Three weeks ago, Kit and his younger sister Kaolin had read about a competition in the Horsmarlonerpool Trumpeter newspaper to see who could send in the best story. It could be about anything, so they’d both planned out an exciting adventure about a family of octopuses who lived deep in the Albion Sea. Kaolin had typed it up, and then they’d e-mailed it in on their pooter. I mean their computer.
Then, just yesterday, there was an announcement in the newspaper saying that they’d won first prize. And TODAY that prize arrived outside their house in a big truck. It was an enormous trampoline.
