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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
