       The Search Begins

      Stanley Lambchop was flattened against the wall outside the kitchen. He knew it was impolite to eavesdrop, but his mother sounded upset. And she was talking about him .

      ‘I’m worried about Stanley,’ Harriet Lambchop was saying to her husband, George. ‘What if he’s flat for the rest of his life? You know how difficult things can be for someone who’s special.’

      Stanley thought of the morning, not long ago, when he awoke to find that the bulletin board over his bed had fallen on him during the night. Ever since, he’d been only half an inch thick. With his new shape, Stanley could do all sorts of things most people couldn’t do, such as travel via airmail. But his mother was right. Just yesterday, someone at school had called him ‘Boardbrains’.

      ‘I’m sure everything will be fine, dear,’ Mr Lambchop said. ‘Just because Stanley has gone flat –’

      ‘Become flat,’ Mrs Lambchop said. ‘Stanley hasn’t gone flat, George. He’s become flat. You know how improper grammar makes me –’ She was overcome with emotion.
