the way to rextan farm " said the man

"No" replied Ern not taking much notice of this at the time but as we'll find out it might be a bit more important than he thinks . As he finally reached his uncles house he saw that his uncle was in quite a good mood

" hello Ern how are you today " asked his uncle as he ate his lunch " plan on doing anything exciting today"

"Well" said Ern reproachfully as he stared at his uncle "I thought I'd visit fatty" and at that moment they heard a woof and Mr. Goon swelled up like he normally did

" Oh so you brought that dastardly dog and planned to hobnob with that fat boy eh" said goon pausing to breathe

" Well I have news for you how about you go to a river their showing some show here's a shilling now run along and take that dog with you " smiled goon with one of his mischievous smiles he left the room to have a nap.

As Ern hurried to the river he saw a few familiar and at the head of this group was fatty.
