“Hey, don’t you want some more jelly,” asked Mr. Bloopy stuffing a spoon of jelly into the engineer’s mouth.
Everyone wanted more and more jelly. Mr. Bloopy Plop started producing jelly.
PLOP, PLOP, PLOP, PLOP!
A lot of jelly was produced by Mr. Bloopy that was enough to fill an Olympics swimming pool. He emptied the entire jelly into an empty pool. It became a jelly pool!
Witcho quickly put up a sign board that read, ‘NOT FOR PUBLIC USE. NO SWIMMING, ONLY EATING!”
The professionals ate to their heart’s content and fell fast asleep. Wizardo and Witcho used their magic to take them back to their work places.

Bye Bye Mr. Bloopy
“Oh! I have only twenty-one googs (hours). I must leave now,” announced Mr. Bloopy Plop.
“Bye- bye, Miss you,” said everyone
“ZZZZOOOOOOM!” He left in his spacecraft.
“Waaaaahhhhh, I want more jelly,” cried Emily loudly.
“We could get come from the stores. Stop crying now,” said Emily’s mother.
“No, I want only Mr. Bloopy’s jelly,” wailed Emily.
“Don’t worry, I will give her a happiness medicine,” said Wizardo.
POOF! A cauldron, spoon and ingredients appeared before him. He added all the ingredients into the cauldron and poured the potion into a bottle.
“This could be very dangerous if you use more than the amount needed,” declared Wizardo.
Then he suddenly splashed the potion on Emily.
“Phooo,” Emily spat whatever went into her mouth. “It tastes awful!” said Emily in disgust.
“Yay, I feel very happy!! Whee whee, I am very happy,” she said hopping and skipping everywhere.
“So, this is how the happiness spell works,” said Wizardo.
Everybody clapped. “Thank you!” said Wizardo.

The Strange Chair
The next morning, Ally woke up really early and went out to water the plants.
CRASH! A chair landed in the garden. On the chair, sat Santa Claus!
“Aaaaaaaah,” screamed Ally.
Hearing that her mother woke up and came running.
“Ally! What is wrong?” asked mom.
“It is not Christmas yet. But I saw Santa on a normal chair! He landed in our garden. There he is!” said Ally pointing at Santa Claus.
“Oh! Don’t worry,” said Santa. “This chair brought me here. I was supposed to be in the North pole. I fell asleep on this chair. I never knew that this chair could do such a thing!” said Santa.
Ally quickly called her friends.
“Oh hello all! I believe these are all your friends,” said Santa
“Yes Santa,” said Ally.
“Well, how do I get back?” Santa asked himself.
“Oh bother! We have to waste one week in fixing that chair. We already wasted a week for fixing that spaceship,” grumbled George.
“Shhhh George!” said Emily.
Luckily Santa did not hear what George told.
“Oh, can I have something to eat?” asked Santa.
“Yes, yes, sure!” said Ally’s mom. “What would you like to have?”
“Plum cake please. I love plum cake. Just a full cake would do,” said Santa coolly, which Ally, her friends and their parents thought was too much.
Mom quickly went to the shop and bought a plum cake for $5.
“Thank you very much!” said Santa and cut the cake into quarters and stuffed each quarter into his mouth.
“Yum, yum!”, he said as bits of cake spluttered from his mouth.
“He has got no table manners,” whispered Fifi and Finola.
Everyone there watched him in disgust as he enjoyed the plum cake.
“Hmmm, Thank you very much! I will be leaving now. I think I figured out why the chair got me here. If I imagine North pole, then I will be dropped there,” said Santa and closed his eyes and imagined North pole.
POOOF! He was back home.
“Bye-bye Santa,” waved everyone.
Chapter 28
Albert Becomes an Astronaut
“Hmmm! I wish I were an astronaut,” said Albert.
“Oh sure, I can ask Wizardo and Witcho to turn you into one,” said Ally.
“Yes, yes, please!” pleaded Albert.
“Great! I will go get them,” said Ally.
After a while, Ally came with Witcho and Wizardo.
“Witcho and Wizardo, Albert wants to be an astronaut,” announced Ally.
They chanted the spell:
“Please pray God
That you won’t get caught!
Turn him into an astronaut!
POOOF!
Now Albert had his astronaut suit and a jet pack. He wore the jet pack and pressed a button.
WHIZZZZZ!!
He flew up so fast that even Wizardo’s magic could not bring him down.
Albert shouted, shrieked and screamed, but nothing could get him down.
Suddenly, CRASH! AAAGH!! There was a crash and a shriek. Albert had landed in Finola’s house.
Albert giggled nervously, but Finola screamed even more. Her mother came running and nearly fainted at the sight of Albert with a jet pack. Witcho had made him to come down.
Ally’s mom had also heard the crash and came out, while Ally was rolling down on the floor and laughing.
“Ally, come to your senses. He is your own brother. Please stop laughing,” said mom.
“Oh bother! I would never want to become an astronaut again!” said Albert.
Everyone laughed and eagerly looked forward for more adventures and mysterious incidents!
