Farmer Game Comes Alive

Sam

One day, a little boy named Connor was sitting at home. Now, he really liked playing all kinds of creative games. He liked pretending to be a cowboy sometimes. He liked pretending to be an astronaut. It was so much fun. And today, he was playing farmer. He was pretending that different ones of his teddy bears and all kinds of things were different animals. As he was playing, he noticed a different animal. But this one wasn't in his bedroom, it was actually outside his bedroom, looking in through the window.

Connor

Um, hello?

Sam

he said.

Panda Pete

Hi!

Sam

said the Panda at his window.

Connor

Um, who are you?

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

I'm Panda Pete. What are you playing?

Connor

Um, well,

Sam

said Connor,

Connor

I'm playing farmer. I'm- I'm pretending that I'm a farmer and that all these teddies are animals.

Panda Pete

Sounds perfect!

Connor

P-perfect for what?

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

For this,

Sam

said Panda Pete. He held up some kind of strange board with a clacky bit on the top.

Connor

What is that?

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

You know, in the movies they hold it up and they say action and then they click it down.

Connor

But what's it doing in here and why is my game perfect for this?

Panda Pete

Come on, I'll show you!

Sam

said Panda Pete, as he climbed in through the window. When he got in, he held up the board.

Panda Pete

Okay, are you ready?

Connor

Ready for what?

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

Well, take your position.

Connor

Um, o-okay.

Panda Pete

Yes, you definitely look like a farmer. Okay, ready, three, two, one, action!

Sam

he said, and he clicked the board together. Click! All of a sudden, the animals started to come to life and started to move around Connor's room.

Connor

Whoa!

Sam

said Connor. He looked.

Connor

I-I look like a real farmer.

Panda Pete

Yes, you are a real farmer,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

And look at the ground!

Sam

He looked at the floor of his bedroom.

Connor

There's, like, grass and stuff here!

Sam

The animals started moving around the room. It was so fun. Connor started guiding them to different areas.

Connor

Uh, a-alright, y-you come over here and I'll- I, oh, I need a pen.

Sam

As he looked around his room, he realised there were actually animal pens now. And his room was so much bigger than it used to be.

Connor

This is incredible, Panda Pete. How- how did you do this?

Panda Pete

Well, it's the action board. When you click the action board, things come to life!

Connor

Wow,

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

This is incredible!

Panda Pete

Alright, let's round up all these animals into their pens and then maybe we can do a different game.

Pirate Ship Mix-Up

Sam

So Panda Pete and Connor worked very, very hard. They got all the animals into the right pens. They separated them into the sheep and the goats and the horses and the cows and all of the things. There was even a sheepdog that helped them by running around barking as the animals were going in the wrong direction. After not too long at all, they had rounded up all the animals.

Panda Pete

And, cut!

Sam

said Panda Pete, as he clacked the board shut once again.

Connor

That was so much fun.

Sam

Connor looked around his room, and everything was back to normal.

Connor

Panda Pete, this is- this is amazing!

Panda Pete

I know. It's one of my favourite new toys. Okay, we need to do something else. Ah, what could we do? What could we do? Ah, hey, how about, how about, how about, how about we be explorers on a boat?

Connor

Um, okay,

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

How will we set that up?

Panda Pete

Well, we need to find something that looks like a boat, first of all.

Sam

He looked around Connor's bedroom, and they found a few blankets that they shaped into the shape of a boat, and then they stood in the middle. Connor held up something straight in the middle to make it look like there was a mast.

Panda Pete

Okay, and action!

Sam

Click! And when Panda Pete clacked it shut this time, the mast shot up. The boat got bigger.

Connor

Whoa!

Captain Connor Takes Command

Sam

said Connor, as the room started to rock from side to side.

Panda Pete

It's amazing! Look at the ocean!

Sam

Panda Pete and Connor looked over the sides of their new giant boat. It was amazing.

Connor

Whoa! I've got a pirate hat on. Uh-oh. Are we pirates?

Panda Pete

I thought we were meant to be explorers. Um, we must have set it up a little bit wrong,

Sam

said Panda Pete. As they were talking, a pirate came over to them.

Panda Pete

Uh-oh,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Pirate

Arrh! Captain Connor, what be your orders?

Connor

Captain Connor?

Sam

thought Connor.

Panda Pete

Yes, Captain Connor,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

What be your orders?

Sam

He saluted as he stood.

Connor

Um, maybe we should...

