"Ding, ding! Ding, ding!" Dad came into Chip's room.He was ringing a bell. Chip sat up in bed.
"It's time to get up," said Dad. "Mum's away and we have a lot of jobs to do."
Dad rang the bell on the stairs. "Time to get up!" he called.
"Do we have to?" asked Biff. "It's the weekend."
"Yes," said Dad. "Mum gets back tonight.The house is a mess. We must tidy up." "I suppose so," yawned Chip.
"Good. I'll start breakfast," said Dad.
The children came down for breakfast.
"Bad news," said Dad. "The milk has gone off,I've burned the toast and we've run out of juice. I'm sorry."
"Oh no!" said Kipper. "I'm hungry!"
"We'll have to go to the supermarket," said Dad."We need some more food." "I've got a better idea," said Chip.
"Let's have breakfast in the cafe."
"You can eat what you like," said Dad. "Then we'll do the shopping."
"Hooray!" said Kipper. "I'm going to have a big breakfast!"
"I'd like blueberry pancakes," said Biff. "I want eggs," said Kipper.
"Why not have a kipper. Kipper?" said Chip.
"Only if you have chips, Chip!" said Kipper.
At home, Dad told the children to start their jobs.
"I'll put the shopping away," he said. "You go and tidy your rooms.That big breakfast should give you lots of energy."
The children looked at the mess.
"Let's tidy up later," said Chip. "I'm so full, I can't move!"
"No chance of a walk then," thought Floppy.
Just then, the magic key began to glow.
The magic took them back in time. It took them to a big house.It took them into a large hall with a big staircase.
"It's still dark outside," said Biff. "Ding, ding!" A bell began to ring.
Suddenly, a door opened. A little girl came in. She was holding a candle.
"I'm Rose. You must be the new servants.The housekeeper will see you now. Follow me," she said.
Rose took them down a corridor into a large storeroom.The housekeeper was waiting for them.
"You are late," she said, sternly. "There are lots of jobs to be done."
She gave the children lists of jobs.
"Begin with the cleaning," she said."It has to be done before breakfast.Ah! I see you have brought a dog. Good."
Rose took them to a large kitchen.
"This is Mrs. Fry," said Rose. "She's the cook."
"Hello," said Mrs. Fry. "I see you have brought a dog. Good."
"Why is everyone pleased that we have brought a dog?" asked Chip.Mrs. Fry pointed at a wooden wheel. "Put your dog in here," she said.
"I may not like this," thought Floppy.
Rose put Floppy inside the wheel.
"The wheel turns the meat over the fire," said Rose. "It stops the meat burning."
"You look like a giant hamster," laughed Kipper.
"Now we must hurry, there's so much to do," said Rose. "Lord Plum will be up soon.We must finish the jobs, then we can get his breakfast ready."
Mrs. Fry put the meat on the spit."We need this for Lord Plum's breakfast." She looked at Floppy.
"Keep walking and don't stop!" she said.
"Funny way to get a walk," thought Floppy.
