Giant animal invades Toyland horror

THE HONORARY RESIDENT OF BOSTON, the guinea pig Snuffles, visited Toyland yesterday as a guest of King Cheeky.

The big toys were delighted to see the pet, who is about the size of the King himself. Ducky Mallard took a while to understand Snuffles was not a toy. 'She must be battery operated!' he kept saying. 'But I can't see any remote control!' Ducky is four years old.

Especially pleased to see the guest was local Sunnydale university student Marissa Cooper, 20, who met Snuffles and her sister Nibbles last May. This time Marissa introduced her own sister, Kaitlin (aged 9) to the furry friend.

However the small toy residents of Smallvania were more aghast when Snuffles was taken for a walk around the bustling town centre of Smallvania Square. Local entrepreneur Barry Bramble was heard 'yelping' and telling all adults and children not to leave their homes.

Bramble had reason to be worried when the guinea pig stormed into his house, knocking him over. 'No one was hurt, thank goodness! I hope never to see that awful gigantic monster again!'

When asked what she thoughts of Toyland, Snuffles stayed silent for a few seconds then said, 'SQUEEEAK!' before running under a pillow. King Cheeky said the visit of the honorary resident had been a great success and symbolised a 'great friendship' between Toyland and residents of the garden. He did not comment on the absence of Nibbles.

Jellycat Bunch storm Talent Show

MARISSA, SABRINA AND CLAIRE swept to a remarkable victory in the Toyland Summer Fete Talent Contest today, being commended by the judges for an 'original, inventive and witty' performance.

The Jellycat Bunch performed a series of sketches making parody of everyday life in Boston and Smallvania. In one particularly memorable sketch, Marissa pretended to be Chris Steakface hiding from his notoriously bossy wife, new Bostonian policewoman Spurry, played by Claire McKuchen. Sabrina played a stern-faced newsreader.

The judges were King Cheeky, Ryan Atwood and the Fete sponsor, Barry Bramble of Bramble Enterprises Inc. They gave second place to Ducky Mallard, who impressed the audience by singing a solo of 'Happy Birthday' in the style of Marilyn Monroe.

Marissa proudly presented her prize: 'I chose a family day out to the Back Garden Safari, to see lots of bugs, bees and guinea pigs!'. Her little sister Kaitlin, 9, looked on beaming.

Other highlights of the Summer Fete, which took place mostly in Sunnydale Juniors school hall due to the rain, were Mrs Mouse's Cake Sale and a pony ride on Shortbread, run by her owner Nazzy Star. Mrs Mouse even refrained from sq***king in front of the children.

Proceeds will go to The Smallvanian Orphanage trust fund.

Ducky is four years old.
