somebody’s allotment, landed directly on top of a group of escaped dastardly criminals, securing them behind bars where they belong.
Also, a woman with a terrible cold and a very runny nose was showered with soft tissues and cough sweets from an exploding pharmacy.
Pharmacy:
A chemist for farmers. They have special nurses who can handle angry farmers and understand strong country accents.
The final explosion of the day happened directly behind Lady Orange’s car which was running in last place. The blast catapulted her several times around the track, overtaking all the remaining competitors including a furious Studs, and straight into first position. Lady Orange was terribly shocked to be suddenly leading the race and desperately tried to slow down and let her competitors overtake her again. The blast from the final explosion had given her so much speed that she just shot across the finish line, winning the race and the million pound prize money!!
The crowd erupted and fireworks flew through the air as everybody started celebrating.
Lady Orange was extremely embarrassed about winning the race and went very red as she accepted the peg shaped trophy and the prize money.
Luckily for all the Possum Road residents, as Lady Orange is so generous, she decided to spend the prize money on new vehicles for all her unfortunate neighbours. She even offered to pay for Max’ ghost-car to be repaired at the local haunted garage. The Possum Road neighbours were so happy, that they picked up Lady Orange and carried her around for the rest of the day. They also promised to drink more orange juice in future.
As David was the Race Manager, he had organised a party for all the competitors to celebrate the end of the Bottomhamsted Main Event and also to thank Lady Orange for her great generosity. The party went on late into the night and everybody danced to the very latest dance craze which had just been named
‘Worms and Insects up Your Trousers’.
Just when David thought the day couldn’t get any better. ‘ZAP’ Sunita the Space Girl arrived.
“Sorry I didn’t see you again, I went to visit my Auntie in Spacehamsted which is in a different time zone, then I was erased from history” she hurriedly explained.
David was totally cock-a-hoop to see Sunita again, and was so happy to be living in the flatulent village of Bottomhamsted.
Cock-a-hoop:
A very cheery mood. A frame of mind experienced by fearless and endlessly jolly people. Not to be confused with ‘Hoop-a-Cock’ which is a game involving hoops and a chicken.
The End!
