      Good thing Adventure Acad is snowproof. Outside is all white, Yeller’s worst thing. It made his voice lose some of its loudness. He said to me, “OH NO, LICKLE, NOW MISTER MARVO WON’T COME! THE SNOW IS TERRIBLE!”

      But he did, he came by snowmobile! It is a big shiny one with a propeller behind. Plus cosy glass cabin in front. Mister M is tall and smart with his black coat sticking out at the back and a big fuzzy beard. It comes right up to his glinty eyes. His voice is a sleepy one and his smell is like pepper and his eyebrows are red and bristly.

      After tea he showed me and Yeller some plans of Instant Adventures. He does nice curly capitals and he is a good colourinner. But plans are hard to understand for small cubs. Never mind, because Mister Marvo is so clever. He says, “Believe me, my boys, these are the most marvellous, most modernest adventures money can buy! They cost a lot, but remember, they are all under 1 winterproof dome. So you can have the thrills without the chills.”

      Yeller said, “ARRRROOOO! BECAUSE SNOW IS MY WORST THING, IT GIVES ME THE TREMBLES. BUT NOW, GUESS WHAT LICKLE, WE CAN HAVE A GO WITHOUT THE SNOW!!”

      See what you are missing?

      Yours xcitedly

      Smells thinks Mister Marvo is brilliant. He has let him share his dorm, also shown him his ted and his safe even!

      Me and Yeller are not jealous because now we can get on playing Bossy Heads and Daring Deeders by ourself. Important for the practiss. And tomorrow we choose our Instant Adventures, arrrroooo!

      Yours thrilly,

      Plan plan plan is what me and Yeller and Mister Marvo are up to, phew. Smells will not help, he only likes counting gold.

      These are our best IAs so far (short for Instant Adventures).

      Mister Marvo said did we want BANGS-U-LIKE ADVENTURE which is like a forest? You creep through it and loads of pretend hunters jump out and shoot their guns at you. Yeller said “GOOD IDEA, I LOVE LOUDNESS.”

      But I said, “No, that is enough IAs for now.”

      I did not want to say I am v scared of bangs, but all of a suddenly, Mister Marvo said softly, “Look deep into my eyes, my boy, and tell me. Are bangs your worst thing?” Just then Yeller did a loud sneeze, lucky for me. It made me jump plus it stopped me giving away my secret.

      So Mister Marvo said, “Well done, my boy, it is plain that you do not fear bangs. Naturally you are thinking of your pupils, who will not all be as fearless as you. By the way, the Instant Adventures you have selected will cost 3 wheelbarrowsful of gold, paid in advance.”

      I said, “What, before you build anything? Good joke har har.”

      Then Mister Marvo got quite snarly. It made his beard slip a bit and show his sharp teeth. But quick as a chick he hid them, saying he would build us a nice X-ample of his marvellous work, a TARZAN ZIPWIRE. Good, eh?

      Yours proudly,

      Smells is still OK but a bit jealous and fidgety because of Mister Marvo doing planning with us. Yesterday he kept climbing on top of his safe and falling off. Just so we would stick plasters on him.

      Then Yeller had a BIG IDEA. He made Smells a tape of gold going chinkle chinkle. Now it is 1 of his best things. He sits and listens to it all the time with his Earpod on.

      See, we are looking after him still.

      Your trusted

      Today Mister Marvo put up the mini Tarzan Zipwire in our dorm to show us.

      I said to Yeller, “Yeller, what do you think?” He said to me, “I THINK IT IS A BIT RUBBISH, LICKLE.” Mister Marvo said to Yeller, “With respect, my boy, Master Little is the true owner here. I advise you to keep silent.” He gave Yeller a deep look in the eyes and guess what, Yeller said, “OF COURSE, GREAT SIR, I WILL OBEY.” It is so hard to say no to Mister Marvo.

      True the zipwire is a bit smaller than we hoped. More СКАЧАТЬ
