"Everyone ran up to where the magic spin tub
was, and sure enough, Willifred Smellie stood up all
soaking and wet.
"Oh, my Lord, where am I? What happened? I'm
naked!"
Zuetta Troll handed Mr. Smellie a blanket.
"Suzell, Pretty, Sunshine, where have you been
and what are these things?"asked Willafred. "I was
taking a bath and everything just went crazy and I came
here."
Suzell explained everything that happened to Mr.
Smellie, why they were there, and how she and the girls
broke in and stole the trolls' recipe book. She was sure to
let Willifred and the friendly troll family know that she
knew she had done something wrong and felt sorry about
it. Willafred demanded he and his family leave.
"Oh, no you cannot leave now. When the time is
right, the magic spin tub will bring you home," said
Zuetta.,
"No we will walk out that door and go home,"
yelled Willafred.
"Can we stay a little longer, Daddy? We were
gonna help Mrs. Wittle make Frafrufer Muffin Stuffin
Cakes," begged Sunshine.
Mr. Smellie ordered his wife to grab the twins,
and they headed for the door. When Willafred opened the
door, it was not Sweet Poppy that he saw before him but
total darkness, like space, and filled with thousands of
stars. Mr. Smellie slammed the door shut.
"Mr. Smellie, when you stole the key and came
past our door you left your world completely, but not we
ours. For we are able to be in both worlds at one time, but
not you. That's why the only way back home for you is
through the magic spin tub. What you saw outside was
Gaffa, sort of a magical outer space. Something a human
cannot pass through," explained Zeepedee.
"What do you want?" asked Willafred.76
