Chapter Five

A Sleepy Problem

Three days later, Zoe and Meep were on their way to visit Ollie again when they saw a delivery truck parked close to the aviary. Several delivery men were lifting three huge wooden crates from the back of the truck and stacking them up by the side of the path. There were colourful Chinese symbols painted on the side of the crates.

“Meep, look! That must be the New Year’s Eve fireworks,” said Zoe. “Wow, it looks like there are hundreds of them!”

Great-Uncle Horace was there too, directing the boxes to where he wanted them. “Into the storage hut behind the aviary, please!” he said happily, signing a piece of paper that one of the delivery men handed him. “Not long to wait until we see these lighting up the whole sky! Our display is going to be splendid!”

“Mr Pinch doesn’t look very pleased, does he?” whispered Zoe, and Meep giggled cheekily. The zoo manager was patching up a broken section of the aviary fence nearby, and watching the fireworks arrive with a very grumpy expression on his face.
