Ben Neal, top trickster, signing in . . .
Max and I rushed off to the church really early last Saturday morning to see what prank Toby was going to play on the choir. Toby was waiting for us in the porch and Cyrus was with him. They wouldn’t tell us what the trick was going to be. It was a surprise.
We all crept into the church and hid behind the font. The choir were sitting in rows, warbling some soppy song about love (yuck!) for a wedding (double yuck!). Cyrus crept up behind them and started singing along – and you all know what happens when Cyrus uses his special power! Max and I stuffed our fingers in our ears, but the whole choir slowly fell asleep and slid off their seats!
Then Toby and Cyrus started running round putting animal masks on everyone. They said they’d borrowed them from the dressing up box at school. When the choir woke up there was a terrible panic. One of the elephants started a stampede for the door, followed by three zebras and a newt.
Toby said it was better than watching TV.
Signing off now. Max has just arrived. We’ve decided to make a surprise cake for Lucinda Tellingly Supersneak. It’s going to have something very special in it. (Well, she shouldn’t have said our model of a T-rex looked more like a pigeon with measles.)
More next week . . . Hee hee hee!
