The Story

Buster decides he's going to be the next England captain. He starts by practicising his heading, but the ball lands on his head and goes completely flat. So Buster will have to use an old tennis ball instead. He soon loses control of it and it hits someone in the back of the head. The person kicks it back, but it lands in mud.

Buster decides to try and break his Keepie-up record and does really well, keeping it going all the way home. But at the last minute he loses control and it goes through a window at home. Mum has been redecorating the room, and just as she finished, the muddy ball came in and made a mess of it.

Buster decides instead to break his sprinting record by keeping out of Mum's way.

Notes

The person his by the ball is Ponsonby Niblet - Squodge
