Chapter Three

                             An idea goes wrong


               Poppy’s idea was one of those amazing

            ideas that stop you from sleeping. You


            know what it’s like when you know the next

            day is going to be brilliant. Excitement


            whizzes around in your brain all night. Your

            tummy does somersaults. There’s no way


            of getting to sleep with all that going on.

               None of the Gang got much sleep that


            night then. But Mr Brown did. Sadly he fell

            asleep reading the news AGAIN. This time

            he was in BIG TROUBLE.


               “I’ve had enough of this!” Miss Prune had

            shouted – mainly to wake him up. “I can’t


            have newsreaders who keep falling asleep!”




                                                                        31