Sam

Connor was looking around.

Pirate

Are you okay, Captain Connor? You seem to be a little bit confused,

Sam

said the pirate.

Connor

Um, well...

Pirate

You're not an imposter, are you?

Sam

said the pirate.

Connor

Um!

Sam

As Connor was thinking, he realised what he had to do.

Connor

I need to- I need to pretend and I need to pretend the best that I can.

Sam

Connor took a deep breath and then turned to the pirate.

Connor

I be no imposter!

Sam

he said.

Pirate

Oh, ha, yes, s-sorry, Captain.

Connor

Yes, and for that, I think you may need to walk the plank.

Pirate

Oh, no, sir, no, no, I'm- I'm st- I'm terribly sorry,

Sam

said the pirate.

Cannon Fire And Quick Cut

Connor

Ah, yes, you best be. Well, we best raise all the sails and go to full speed in... that direction!

Sam

yelled Connor, in his most pirate-y voice he possibly could.

Panda Pete

Wow! Captain Connor, you're amazing!

Connor

And I will be taking the helm,

Sam

he said. He walked confidently across the pirate ship as it swayed from side to side until he got to the helm. He took control.

Connor

I've never h-had control of a pirate ship before,

Sam

said Connor very quietly to Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

Don't worry, you can do it,

Sam

said Panda Pete. And with that, Connor started to control the ship. The men started to cheer as the winds picked up and the ship moved faster and faster. As it began to sail, the men began to sing a sea shanty. It was so much fun. Connor and Panda Pete joined in as they learnt the words. They were having so much fun. Until they saw another pirate ship coming straight towards them.

Connor

Uh-oh,

Sam

said Connor. Boom! One of the cannons blasted on the other ship and just missed them.

Connor

Um, Panda Pete, what do we do?

Panda Pete

Um, um...

Connor

Actually, I've got an idea,

Sam

said Connor. One of the pirates came over.

Pirate

Captain Connor, what be your orders?

Sam

Connor grabbed the clacky board off Panda Pete, held it up, and said,

Connor

And, cut!

Sam

And with that, it returned back to Connor's bedroom.

Panda Pete

Wow! That was a close one,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Connor

It was,

Sam

said Connor.

The Royal Restaurant Challenge

Connor

We better be careful how we set things up next time. That could have got very dangerous.

Panda Pete

Very, very dangerous,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

But also, very, very fun! Uh, what are we gonna do next? We definitely need to do something else. Maybe something a little bit... I don't know. Maybe, do you have any ideas?

Connor

Well,

Sam

said Connor,

Connor

maybe we could pretend to be chefs in a fancy restaurant?

Panda Pete

Oh, that would be fun. Let's do it!

Sam

So, they got some tables and set them up, and then they got some pretend food and put it on the bench, and then they took their positions.

Panda Pete

Are you ready?

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Connor

Um, I think so,

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

And... action!

Sam

yelled Panda Pete as he clacked the board closed. The kitchen came to life. There were people bustling to and fro. Panda Pete and Connor looked at the food in front of them.

Panda Pete

Okay, we better get to work,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Connor

Um, what does it look like we're making?

Sam

Just then one of the waiters rushed in.

Waiter

Um, Monsieur Connor, are you sure that you are ready to do this?

Connor

Um, ready to do what?

Sam

said Connor.

Waiter

Ready to invent a brand-new dish for the king.

Connor

Um, maybe,

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

Definitely,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

We can do anything, and we are ready because we are the best chefs in the whole entire world.

Connor

Oh yeah, we gotta pretend,

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

Um, yes, we are definitely ready. Tell the king that his meal will be there shortly.

Waiter

Oh yes, I will go tell him, okay, thank you. Well done, Mr. Connor. We are so proud of you. You are the most amazing chef in the whole entire world, and the king does not think so, but I'm sure after this meal that he will be completely convinced.

Inventing The Flying Cloud Dish

Connor

What?

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

He doesn't think so?

Waiter

No, don't you remember?

Sam

said the waiter.

Waiter

He has come because he thinks that you are actually a terrible cook and he is convinced that your food will be disgusting. That is why you agreed to make him a brand-new dish that no one has ever tasted before, to prove that you are the best chef in the whole entire world. He has been telling everybody at the table how terrible you are.

Connor

What?

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

That's not very kind.

Waiter

Well, this is your imagination.

Connor

What?

Sam

said Connor?

Panda Pete

Never mind,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

Let's go!

