Everyone was excited. It was holiday time. They would go out. Floppy who is a dog was excited, too. He was running round and round. They all laughed at him. Mum came in and she said "Dad has a Gran Plan." Everyone sat at the table. Dad had made a long list of jobs. "I want everyone to help, thn nobody gets cross," he said. Everyone looked at the list. They all had jobs to do. Mum liked Dad's Grand Plan, but children weren't so sure.
It was time to go. Dad's Grand Plan worked. Nothing had gone wrong. Mum drove a car. After that, they were all thirsty. Mum saw a place and stopped. She looked in the back of the car. "Where's Floppy?" gasped Mum. "We can't have forgotten him!" But it was true. They went back and got Floppy. But now they were late. Mum drove fast.
There was a bump. A bag had fallen off the roof rack. Mum stopped the car. The bag was in the road. It had come open. There were clothes everywhere. "They look like Dad's clothes," said Biff. Dad's socks were inthe road. His shirts were in the hedge. His pants were in a tree. The children couldn't help laughing. "Don't stand there laughing," said Dad. "Help me pick up my clothes." "This wasn't in Dad's Grand Plan," said Mum.
At last they got to holiday cottage. Dad unlocked the door. Everyone went inside. "There's soot everywhere!" said Dad. "It has come from th chimney." "Cleaning up soon wasn't in Dad's Grand Plan," said Biff. "Nor was having my pants in a tree!" laughed Dad.
I like going out, so I often go out on my holiday. However, I haven't experienced such a terrible thing. However, I have many good memorable trouble. It is a wonder, I think.
