Horrid Henry’s Hobby

Horrid Henry and the Mummy's Curse

Horrid Henry’s Hobby “ Out of my way, worm! ” shrieked Horrid Henry, pushing past his younger brother Perfect Peter and dashing into the kitchen. “ NO! ” screamed Perfect Peter. He scrambled after Henry and clutched his leg. “ Get off me! ” shouted Henry. He grabbed the unopened Sweet Tweet cereal box. “ Nah nah ne nah nah, I got it first. " Perfect Peter lunged for the Sweet 'T'weet box and snatched it from Hcnry. “ But it's my turn! " “ No, mine! ” shrieked Henry.

He ripped open the top and stuck his hand inside. “ It's mine! ” shrieked Peter. He ripped open the bottom. A small wrapped toy fell to the floor. Henry and Peter both lunged for it. “ Gimme that! ” yelled Henry. “ But it's my turn to have it! " yelled Peter. “ Stop being horrid, Henry! " shouted Mom. “ Now give me that thing! ” Henry and Peter both held on tight.

“ NO! ” screamed Henry and Peter. “ IT’S MY TURN TO HAVE THE TOY! ” Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter both collected Gizmos from inside Sweet Tweet cereal boxes. So did everyone at their school. There were ten different colored Gizmos to collect, from the common green to the rare gold. Both Henry and Peter had Gizmos of every color. Except for one. Gold.

“ Right, ” said Mom, “ whose turn is it to get the toy?” “ MINE! ” screamed Henry and Peter. “ He got the last one! ” screeched Henry. “ Remember--he opened the new box and got the blue Gizmo. ” It was true that Perfect Peter had got the blue Gizmo-two boxes ago. But why should Peter get any? If he hadn't started collecting Gizmos to copy me, thought Henry resentfully, I'd get every single one. “ NO! " howled Peter. He burst into tears. “ Henry opened the last box. ” “ Crybaby, " jeered Henry. “ Stop it, ” said Peter. “ Stop it, ” mimicked Henry. “ Mom, Henry's teasing me, ” wailed Peter. “ I remember now, ” said Mom. “ It's Peter's turn.