Sam

So, Panda Pete and Connor started looking at all the food in front of them.

Panda Pete

We need to invent something new. You can do it, Connor!

Connor

Uh, o-okay,

Sam

said Connor. He looked at the food.

Connor

I've got an idea.

Sam

So they started to work. They worked very, very hard. They chopped, they diced, they mixed, they added all kinds of strange spices. Then they got the food and started shaping it into different shapes. And then they started adding extra things to it. Then Connor yelled,

Connor

Right, everybody out of my kitchen!

Sam

he said. All the other people in the kitchen started to walk out.

Panda Pete

What are you doing?

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Connor

Uh, I've got an idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work, so I thought if I get everyone out, it'll be easier for us to try it together.

Panda Pete

Oh, okay,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

What's your idea?

Connor

Well, see how the food kind of looks like clouds now?

Sam

Panda Pete looked, and the way that they had chopped and shaped all the food, it did. It looked like colourful clouds.

Panda Pete

Oh, yeah, it does.

Connor

Well, I thought,

Sam

said Connor,

Connor

imagine if we could make it fly.

Panda Pete

Fly?

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

That's- that's a great idea, but how are we going to do it?

Connor

Um,

Sam

Connor thought,

Connor

maybe, *gasp* we could fill it with helium gas.

Panda Pete

That is a great idea. Let's do it! But where will we get it?

Connor

Um, well, this is our imagination, so I guess we can imagine it in.

Panda Pete

Maybe there's some in this cupboard,

Sam

said Panda Pete. As he opened the cupboard, sure enough, there was a bottle of helium gas.

Panda Pete

Hooray!

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Connor

Hooray!

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

Let's do it!

Sam

So, they got the helium gas and they filled all the cloud-shaped food with helium. Then they tied some tiny little strings onto the bottom of it, and Connor walked out into the restaurant, holding all the amazing food, like balloons. As he walked around to the table, he went to the different people.

Connor

Here you go, one balloon for you, one balloon for you, and this one is for you, Your Highness.

Sam

He handed a balloon to the king. The king looked up at the balloon.

King

Firstly, Connor, I need to tell you something very important.

Connor

Um, what is that, Your Highness?

King

I don't really think you're a terrible chef. I just wanted to be able to jump the line to get in here because this restaurant is so prestigious. Well done, this looks incredible!

Connor

Oh, thank you,

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

I-I'm glad you like the look of it, but just wait till you taste it,

Sam

he said.

King

How do I eat it?

Sam

said the king.

Connor

Um, you just take a bite,

Sam

said Connor. The king pulled his balloon down and he took a bite. As he did, the flavours that filled his mouth were incredible, and the helium that filled his mouth was also quite funny as well. Because as the king turned back to Connor,

King (in a high-pitched voice)

This is delicious!

Sam

said the king. Connor tried not to giggle, but the people around the table began to giggle very, very loud. It was much more than a giggle, it turned into quite the laugh.

King (in a high-pitched voice)

What are you guys all laughing at?

Sam

said the king. Then he realised the sound of his own voice. He began to laugh too.

King (in a high-pitched voice)

Hehehehehee hoheehee hoo hoo hoo oho hoo!

Sam

The other people at the table bit into their balloons as well, and the room was filled with high-pitched laughter and joy as they tasted the food and decided that it was so delicious, the most delicious thing they had ever eaten. They laughed and clapped as Connor took a bow.

Waiter

Well done, Connor. You have made the most delicious, most amazing food that anybody has ever seen. Congratulations, you must now work here forever.

Connor

Um, no,

Sam

said Connor.

Connor

I think I've had enough of this game.

Waiter

This game?

Sam

said the waiter.

Panda Pete

And, cut!

Sam

said Panda Pete, as he clacked the board closed one more time.

Connor

That was amazing!

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

I just wish that I got to taste that balloon. That looked like it was so yummy and so funny.

Connor

Well, maybe we can play that game another time,

Sam

said Connor.

Panda Pete

Yeah, but I better get going. Hey, thanks for playing with me,

Sam

said Panda Pete.

Panda Pete

I'll see you soon!

Sam

With that, he backflipped straight out the window and ran off down the street. Just then, Connor's mum came in.

Connor's mum

Um, Connor, what was all that high-pitched giggling coming from your room?

Connor

Well,

Sam

said Connor,

Connor

I don't think you'd believe me, even if I told you.

Sam

And that is the end of the story.
