The Big Bazoohley

Sam's a little nervous. His parents have checked into a really expensive hotel, and Sam knows that they can't afford to pay the bill - unless his mother manages to sell the painting that she has just finished. She thinks she has a buyer, but when she goes off to the buyer's address she is puzzled to find that it doesn't exist. The mysterious Mr de Vere, who she has dealt with before, must have moved without telling her.Sam's father is a gambler. Sometimes he does well and they live comfortably. Sometimes he loses and they live on peanut butter sandwiches and milk. They're in a bit of a peanut butter period at the moment. When they arrived at King Redward hotel they heard about the perfecto Kiddo competition it was quite tempting for Sam he wanted to win the competition he could win 100,000 dollars. Sam thought this was great and he could make his way and win the competition. The night before the competition Sam had sleep walked out of the room he was staying in with his mother and father and was kidnapped by this Muriel and George. There was bad news their kid had occured with the chicken pox and he was all covered with spots. Their were some spots here and there they were everywhere. He was named Wilfrid and he was glad to be in bed because he did not want to travell around the world winning a big amount of money and everyone making a big great fuss that he has won the grand contest.

After all the preparation he was glowing like the sun.
