Pip had a very important plan for the day: do nothing at all. The plan lasted about four seconds. Grandma's garden was the biggest small place in the world, full of paths that went somewhere new every time. Pip wanted everything right now: dinner now, the swing now, the end of the story now. Pip tripped over absolutely nothing, then bowed as if he had meant to do it all along.

There were sunflowers taller than Grandma, beans climbing up strings, and a gnome with a chipped nose who had seen everything. Waiting was the hardest thing in the world for Pip. Even waiting for toast felt like a whole year.

Because just then, a very out of breath messenger came skidding around the corner, shouting, "Help! Somebody has to get to the Wishing Well at the bottom of the garden!" A hiccup arrived, stayed for exactly eleven hiccups, and then left without saying goodbye.
