The World's Awesomest Air-Barf (14 page)

I have checked all my records and it’s true: this is the first time the Rotting Chowhabunga has been made to flower outside the jungles of
Brazil. Your grandad
is
a record breaker, and it gives me great pleasure to enclose his certificate.

Best wishes,

Eric Bibby

Keeper of the Records

‘Do you mind me getting one of these instead of you, Danny?’ asked Grandad.

‘No, ’course not,’ replied Danny. ‘We had loads of fun helping you win it.’

Grandma glanced up from the little pink baby bonnet she was knitting, and frowned at him. ‘What do you mean?’ she asked.

Danny smiled a naughty smile, and explained how adding the Pongy Potion to the cowpat barrel had caused the Rotting Chowhabunga to flower, and made everything in the vegetable patch grow so
huge.

‘And the great thing is, you can beat Ernie Slack
every
year!’ said Danny.

Matthew held up a piece of paper. ‘Because I wrote down the Pongy Potion recipe!’

Grandma put down her knitting and looked at the list Matthew had made. ‘You used my home-made baked beans!’ she complained.

Danny tapped the side of his nose. ‘
They
must have been the Super-Secret Ingredient!’ he said.
