It was a wet day and Barry was miserable. The bell rang and all the children went out into the school yard. Barry saw two boys hanging around the door. They walked up to him and pushed him.
“Look, it’s Barry Robinson,” they said.
“Give us your money or we’ll hit you.”
Barry gave them his dinner money.
“Ooo, look at little Barry” said the big one called Scott Dixon.
“How’s your grandma?” and all the boys laughed.
“Leave my gran alone,” said Barry.
“Your gran can’t do anything,” said Scott Dixon. “Everybody knows that.”
“Yes, she can,” said Barry.
At that moment they saw a small figure arrive at the school railings. She was dressed in black and had an umbrella. She was very small. The figure looked up and the boys saw Barry's grandma. She walked into the school yard and looked at Scott Dixon and his friend Lee.
"I've been watching you," she said.
She picked up Scott Dixon and threw him up into the air. He flew twenty metres and banged against the school wall.
"That will teach him!" said Grandma. "Come on Barry, let's go home." Barry smiled and all the other children stared in amazement. "Barry's Grandma can do anything!" they said.
The next day Grandma and Barry went shopping. They took the bus into town and went to the market. Then they waited at the bus stop for the bus home.
Suddenly they heard a noise. There was a shop on the other side of the road - a jewellery shop with watches and rings and gold. A bell rang and the glass window broke. Grandma and Barry crossed the road. They saw two men with guns taking all the expensive things.
Grandma went into the shop with her umbrella. The two men saw her and laughed.
"Look at this old dear," they said. Then Grandma did a karate chop on one man. He fell to the floor. She hit the second man with her umbrella and he fell to the floor too. After three minutes a police car arrived. It took the two men away to prison.
"Thanks, Grandma," said the police officer.
Barry and Grandma went home. At six o' clock they watched the news on television. The news was terrible. A big building in London was on fire. They saw people screaming and shouting, "Help! Save us!"
"Come on Barry!" said Grandma. They went into the garden and Grandma opened her umbrella. She took Barry's hand and they flew straight up into the air. They were flying!
They flew a long way very fast. They flew past an aeroplane and Grandma waved to the pilot. He was very surprised!
They arrived in London at the burning building. It was very tall and people were at the windows.
"Help, help!" they shouted.
Grandma left Barry and flew up to the top of the building with her umbrella. One by one she saved all the people.
The fire fighters said, "Thank you Grandma," and Grandma smiled.
"Come on Barry!" she said. "Let's go home for tea."
On Monday morning Grandma got a letter from the Queen. It said 'Thank you, Grandma,' and sent a medal.
At school everybody looked at Barry.
"Look that's Barry Robinson - his grandma can do anything!"
But Barry just smiled.
The End
