‘OK guys, this is it.’ Will started to move the hay bales out the way. Then he stopped.

‘Oh, hang on a minute while I make sure that Maud’s nowhere near.’ He hurried out of the shed and rushed towards the house.

He came back in a few minutes. ‘It’s alright,’ he said, ‘She’s making buns in the kitchen, with Einstein helping. And Pru’s painting all the crockery. Right, let’s find out what’s been happening in there in the night.’

Eager but reluctant both at the same time, the boys, including Boo, pulled the hay bales out of the way and Will unlocked the door.

Hesitantly he grasped hold of the handle and looked at his friends.

‘Right, here goes,’ he said, and realised that he was whispering.

As Will slowly pushed the creaking door in front of him, the three boys stood rooted to the spot with their arms at their sides and their mouths hanging open. Then they came alive again, laughing a bit too loud. The cart was still in exactly the same place where they’d left it.

‘Keep to the right!’ Will ordered them as they all walked in.

Lardy peered around him. ‘Are you actually really SURE that something happened in here, Will?’

‘Maybe the goats were stolen after all!’ Boo suggested hopefully.

Will shook his head. ‘No, no way, mate. I know exactly what I saw, and I know what happened to me.’

Lardy stomped bravely over to the left corner before Will could stop him, waving his left arm in front of him, calling, ‘Yoo-hoo Wormhole, come and get me! Well I think it’s- Aaaagh!’ He actually let out a high-pitched scream.

There was a faint whistling noise and part of the wall became hazy, like in a morning mist.

Frozen to the spot, they watched as Lardy performed a strange dance, a bit like a robotic Hokey-Cokey.

His left arm went in, out, in, out, and he shook it all about, while his feet, splayed outwards, did a sideways shuffle, edging forwards with his knees clamped together.

Boo and Dodger suddenly sprang into life and fought each other to get out of the door first.

Will dashed over and, grabbing hold of the back of Lardy’s jumper with both hands, he pulled hard.

‘Harder!’ Lardy begged, ‘Pull harder!’

Grabbing hold of Lardy as far around his waist as his arms would go and pinching his stomach with his hands, Will leaned all his weight backwards, straining and pulling and gritting his teeth.

They both let out a groaning noise, then Lardy popped free like a cork and they fell over backwards, with Lardy on top of Will.

At once the whistling noise stopped and the mist cleared. The wall returned back to its normal solid state.

Lardy picked himself up, using Will as a lever, and ran, panic-stricken, outside, making an ‘Aaargh!’ sound, followed by Will.

‘I told you, you stupid great lump!’ he hissed as Lardy threw himself, face down on the grass, panting hard, ‘Satisfied now?’

Boo was hugging his knees under his chin, rocking backwards and forwards.

‘You were messing about, weren’t you, Lardy? PLEASE tell us you were messing about!’ Dodger begged.
