"Listen!" she shrieked with the glassy-eyed conviction of the converted. "Listen!

What about this for an idea, then! FANCY DRESS!"

A long silence. Apart from Sharkadder, blank faces. Nobody had ever heard of such a

thing before. The trouble was, nobody wanted to be the first to admit it.

"Not that it matters, as we can't afford it anyway — but what's Fancy Dress?" asked

Sourmuddle, who was too old to care about seeming silly. Everyone breathed a sigh of

relief.

"Ah! Well, we dress up as someone or something else, you see," explained

Pongwiffy. "It can be anything. And there'll be a prize for the best costume."

"I knew that," Sharkadder told everyone knowledgeably. "It's a very modern idea,

actually."

"When you say it can be anything, what exactly do you mean?" enquired

Greymatter. "You mean, a queen or a penguin or a bar of soap?"

"Exactly right, Greymatter," beamed Pongwiffy. "You've got the idea. We could dress

up as stone age cavewomen if we liked. In sabre-toothed tiger skins."

"A bit chilly," pointed out Sourmuddle. "Crag Hill's not the warmest of spots in

October. I've got three vests on now, and an extra cardi. Besides, where am I supposed to

lay me hands on a sabre toothed tiger's skin? They're extinct, aren't they?"

Pongwiffy sighed. This was going to be an uphill struggle.

"No, no, Sourmuddle, I just said cavewomen as an example. You might want to be

something completely different. A Gypsy. Robin Hood. A Pencil. A Princess. Anything you

like. You choose. See?"

There was another long silence, while everybody thought about it. Fancy Dress, eh?

Wearing something other than rags for a change. Hmm. It took a bit of getting used to. On

the other hand, it might be a bit of fun. Especially if there was a prize.

"That's all very well, Pongwiffy," said Bendyshanks, "but we can't even afford to buy

a cake. Where do we get the money for costumes, may I ask?"

"I'll get it!" promised Pongwiffy rashly. "I'll get the money, don't you worry. I've got

the rubbish for the bonfire, I might as well do everything else. Don’t worry, girls, not only

will we have a party this year, but it'll be the best one yet! Just wait till you hear the rest of

my ideas. What I propose is this..."

But she got no further. Instead, there came an interruption. There was a whistling

noise from high above, and something long and thin came hurtling out of the sky, straight as

an arrow, whizz, bang, down into their midst.
