Chapter Three
If anyone had told Alfie that what was going to happen next was
going to happen next, he would never have believed it.
There he was the next morning with Grandad’s Automatic Back
Massager in its box all ready to go to school, when a terrible
commotion came from the bathroom.
It was Grandad.
“What is it, Grandad?” said Lily and Mum.
“What’s up, Grandad?” said Alfie and Dad.
Grandad, dressed and ready to set off to school with Alfie with
his invention, was looking very worried.
“It’sh my new falsh teeth!” he said in a strange voice. “I only put
‘em down for a moment. I musht have knocked ‘em.”
Mum gasped. Poor Grandad. He couldn’t speak properly without
his teeth.
“You don’t mean...” she said
Grandad nodded.
“I’m afraid sho!” said Grandad. “’hey’ve fallen in the ‘oilet. Gone!
Flushed away.”
