Once
upon a time there was a Purple Pig & a Red Dog living on a farm called
Ham Farm, just outside of London. They were best friends. Nearby lived
a man called Mr. Driver. One Saturday, Mr. Driver decided to visit Ham
Farm to buy some eggs, and say hello to the Red Dog & the Purple Pig.
He bought the eggs from the farmer and asked him where the Red Dog &
the Purple Pig were. The farmer said he had not seen them for a day or
two, and he said that he was worried about them. Mr. Driver went to look
for the Red Dog & the Purple Pig, but they were nowhere to be seen.
He looked everywhere, in the barn, in the cow shed, even in the farmers
wife's vegetable garden. The Red Dog & the Purple Pig were missing!
Now Mr. Driver was worried too! 
That
night Mr. Driver could not sleep. He kept hearing crying outside his window.
When he looked, he could not see anything - it is very dark at night outside
of London. He decided he would have a better look in the morning and see
if he could see anything then,
Next
Morning Mr. Driver got out of bed, washed and cleaned his teeth and ate
his breakfast, before getting dressed and going outside. He looked for
whoever may have been crying last night. As Mr. Driver walked along his
pathway to his gate, he saw to his right, there in the middle of his garden,
something Red. Mr. Driver had found a Red Dog! But this was not the Red
Dog from the farm, it was a toy one, with a wobbly head! Imagine that!
Mr.
Driver picked up the Red Dog and then stopped moving to listen. The Red
Dog toy was crying! Imagine that! A Red Dog toy with a wobbly head in
the middle of the garden - crying! Mr. Driver rushed back inside his house
with the Red Dog toy in his hand, and checked the ingredients on his cereal
box - yes, indeed, he checked the ingredients twice!
Luckily
there was no MSG in the breakfast cereal, so he placed the Red Dog toy
on the table and listened again. Yes, the Red Dog toy was definitely crying.
"Whatever is the matter?" asked Mr Driver. The crying stopped
suddenly and a little voice said, "The Fairy, Miss Jeevious Lurky,
from Alberkerky, was flying over the farm on her broomstick and saw me
barking at an American Tourist riding a bicycle past the farm. When he
fell of his bike she came down and turned me into a nodding Red Dog toy!
She said I must help lots of tourists when they come to London before
I will turn back into a real dog again." Then the Red Dog toy added,
"I'm so sad, will you help me Mr Driver?". Mr Driver said he
would think about it, but told the Red Dog toy what a naughty dog he had
been to bark at the American Tourist and make him fall off his bicycle.
Later
that day, with the Red Dog toy in his pocket, Mr. Driver went outside
again. Over the fence, beyond the gate, Mr. Driver saw a Purple Car, parked
on the road. "That's funny.", said Mr. Driver softly, "I'm
not expecting anyone today.". As Mr. Driver approached the Purple
car, he noticed it was a Chrysler Grand Voyager. Mr. Driver had always
wanted a Chrysler Grand Voyager and this one was new too! Mr Driver started
to walk around the Car when he suddenly heard crying again. "What
is the matter now Red Dog toy?", he asked. "Nothing, I am not
crying, it's coming from the car!", said the Red Dog toy. "Now
that is really strange", said Mr. Driver,"First a Red Dog toy
is crying and now a Purple Chrysler Grand Voyager is crying, whatever
next?". 
Mr
Driver decided to ask the car what was wrong, and the Purple Chrysler
said, " The Fairy, Miss Jeevious Lurky, from Alberkerky, was flying
over the farm on her broomstick and saw me chasing an American Tourist
riding a bicycle past the farm. When he fell of his bike she came down
and turned me into a Purple Chrysler Voyager called the Flying Purple
Pig! She said I must help lots of tourists when they come to London before
I will turn back into a real Purple Pig again." The Purple Chrysler
then added, "I'm so sad, will you help me Mr. Driver?". Mr Driver
said he would because he had the Red Dog toy in his pocket and could help
them both. He then told the Purple Chrysler what a naughty pig he had
been to chase the American Tourist and make him fall off his Bicycle.
Mr Driver said he would go to bed and think about what they could do to
help the Tourists visiting London.
Next
morning Mr Driver woke up early, he had an idea. Mr Driver got out of
bed, washed and cleaned his teeth and ate his breakfast, before getting
dressed and going outside with the Red Dog toy in his pocket. He walked
up to the Purple Chrysler and whispered very quietly to the Red Dog, (now
a nodding Red Dog toy), & the Purple Pig, (now a Chrysler Grand Voyager
Car). Suddenly the Purple Pig shouted out very loud! He shouted, "Yes,
yes, yes, what a Marvelous idea! Climb inside, you shall be my Driver,
Mr Driver!". And so it is, Mr. Driver drives the Flying Purple Pig,
and together with the Red Dog toy they travel to and from London's Airports,
helping all the tourists when they visit London.
And
you know what?
Now
lots of people help the Flying Purple Pig & the Red Dog toy and they
have helped enough tourists now, and the Red Dog & the Purple Pig
have now returned to Ham Farm and live happily together! And Mr. Driver,
well he decided to carry on helping tourists when they come to England,
so look out for him when mum & dad bring you over to London!
