The town of Horsmarlonerpool was in crisis. No-body knew what to do, because a terrible thing had happened. There was a shortage of smashberries.

Smashberries are the fruit that only grow around Horsmarlonerpool so you can’t get any more from anywhere else. And that meant that Lord and Lady Devonroe couldn’t have smashberry sandwiches. And Mr Dennis couldn’t sell smashberry ice cream in Peacock Park. And nobody could get a refreshing drinking of smashberryaide to cool them down.
