A Fright in the Night

A Fright in the Night

Biff and Chip went to stay with Gran. They went to stay for a week. "Be good," called Mum. "Don't worry," said Gran. "I will."

Gran's house was small. It had two bedrooms. Biff and Chip had to sleep in the same bedroom. Biff wanted the bed by the door. Chip wanted the bed by the window. "That's good," said Gran.

Gran took Biff and Chip for a walk. They went to the woods. Biff saw some blackberries. She wanted to pick some. Gran had some plastic bags. She gave one to Biff and Chip. "We can make some blackberry jam," she said.

Gran made the blackberry jam. Biff and Chip helped. Chip made some labels and Biff licked the spoon. They made nine jars of jam. "You can take a jar home for Kipper," said Gran. "And a jar for Wilf and Wilma."

The children loved Gran's house. It was very old. It had a big fireplace. Biff helped Gran light the fire. Chip helped Gran get some logs. "Do you have ghosts?" he asked. Gran laughed. "There are no such things," she said.
