Sam

One day, two kids named Oliver and Zoe were going for a ride on their bikes. As they were riding down the street, they were looking at all the amazing things that were around them. They could see trees and they could see amazing-looking buildings and all kinds of fun things. But as they were riding past some bushes, they heard a noise.

Pim Pim

A... a... a-choo!

Zoe

Bless you,

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Thank you,

Sam

said the bushes.

Oliver

Who- Who said that?

Sam

said Oliver. They stopped their bikes and went back to the bushes. When they got closer, they looked behind the bushes. And there was a very fuzzy purple little creature.

Zoe

Um, excuse me,

Sam

said Zoe.

Zoe

Who- Who are you?

Pim Pim

I am the Pim- A... A-choo! The Pim Pim,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Oliver

Um, are you normally like this?

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

No. I seem to be kind of sick.

Zoe

Oh. But if you're sick, what are you doing here in the bushes?

Pim Pim

I don't really know. I seem to do the sneezing and strange things seem to happen.

Oliver

What?

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

I just- ah, ah, a-phew!

Sam

All of a sudden, when Pim Pim sneezed, all his fur changed colour.

Pim Pim

Wha! I'm green!

Oliver

Oh dear,

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

Oh, this is very silly. So many things keep happening whenever I do the sneezing. I need the very important special medicine.

Zoe

Well, where is it?

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Um, I don't know,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Oliver

Well, what is it?

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

I don't know that either.

Zoe

But how do you know that there's a very special medicine?

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Well, I did get told about it, but I forgot.

Zoe and Oliver

Oh dear,

Sam

said the kids.

Pim Pim

Will you help me find the special medicine?

Zoe and Oliver

Um, o-okay,

Sam

they said.

Oliver

Do you have any idea?

Pim Pim

Well, I remember it is something that I am meant to eat.

Zoe and Oliver

Hmm,

Sam

they thought.

Zoe

Well, we can't leave you here like this. We better help.

Pim Pim

Oh, thank you,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

Okay, I will try and stand up.

Sam

So as Pim Pim lifted himself onto his feet, Oliver decided that he would put Pim Pim on the back of his bike.

Pim Pim

Oh, thank you. I did not feel like walking.

Sky Cycling And Bubble Tricks

Oliver

Okay, well, if it's something to eat that you need, maybe we should head to... Hmm.

Zoe

Let's go to our house,

Sam

said Zoe.

Oliver

Good idea,

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim. So, as they started riding down the road, Pim Pim sat on the back of Oliver's bike until...

Pim Pim

Uh-oh. Ah ah ah-PCHEWWWWWWWWW!

Sam

Pim Pim sneezed out a burst of rocket blast.

Oliver

Whooooooooa!

Sam

said Oliver, as all of a sudden, his bike went flying down the road.

Zoe

Wow!

Sam

said Zoe.

Zoe

Oliver, come back here!

Oliver

I can't help it!

Pim Pim

I got the sneezy fires! Ah-PCHEWWWW!

Sam

Pim Pim blasted again.

Oliver

Whoooooooa!

Sam

Oliver's bike went racing off down the street so fast that he was able to hit one of the little bumps in the road, which launched him over the top of a bunch of houses.

Oliver

I'm flying!

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

I'm gonna sneeze,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Oliver

Not again,

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

Ah-pchew!

Sam

This time when Pim Pim sneezed, a tiny little bubble came out of his nose.

Pim Pim

Ooh, a bubble,

Sam

he said.

Pim Pim

That one's funny.

Sam

He reached out with his finger and popped it. And when he did, the bike stopped in midair.

Oliver

Um, what just happened?

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

I don't really know,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

Try pedalling.

Sam

So Oliver started trying to pedal, and he could ride his bike through the sky.

Oliver

This is amazing! We better pedal back towards Zoe.

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Home Arrival And The Jelly Medicine

Pim Pim

I'll try and hold my nose.

Sam

So they started pedaling back towards Zoe. When they got close, she saw them coming down from the sky.

Zoe

How are you doing that?

Sam

said Zoe.

Oliver

Um, Pim Pim sneezed a bubble.

Zoe

What?

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

I think I got another one. Ah-plp!

Sam

Pim Pim sneezed out another bubble.

Pim Pim

Okay, you pop this one, Zoe.

Zoe

Wha- I-I-I don't think I want to pop your sneeze bubble.

Oliver

Don't worry,

Sam

said Oliver.

Oliver

It's fun.

Zoe

So, she reached out with her finger and popped it. And Whew! Her bike lifted into the air too.

Oliver

Now we can go the fastest way home,

Sam

said Oliver.

Zoe

Hooray!

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Hooray!

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Oliver

Now you need to hold your nose this time to make sure that nothing else ridiculous happens.

