The Story

It's a little chilly today so Sir decides to light the fire, but the smoke comes back down the chimney. So the fetch a chimney sweeps broom to clean it out. But when they poke it up the chimney they hear a chomping sound. The brush has been bitten off!

They march off to the school canteen looking for a way to clear the monster. They pick up the Chef's Dumplings which are as heavy as cannonballs and try to drop them down the chimney. But the monster sends it back out. Fortunately, it falls straight back down the chimney and catches the monster by surprise.

He comes tumbling straight down the chimney and all of the rubbish is cleared away so they can light the fire.

Notes

I think the monster must be a ghost.....bones of the monster fall down the chimney (though no sign of a spook).
Today's Menu reads Stew & Dumplings with Stodge Pud for desert.....Chef describes it as the usual.
