Just another day at school, I thought as I walked into class. But I was horribly wrong. There was a terrible fart noise and Mr Hazel turned into blue jelly! Then a student, then another and another and another - the whole class had turned into jelly!
I raced to tell Bob, I knew he was in the toilet and always leaves the door open. As I ran, I heard screams and more fart noises. Then I knew… the whole town would soon be jelly. When I reached the toilet, there was another horrible fart noise. I peered down the toilet, Bob was red and lumpy jelly in the toilet!
“Bob are you okay?” I said.
“Yes,” Bob replied, “but I’m wet.”
“What are those black things in you? Watermelon seeds I’m guessing?”
“Yep!” Bob replied. Then I had an idea…
The whole town was jelly except me. If I took a sample of my blood and put a bit on everyone, maybe they would turn back to normal. I raced home and took a sample of my blood and tested it on my dad and it worked! So I raced around the town and put a pinch on everyone. Slowly, the town started to turn back to normal. Lastly, I turned the Mayor back to normal. He gave me an award in front of the whole town and from that point on, I was the town’s greatest hero.
