Mr Gum And The Power Crystals (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
. . back at the windmill. ‘OH, MARZIPAN!’ exclaimed Polly in frustration. But before she could turn back towards the town, there came a rustling sound as a battered old hobnail boot appeared from among the bushes. But wait, there was more. The hobnail boot led to a hobnail sock. The hobnail sock led to dirty, raggedy trousers like a tramp would wear. The trousers led to a shabby jacket too disgraceful even for a tramp. The jacket led to a scruffy red beard. The beard led to two angry bloodshot eyes and the bloodshot eyes led to the truth of who it was climbing from those bushes: Why, it was Oliver J. Chestnuts, the friendliest, funniest old fellow in the whole wide world! No, not really. In actual fact it was Mr Gum. And he was scowling like a fireplace. For a long moment Mr Gum and Polly simply stood there, facing each other in the fading afternoon light. Neither the old man nor the little girl said a word but in that moment each understood they were the exact opposite of each other.
