Dragon Danger / Grasshopper Glue

It didn’t look much like a cake, more like a lumpy pillow. The candle kept toppling over on its side. Freddy stood and looked at the cake for a while.

“It’s not a very pretty cake to give to Odds,” he said to himself. “I wonder how I could improve it?”

He marched thoughtfully round and round the kitchen until a good idea popped into his head.

“I’ve got it!” I could give the cake wings and it could fly out to meet Odds as he came home! That would be a nice surprise!”

Freddy ran through to the wizard room. His heart sank as he looked at the rows of books on magic which stretched from floor to ceiling.

“If I had done my homework, I’d know what I was looking for,” he sighed.

He looked at the titles of the books nearest him.
