None of these paths and none of these roads
Will actually tell you where they all go
But I have heard if you keep walking down
You will arrive in Yeti town

The people in Yeti Town look a bit scary
Because they are bigger than us and they are hairy
But Yeti’s are kind and gentle to
They wouldn’t hurt me and they wouldn’t hurt you

Now this story is about a time when all Yeti’s
Would only ever eat lots of spaghetti!
Spaghetti for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner
Some days they would see who could eat the most
Then announce the Spaghetti winner

So this is how they used to live way down in Yeti town
They would eat spaghetti all day long and even all year round.

Then one day the Doctor came and he saw straight away
There were no Yeti’s walking round and no children out to play.
The sun was out, the weather was warm yet all the streets were empty.
“What’s going on?” the Doctor thought ” Where are all the Yeti’s?”.

The Doctor looked in every house down every single street.
Not one Yeti was awake! all were sound asleep
The doctor saw spaghetti bowls everywhere he looked
On kitchen tables, beside the beds and on stoves half cooked.

” This is not good” the Doctor thought ” Just look at all these Yeti’s”
” They sleep all night and sleep all day, and only eat spaghetti!”
The Doctor knew exactly why the Yeti’s were asleep.
By eating spaghetti every day, they all lacked energy!.

The Doctor walked back to the centre of town
And he rang the church bells ever so loud.
The church bells rang and rang and rang until the Doctor Saw
that every Yeti was now awake and not sleeping anymore.

” Now listen to me” The Doctor said ” I speak to all you Yeti’s”.
You’ve all turned in to sleepyheads because you only eat spaghetti!”

You eat spaghetti for breakfast,spaghetti for lunch and even spaghetti for dinner”.
” You even try to eat the most so you become the spaghetti winner!”.

“It isn’t healthy just to eat spaghetti so this cannot carry on”
” Not if you want the Yeti children to grow up big and strong”

” They need to eat all kinds of foods like carrots,potatoes and beans”
” For these are the foods that help them grow with all the vitamins”
” Fruit and veges must be eaten with smaller amounts of spaghetti”
” Then instead of being sleepyheads, they’ll become more energetic”.

” And it’s the same for all parents” the healthy Doctor said”
” Who really wants to spend all day sleeping in their bed?”

” Well that explains it” said a yeti from the crowd
” So this is why we laze about!”.
” We have all been eating to much spaghetti”
” It’s turned us in to sleepy Yeti’s!”

” That’s correct” the Doctor said ” and did you Yeti’s know?”
” If you eat fruit and vegetables, it helps your brain to grow”
” These types of food have vitamins, iron and even zinc”
” It’s what your brain wants you to eat so it can help you think!”.

A yeti boy from within the crowd yelled ” Well Doctor, I’m not ready!”
” Fruit and vegetables sound yuk to me so I’ll just eat spaghetti!”

” That’s all very well” the Doctor replied ” If you want to stay sleepy and small”.
” But how will you feel when you see all your friends, grow healthy big and tall?”.

With the advice of the doctor the Yeti boy thought
I do want a brain that can think and be taught
And I do want my body to grow big and strong
I don’t even like sleeping all day long!.

All the other Yeti’s agreed
They should eat less spaghetti and more spuds and peas
Fruit and veges is what they shall eat
Then yummy spaghetti could be eaten as a treat.

In just a few days the doctor could see
The Yeti’s were all full of energy
By eating all vitamins, Iron and Zinc
Their brains were alert and were able to think

A big change was made in Yeti town
Deep in the mountains way way down
And if you ever find the town of the Yeti’s
You will see them eating fruit and veges

So if YOU want to grow healthy and strong like a Yeti
Then eat fruit and vegetables with your yummy spaghetti

Note from Gerry- When we meet you then you will be able to show us your big healthy muscles and quick thinking brain.
That’s if you eat more fruit and vegetables!, Goodnight earth angle and sleep tight xxx

The flying machine shaped like a broad bean
Was the oddest thing I’d ever seen
And as I watched it come speeding down
It landed safely on the ground

When the door flung open that’s when I did see
A Martian Ant staring straight back at me
He wore a helmet, jacket and pants
He truly was a Martian Ant

