Chapter 2
W hen his grandma came with his breakfast, he stared at her

and then at the tray. She loved this tray that had belonged
to her great grandmother. Tom was starving! He had been
waiting for his food and he was drooling when he smelled

the food. Then grandma brought the breakfast to the sofa; on the plate
there were eggs, bacon and a cup of tea with milk. He grabbed the plate
and began eating straight away untidily and rapidly.

“You are very hungry! Oh! Look what I just invented!” grandma exclaimed.
She showed Tom a small television that was used in 1950’s.
“Grandma that is an ancient TV...!” Never mind… he said to himself.

And then Tom finished. He handed her the plate.
“You are eight, right?”
“Yep!” Tom replied.

“I think you are a big boy, and you should have some physical exercise,
so go out, make a snowman and pick some blueberries, so I can make

you some jam.”
“Really?”
Grandma nodded. Tom was so excited that he ran downstairs and
grandma could hear the steps go BOOM, BOOM! Grandma sighed and

smiled. She was so happy that her grandson could have some fun. But
grandma was worried that maybe a monster could eat Tom because he

had just eaten, and that meant he was kind of fat. And for monsters he
would be juicy and small, so easy to eat.
