Linda Stewart of Elmira, New York, send us the instructions. What you need is clear glass, two bowls, a ladle, strawberry, raspberry, or cherry-flavored gelatin. Any flavor's all right, as long as it's red. lemon gelatin, whipped cream. What you do is dissolve the gelatin according to the directions on the package. A big brother or sister can help you boil the water. Pour about an inch of the red gelatin in the glass. And put it in the refrigerator until it gels.

then put about an inch of the yellow gel in the glass until it gels repeat these steps until the glasses are full and then you have a dessert that looks like a zoom shirt matches huh if If you want, you can put whipped cream on top. Then, take your spoon and eat it. Oh, I wish I could fly.

When did you notice that your buckle was missing? Not buckle, bugle. I noticed it right before I called you, of course. Has anything unusual or suspicious happened around here lately? Let's see. Why, yes, something very unusual happened. And what was that? Well, my gardener was cutting the lawn with the lawnmower when he left a cup of gasoline in the garage. And my little cat, Fifi, fell in the cup and drank the gasoline. Right after that, she started howling and running around the yard. And then she tried to climb a tree, but she only got halfway up it and then fell straight to the ground. And she didn't move. I see. Was she dead?

No, just out of gas. You're right. That is unusual. Let's get that gardener in here. Gardener! I'm the gardener. Aha. Now tell us, what do you know about Mr. Buggy's Bugles? Bumpers, bumpers. Okay, okay. What do you know about Mr. Buggy's Bumpers? Not Buggy's Bumpers! Bumpers Bugles! Bumpers Bugles! All right, all right. What do you know about Mr. Buggy's Bump... Mr. Bumpers Bugles? Why nothing at all? But as Mr. Bumper's got it, I can tell you all about his begonias. Begonias? Beautious, bright, rugged, blooming begonias. Beautious, bright, blooming begonias? Beautious, bright, rugged, blooming begonias. Well, I grow begonias myself, but mine are rugged. Officer, officer, please! My missing bugle!

Ah, yes. Well, this man seems innocent to me. Right. Have you seen anything or anybody around here lately who might have stolen Mr. Bumpy's bugler? Oh, well, the only person I saw come in here was the chauffeur. The chauffeur. The chauffeur. Where's the chauffeur? Chauffeur. Oh, my bugle, my, my, my prize. bugle. So you're the thief. Well, we've caught you. Thief, thief, I didn't steal it. I needed it for my job. Job? What possible use could have shown far half of a bugle? The car needed a tune-up. Mmm, it tastes good. You can decorate a plain shirt with any kind of design that you want to.

You can buy the shirt, or you can recycle an old T-shirt and dye it. Just follow the directions in the back of the package. Then, look around the house for some nifty things that you can use, like studs and beads and ribbon and scraps of material, embroidery thread, buttons, safety pins, waterproof pins, and things like that. And you can also buy decals and material to iron onto the shirts. Notion stores have lots of funny things that can look great in your design. You have to put on things that won't fall off when you put them in the washing machine. And also, be sure to have an adult around when you use the iron or the die. It's best to draw your design before you start. Then you can follow the lines. Now, I like animals, so I put a big tiger decal on the front of my shirt, and also I put on a fake pocket. We've worked really hard in our shirts. I like robots, that's why I put a robot on mine, and I put some pins and some studs on it, star studs, and I made a tracing of a heart and an apple.

I put a sun on my shirt because at that time it was really hot, but I started making it and I had no idea what to put on it. So I just made a circle and put some stars on it to show the beams out. And on the back, I put the opposite, the moon. And I put my name and underlined it. This is my shirt, and on the top it says the Wiz on it. And that's my nickname that I call myself. I have Zoom coming down because I'm on the show. And I'm going to embroider that. and on the side I'm gonna have a tennis racket and a gymnastic person here since I do gymnastics and tennis. On the front of my t-shirt I wrote the word l'chaim which in Hebrew it means to life and I wrote that because I really like the expression and on the back I'm gonna write well has nothing on it now but I'm gonna write to life in English so that everyone will know what l'chaim means.

I guess I did a monster and a professor and I did it all by hand because I like to you know to do things with my hand and make a lot of like sort of like a lot of work for myself and making little things to a big thing. I put on motorcycles on my shirt because I like motorcycles and I have a dirt bike a dirt bike in the back and I have it going up the hill with some dirt and I put studs on it because I like starry designs. Zoom has some new friends in England. Here's a film showing what Alexandra, Janina and Fiona do at their home in Merseyside. I am Alexandra Pulaski.

I started hopping because I couldn't afford to go horse riding. and outside I saw someone riding a space hopper and I thought how nice it would be if I had one. About a year after, I discovered a space hopper box, which was a present from our mum. Then our mum let us have this stock room, which we used as a good stable, and then we acquired some halters and rugs. We also have sweat rugs, which we made out of old pieces of curtain, so our hoppers wouldn't sweat too much after their round if they did too much show jumping. When you get a hopper first you find that your hopper is too hard to ride just yet so you have to soften the rubber and get it broken in properly so it will do whatever you ask him to do and then you get it used to a saddle. and bridle and how to catch it and after that you may start on the training this

is a dressage walk and this is a trot in dressage sitting top now this is trotting on two tracks. And half passes. And this is countering. I'm changing legs. Switch on the music, Fiona. Alright. Thank you.

Come on, Fiona. Come on, get him, Stephanie. Come on, Stephanie. What a fall. She kicked that. Naughty safety. He's not doing well today, are you? What the hell are you gaffling out the ring?

You're gonna. Wait a sec. Don't move yet. I've got to fix up the job. Hurry up. Watch out. Keep the charm steady. Uh-oh. That'll be coming up. Oh, wow. Nearly landed in the water. She was awful at that. Come on, let's see who's first.

I'll wait for my rosette. Thanks. Here you are. Thank you. Thanks, Fiona. Alexandra and Fiona wrote to us, Dear Zoom, we are very pleased that the film about our hobby is being shown in America. We are still interested in space hoppers and are teaching our new school friends the art of hopper riding. They are very interested and show good promise. We are starting a home for hoppers, and we already have 13, including our own nine. Alex has written some books, including Sylvia and the Bouncing Brigade and A Hopper to School. Janina and Fiona have also written some books of their own, too.

Well, good luck to you Zoomers in America. Our very best wishes. Good luck to you two with your hoppers and your books. Never grow up, never grow up. Not me. Not I. Not me. Not me. I won't grow up. I won't grow up. I don't want to wear a tie. I don't want to wear a tie. In serious expression. In serious expression. In the middle of July. In the middle of July.