” Hello” I said ” What is your task”
” Are you on a mission may I ask?”
“It has to be something as big as the stars”
” Because this is Earth and you flew from Mars”

” Well hello to you to” said the Martian Ant
” I will answer you questions as much as I can”
” Indeed I did, I flew from Mars”
” And I am on a mission that is as ig as the stars”

” Ig as the stars” I asked ” What does ig Mean?”
” Ig is not an English word that I have heard or seen”

” No” Said the Martian Ant ” Ig is not a word”
” Atleast not in English that we have seen or heard”
” On Mars we speak words like ig, uzz and ees”
” Yet they aren’t real words to you or to me”

” Ig, uzz and ees even to Martians sound strange”
” Let me tell you” said the Martian ” Why these words have changed”

” These words had never been in our vocabulary”
” We used to make sense by speaking perfectly”
” Yet since we have lost a letter, our words have not been clear”
” One day the sound of letter just disappeared!”

“All us Martian Ants looked around ”
” We searched on different planets and stars”
” We tried to find the missing letter”
” But it just simply escaped from Mars”

“So the reason I have come to Earth is, I really need to check”
” As I may find the missing letter in your English alpha- et”

” Alpha-et what is that? What does alpha-et mean?”
” Is alpha-et an english word?”
” Not that I have heard or seen”

” No” the Martian Ant replied “alpha-et is not a word”
” At least not in English that we have seen or heard”

” It’s the fault of the missing letter that makes the word sound weird”
” If we could find the missing letter then a real word may appear”

“Alpha-et, alpha-et now let’s all try and see”
“What is missing from this word”
Which letter could it be”

“Could it be? could it be the letter B
” Yes it is, Can you see? it is the letter B”

Lets write the word ALPHA- ET
And lets place the letter B
After the second letter A
And before the letter E
Now Alpha-et
Makes Alphabet Can you see?

” Well blow me down” said the Martian Ant
” Yes I see and I understand”
” Alpha-et was missing a letter
“Adding the b makes it so much better”

It changes Alpha-et which is not a real word
To Alphabet and that I have seen and heard”

” But although the word alphabet sound so much better”
” Should we be looking for another missing letter?”

What other letter does the Martian Ant need?

We need look NO further for it is the letter b
The letter b is what the Martian Ants need
Because if we write a b before ig,uzz and ees
We will get perfect words, big, buzz and bees!

Can you see? Can you see they just need the letter b

” I can see I can see” said the Martian Ant
He was jumping for joy and clapping his hands
” The missing letter truly is the letter b”
” So I need to take this b home with me”

As the Martian Ant walked into his flying machine
He turned and said “thank you all for helping me”
” Without your help I may not have found the missing letter”
” And with b back on Mars our words will sound better”

The Martian Ant then flew his flying machine
All the way home with the letter b
He flew through the clouds and past many stars
Until he and b landed on Mars.

A note from Gerry: I hope you enjoyed the little story about the Martian Ant. Time for bed now. Good night Earth Angel and sleep tight . xxx

Yes it sounds very grown up doesn’t it!!.

But let me tell you what that really means…

When you give something to somebody, it doesn’t have to be anything expensive!.
In fact, it doesn’t even have to be something you had too buy at the shop even!!
The gift just has too be something you are giving because you want make somebody else happy.

If you can do that then this is what we call
‘ Giving from the heart’
and that’s a really nice thing you can do for somebody!.

Take this beautiful flower for instance.

This flower was given to me by a 6 year old fan who picked this flower all by himself.
He thought it was the prettiest flower on the bush and therefore he wanted to pick it off and give it to Gerry the Crocodette.
When he gave me this flower he made me feel like the happiest Crocodette ever, for not only is this a beautiful flower, it’s the fact that he purposely picked it for me to make me happy!!.

And do you know something?!! He made me very happy!!
This is the most meaningful flower I have ever been given.

This is why we Croco’s love receiving beautiful paintings and drawings of our fans too.
It’s the fact they are thinking of us all and they want to give us their art work because they know it will make us happy.
And that it does indeed my friends, it makes us all very happy when we are given things that were given ‘from the heart’ xoxoxoxox
