The Puppet Show

Becky plans to put on a puppet show in her living room to entertain her cousin Wesley. It’s a version of Beauty and the Beast, with music! Hoping for a bigger audience, she advertises her show on the telegraph pole outside her house. Her mum isn’t terribly pleased when strangers turn up. And at the end of the performance Becky’s surprise twist terrifies her little brother, Ed, who starts to cry.
Becky knows her show was great. It almost seemed to her as if the puppets were alive! When she goes back into the living room the blinds are still down, and in the dark she hears breathing. Becky is spooked. Can it possibly be the puppets? But it’s Ed who has the last laugh, with an annoying surprise of his own.