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim, pinching ahold of his nose. So the kids rode their bikes through the sky over the top of the houses all the way back to their house. As they rode, Pim Pim's fur changed back to purple, and they landed in the driveway and walked inside. When they did, their dad was there waiting.

Dad

Hey kids. Who's that purple fuzzy thing?

Oliver

Um, this is Pim Pim,

Sam

said Oliver.

Zoe

And he's sick,

Sam

said Zoe.

Dad

Oh, well, has he had any medicine?

Oliver

Well, he says that he needs a special kind of medicine.

Dad

Well, should we try the normal medicine first?

Pim Pim

No, I wouldn't do that,

Sam

said Pim Pim, still holding onto his nose.

Dad

Why not?

Sam

said their dad.

Pim Pim

Um, my body does not like the normal medicine because it tastes very yucky.

Dad

Well, it doesn't really taste that bad. Why don't you just have a little bit?

Pim Pim

I don't think so,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Zoe

Just try,

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim. So their dad got a little bit of medicine and gave it to Pim Pim. As he took it in, something strange began to happen. All of a sudden, all Pim Pim's arms and legs went wobbly like jelly.

Ping Pong Chaos And Indoor Rain

Pim Pim

I told you! Now I'm a jelly Pim Pim! I can't do the, uh, standing, I can only do the wiggly falling. Plffff!

Sam

He fell onto the ground.

Pim Pim

I try and do a step. Plffff! This is kind of fun. I do another funny fall. Plff!

Sam

As Pim Pim was falling all over the house, the kids realised that he was telling the truth. Real medicine was not going to work.

Pim Pim

I just need to eat something very special.

Dad

Well, just tell us what it is, and we'll find it for you,

Sam

said the kids' dad.

Zoe

He doesn't remember,

Sam

said Zoe.

Dad

Oh. Well, what should we try?

Zoe

I think that we should try a banana,

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Um, okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim. So they got a banana out of the fruit bowl and they peeled it and handed it to him. He took the peel out of Zoe's hand and started eating the banana peel.

Oliver

Pim Pim, what are you doing?

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

Um nyum yum. Uh-oh. I feel very... ah ah ah...

Oliver

Not again!

Sam

called Oliver.

Pim Pim

A-pchew! A-pchew! A-pchew! A-pchew! A-pchew!

Sam

Every time Pim Pim sneezed, a ping pong ball came flying out of his nose.

Oliver

Whoa!

Sam

said Oliver, diving behind the couch. Their dad dove behind one of the other pieces of furniture, and Zoe was standing right in the wrong spot. Pock!

Zoe

Ow!

Sam

she said.

Pim Pim

Sorry,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

I didn't mean to- A-pchew! A-pchew! A-pchew!

Sam

More ping pong balls went flying around the room.

Pim Pim

Aaaaah!

Sam

They were bouncing off everything. And then the ping pong balls split into more ping pong balls, and then into more ping pong balls, until the house was filling up with too many ping pong balls.

Dad

Quick, hide!

Sam

yelled their dad as they were running around.

Zoe

Let's try a different piece of food,

Sam

said Zoe.

Oliver

Okay,

Sam

said Oliver. He raced into the pantry to try and grab something.

Oliver

Um, how about some honey? Uh-

Sam

He grabbed a spoonful of honey and raced over towards Pim Pim.

Oliver

Pim Pim, eat this!

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim. He opened his mouth and the spoon went in.

Pim Pim

Nyum! Hmm, that's tasty.

Oliver

I think it's working,

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

A-A-A-PCHEWWWWWWWW!

Sam

A giant puff went into the air, and as it settled, the kids realised something.

Zoe

Is that a cloud?

Sam

said Zoe.

Oliver

I think it is,

Sam

said Oliver. They looked, and sure enough, there was a giant cloud that was filling their house. The trouble was it seemed to be getting darker and darker and darker.

Oliver

I think it's gonna rain,

Sam

said Oliver.

Dad

What?

Fruit Trials, Upside-Down House

Sam

said their dad. All of a sudden Pshhhhhhh! it started to rain everywhere.

Zoe

It's raining inside the house!

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

I'm sorry!

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

I don't think that honey was the right thing. I do feel a tiny bit better.

Oliver

Um, quick, we better try something else. T-the rainstorm seems to have got rid of the ping pong balls, so maybe something else will get rid of the rain.

Zoe

We better be quick,

Sam

said Zoe.

Zoe

Look!

Sam

They realised that the house was starting to fill with water. There was a little puddle down the bottom that was getting deeper and deeper.

Pim Pim

Oh, you're going to have a new pool inside your house,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Dad

I don't want a pool inside the house,

Sam

said the kids' dad.

Pim Pim

Okay, you better try something else.

Sam

The kids raced around to try and see what they could find. They opened up the fridge, and inside there was all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Zoe

Um, what should we choose?

