Before long, Grandpa was fast asleep on the bottom b____k in the boy’s bedroom, snoring for England.

Sadly the food at Grandpa’s home was always diabolical. He called it “r_______s”, as he had during the war.

However, being only twelve years old, Jack felt p_______s to do anything.

The h_______t of Jack’s week was Sunday. That was the day his parents would leave him with his grandfather.

“Well, we’re all really really really worried. Now please let’s not have a competition about who is the most worried!” she shouted a_____y.

Together Grandpa and Jack inhabited their own world and had c_____s imaginary adventures.

Of l____e, Grandpa would become tired during the day. So he took an hour’s nap every day after lunch.

Before the old man had become too c___________d, he would take his grandson on the most magical days out.

Dad was in his pyjamas and d_______g g______n, hunched over the steering wheel of the family’s little brown car.

From their overalls and spades, Jack assumed they must be g________s. Though it seemed strange that they were digging graves in the dead of night.

“What on earth is he on about?” demanded Reverend Hogg, before muttering under his breath, “The man is a complete l____n.”

As was often the case he could hear m________d voices from downstairs and wanted to listen to what his parents were saying.
