Mr Kranky's Great Idea

Part 1

A

1.The next day, George's father came down to breakfast in a state of greater excitement than ever.

2.'I've been awake all night thinking about it!' he cried.

3.'About what, dad?' George asked him.

4.'About your marvellous medicine, of course! We can't stop now, my boy! 5.We must start making more of it at once! More and more and more!'

B

1.The giant saucepan had been completely emptied the day before because there had been so many sheep and pigs and cows and bullocks to be dosed.

2.'But why do we need more, dad?' George asked.

3.'We've done all our own animals and we've made Grandma feel as frisky as a ferret even though she does have to sleep in the barn.

C

1.''My dear boy,' cried Mr Killy Kranky, 'we need barrels and barrels of it! Tons and tons!

2.Then we will sell it to every farmer in the world so that all of them can have giant animals!

3.We will build a Marvellous Medicine Factory and sell the stuff in bottles at five pounds a time.

4.We will become rich and you will become famous!

1.''But wait a minute, dad,' George said.

2.'There's no waiting!' cried Mr Kranky, working himself up so much that he put butter in his coffee and milk on his toast.

3.'Don't you understand what this tremendous invention of yours is going to do to the world! Nobody will ever go hungry again!'

E

1.'Why won't they?' asked George.

2.'Because one giant cow will give fifty buckets of milk a day!' cried Mr Kranky, waving his arms.

3.'One giant chicken will make a hundred fried chicken dinners, and one giant pig will give you a thousand pork chops!

F

1.It's tremendous, my dear boy! It's fantastic! It'll change the world.

2.''But wait a minute, dad,' George said again.

3.'Don't keep saying wait a minute!' shouted Mr Kranky.

4.'There isn't a minute to wait! We must get cracking at once!

G

1.''Do calm down, my dear,' Mrs Kranky said from the other end of the table.

2. 'And stop putting marmalade on your cornflakes.

3.''The heck with my cornflakes!' cried Mr Kranky, leaping up from his chair.

4.'Come on, George! Let's get going! And the first thing we'll do is to make one more saucepanful as a tester.

H

1.''But dad,' said little George.'The trouble is .

2.''There won't be any trouble, my boy!' cried Mr Kranky.

3.'How can there possibly be any trouble? All you've got to do is put the same stuff into the saucepan as you did yesterday.

4.And while you're doing it, I'll write down each and every item.

5.That's how we'll get the magic recipe!''But dad,' George said. 'Please listen to me.