Sam

said Zoe.

Oliver

I don't know,

Sam

said Oliver.

Oliver

Grab 'em all and we'll try lots.

Sam

So, they grabbed as many fruits and vegetables out of the fridge as they could find, and they raced over towards Pim Pim.

The Brussels Sprout Breakthrough

Oliver

Okay, this could get ridiculous,

Sam

said Oliver.

Zoe

But the house is filling and we need to do something,

Sam

said Zoe.

Zoe

Try the carrot.

Pim Pim

So, they popped a carrot inside Pim Pim's mouth. Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp! ... A-prew!

Sam

When Pim Pim sneezed, all of a sudden, a bunny rabbit appeared in the corner of the room.

Pim Pim

A-prew!

Sam

And another bunny rabbit.

Pim Pim

A-prew!

Sam

And another one!

Oliver

Try something else,

Sam

said Oliver. So, Zoe shoved an apple inside Pim Pim's mouth.

Pim Pim

Nyum yum! Ooh, I like that one. And I do feel a little bit better.

Zoe

I think it's working,

Sam

said Zoe.

Oliver

That's what we thought last time,

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

Ah ah oh ah ah-pyew!

Zoe

Uh-oh,

Sam

said Zoe. This time, when Pim Pim sneezed, everything in the house flipped upside-down. All the tables, all the chairs, all the furniture was now on the roof.

Pim Pim

Oh dear,

Sam

said Pim Pim, looking up.

Pim Pim

I'm not very good at the being the sick thing.

Oliver

Well, at least this one's not breaking anything. I've only got one more piece of vegetable to try.

Sam

Oliver pulled out a Brussels sprout.

Pim Pim

No,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Zoe

What do you mean, no?

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

I'm not eating a Brussels sprout. I do not like them.

Zoe

But we want to try and make you better. It might work.

Pim Pim

I would prefer to be sick than to eat a Brussels sprout.

Oliver

Do you not like them that much?

Pim Pim

I've never tried one, but I hear other people don't like them.

Zoe

How do you know that you don't like it if you haven't tried it?

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

I'm just trying to... ah ah ah-

Sam

As Pim Pim's mouth opened, Zoe took her chance. She threw the Brussels sprout straight into Pim Pim's mouth.

Pim Pim

Chomp! Doow! Gulp!

Sam

He swallowed it whole.

Pim Pim

Ooh, that was yummy. Can I have another one?

Oliver

He sounds normal.

Sam

They looked. They waited. And nothing happened.

Oliver

I think it worked!

Sam

said Oliver.

Pim Pim

I think it did work!

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

I feel amazing! This is the best.

Sam

Then he started to cartwheel around the house, knocking over all kinds of things. The trouble was that, for some reason, the furniture was still stuck on the roof.

Pim Pim

Um, I hope you like roofy furniture because it is a lot of fun. You can sit upside-down and you will love it.

Zoe

Um, Pim Pim, I think we better try and get this all back down,

Sam

said Zoe.

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said the Pim Pim. So he climbed up, upside-down on the roof, and walked around as if it was the right way up. Then he picked up the chairs one by one and passed them down to the kids. And he picked up the tables and passed them down to the kids as well. In no time at all, the house was completely reset.

Zoe and Oliver

Wow!

Sam

said the kids.

Oliver

How did you do that?

Pim Pim

I don't know,

Sam

said Pim Pim,

Pim Pim

but I feel amazing. And I hope you enjoy the special addition that I have put into the backyard.

Zoe and Oliver

What?

Sam

said the kids. They raced to the back door and looked outside.

Oliver

There's a pool!

Sam

said Oliver.

Zoe

We have a pool!

Sam

said Zoe.

Dad

And it's not inside,

Sam

said their dad.

Pim Pim

Hooray!

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

Well, I'm so grateful for you making me feel lots better. I'd best be going home now. My mummy will be very worried as to where I am.

Zoe and Oliver

Well,

Sam

they said.

Oliver

We're- We're glad that you feel a lot better, Pim Pim.

Zoe

Feel free to come back and play another time soon.

Dad

Yes,

Sam

said their dad,

Dad

as long as you're not sick.

Pim Pim

Okay,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

Ah ah...

Oliver

Uh oh, he's gonna sneeze!

Pim Pim

Just kidding,

Sam

said Pim Pim.

Pim Pim

Heehee!

Sam

And he cartwheeled out the door and disappeared. The kids and their dad went back out to the backyard to have a look at the pool. The neighbor stuck his head over the fence.

Neighbour

Hey! How did you get that pool installed so quickly?

Sam

he said.

Oliver

Well,

Sam

said Oliver,

Oliver

I don't think you'd believe us, even if we told you.

Sam

And that is the end of the story.
