‘Sure it won’t be too dark or dusty in here?’

But Annika was already asleep, snoring contentedly as soon as her eyes were closed. Mr Bold came to see that their guest was comfortable.

‘Sleeping like a baby,’ said Mrs Bold, in hushed tones.

What do baby footballers do in their sleep?

Dribble!

Mrs Bold closed the cupboard door so her laughing didn’t disturb Annika.

The next day everyone continued getting the spare room ready for Fifi. Mr Bold and Uncle Tony said they’d do the decorating. Miranda the monkey would do the hard-to-reach spots.

‘Fifi is a big star these days. It won’t do as it is,’ said Mr McNumpty. ‘She’s used to luxury!’

‘Smells a bit too,’ pointed out Uncle Tony.

‘That’s hardly surprising,’ agreed Mr McNumpty. ‘There’s been all manner of guests in there. I can smell fox, otter and goose – and we haven’t even got to the top of the stairs yet!’

‘What colour shall we paint it?’ asked Tony.

‘Yellow, I think,’ said his friend decisively. ‘Buttercup yellow. Nice and cheerful. It’ll go beautifully with the orange pattern in the carpet.’

‘Er, that’s not a pattern,’ pointed out Uncle Tony. ‘It’s a stain left by Craig the wild boar. He didn’t always make it to the loo on time.’

But eventually the decorating was done and the carpet, curtains and windows were cleaned. Everyone worked very hard to make the room perfect. A new mattress for the bed was needed as the old one was beyond saving (Craig, again – but let’s not dwell on his personal hygiene issues. Boars will be boars, is all I can say). A new dressing table was acquired for nothing from a FreeCycle website, together with a smart new chair.

Finally Mrs Bold placed a lovely vase of flowers on the windowsill.

‘Well done, everyone!’ she declared.
