Story Time: Fats and the Helter Skelter

The last one. Hope they made you laugh. We had fun making them up.



One sunny day, Buttons, Fats and Harry decided to go to the playground. Their favourite playground – the one with the long, curly slide. They packed some snacks and drinks and set off. When they arrived they climbed to the top of the long, curly tube slide. It took a long time as there were a lot of steps…the top of the slide was nice and high. Harry went down first, then Buttons, then Fats. Buttons and Harry waited ages at the bottom of the slide but there was no sign of Fats. Buttons put his head in the slide and shouted ‘Fats! Fats!’ There was muffled reply ‘ I’m stuck’.

Fats sounded a bit upset so Buttons and Harry decided they should try and help him out. They climbed back up to the top of the slide and slid down again to try and push Fats out. It didn’t work. No matter how fast they slid down and bumped into Fats, he stayed stuck. ‘I’m hungry’ said Fats in his muffled voice. They decided that Fats should not have anything to eat in case he got more stuck.

It was getting late when Buttons suddenly had an idea. If they could make the slide really slippery then perhaps Fats would just slip out. Harry and Buttons remembered the butter in the sandwiches that they had brought with them. Butter makes things slippery. They took turns climbing into the slide and rubbing the butter all over the inside of the slide. When they had finished, they went back to the top and slid down really fast. They both crashed into Fats and he started to move until POP! They all tumbled out of the end of the slide and fell in a heap at the bottom. They laughed and laughed and then went home for a hot bath to wash off the sticky, slippery butter.
