18. Mr Funny Mr Funny lived in a teapot! He was very strange & drove around in a shoe. Even worms, pigs and flowers laughed at him. One day he went to the zoo but all the animals were sad. Mr Funny cheered them all up by pulling faces. Then he went home for a hot cup of cake

@conradslater I had to check it wasn’t the same people...

17. Mr Lazy Mr Lazy lives in Sleepyland which is a very lazy-looking and sleepy place. He was lazy like everyone and everything else in Sleepyland. One day Mr Busy & Mr Bustle shattered his lazy life & forced him to work very hard. Was it all a bad dream though?

16. Mr Noisy Mr Noisy was a very, very noisy person indeed. You could hear him a hundred miles away. The local townspeople hated his noisiness & taught him a lesson by pretending they couldn’t hear him when he shouted at them. It worked and now Mr Noisy isn’t noisy any more

15. Mr Jelly Mr Jelly was frightened of everything & anything so he lives in a wood miles from anywhere. One day he went for a walk and spent 1 hour up a tree scared of a worm. He also met a tramp who told him his secret for stopping nervousness. Now Mr Jelly is a changed man

14. Mr Forgetful Mr Forgetful can’t remember anything. This makes his life very difficult. One day, a policeman gave him a message for a farmer about “a sheep loose in the lane”. Predictably, he told the farmer about “a goose asleep in the rain”. It all turned out ok though

13. Mr Daydream Jack was a daydreamer. Whatever he was supposed to be thinking about, he found himself thinking about something else. One day during a history lesson he met Mr Daydream, who took him on a great adventure flying around the world on the back of a huge yellow bird

@PumpkinnLatte @yoyitsbubble Maybe something more passive about Mr Miserable catching the Happiness bug would have been better? The other alternative interpretation of the story (my first choice but I couldn’t quite get it to work) would have been writing it as an allegory for drug abuse

3. Mr Happy Mr Happy was always smiling like everything & everyone in Happyland. One day he met Mr Miserable, who lived miles underneath a tree in the woods where the Happiness bug couldn’t get him. Mr Happy brought him to the surface & infected Mr Miserable with Happiness

12. Mr Small Mr Small was very small. He lived at the bottom of Mr Robinson’s garden underneath a daisy. Mr Small couldn’t hold down a job be it filling mustard pots, serving sweets, putting matches in matchboxes or sorting eggs. He sold his story to Mr Robinson’s friend

11. Mr Uppity Mr Uppity was the richest person in the world & also the rudest. He had no friends. Miserable old Uppity! The King of the Goblins put a spell on Mr Uppity that made him goblin-sized every time he was rude. He soon learned his lesson & now he has lots of friends

10. Mr Silly Mr Silly lives in Nonsenseland where everything is as silly as can be: pink trees, blue grass, dogs wearing hats. Every year, the King awards the Nonsenseland Cup to the silliest idea of the year. Mr Silly won it this year by painting a tree green. How silly!

@ChairmanNom Never thought of it like that before but it works well

9. Mr Topsy-Turvy Mr Topsy Turvy did everything back-to-front. He came to our town once and caused chaos: a car crash, a serious escalator accident & a huge traffic jam. Everyone was relieved when he went away but the whole town is still topsy-turvy until this day

@bfdi_ It’s pretty dark isn’t it?

8. Mr Messy Mr Messy was very messy. One day he was walking in a remote forest when he was abducted by Mr Neat and Mr Tidy. They bundled him into the back of their van, drove him to his house and wiped his personality away. Then Mr Messy made friends with his captors

7. Mr Snow The night before Christmas was very snowy. So snowy that Father Christmas got stuck in the snow. He magically brought a snowman to life to help him out. When the snowman had done his job and delivered the presents, Father Christmas took the snowman’s life away again

6. Mr Bump Mr Bump just could not help having little accidents. BUMP! It was sad. Bumping into lampposts. Smashing windows with ladders. He got the sack from lots of jobs for clumsiness: farm labourer, postman, bus conductor, carpenter. He finally found work as an apple picker

5. Mr Sneeze Mr Sneeze lived in Coldland. It was winter all the time so everyone had a red nose, even the elephants. Mr Sneeze was fed up of sneezing so he went off to find a cure. He met a man who changed Coldland’s climate so it was hot all the time, melting all the snow

4. Mr Nosey Mr Nosey was very nosey. No-one in Tiddletown liked him and took radical action. They attacked him with paint, a clothes peg & finally a hammer. They planned to cut Mr Nosey’s nose off with a saw but he’d given up nosiness just in time. Then everyone made friends
