Now get down from there, if you can! Robert said.
It was very late when the baker's boy got back to the shop, and the baker was very angry!
Then Robert and the others went home, and down to the bottom of the garden. Anthea asked Martha to bring their lunch out there. She knew that Robert was too big to get into house. Of course, Martha could not see that Robert was much bigger that before, and she only gave him as much meat and potatoes as usual-and no more. Poor Robert was very hungry.
The others were feeling unhappy too because there was a fair in town and they wanted to go to it. 'We can't go anywhere now' Cyril said. Not with Robert like this.
Suddenly Jane cried, 'I know Let's take Robert to the fair Someone there will pay us to show him to people. We can make a lot of money.
The others thought that this was a good plan, and they left at once. When they arrived, they asked to see the head man. His name was Bill, and when he saw Robert, he got very excited.
How much do you want for him? he asked.
You can't buy me, said Robert, but I will come and show myself this afternoon, if you get me fifteen pounds and some food.
Right Bill agreed.
So Bill took Robert inside one of the big fair tents and gave him something to eat. But while Robert was eating, Bill put men outside to stop him from escaping.
Then Bill stood outside the tent and began to shout to the crowds. Come and see the biggest man in the world he cried.
Very soon, people began to stop and listen. A young man and his girlfriend were the first to go and look at Robert. they paid their money to Bill and went in. The people outside heard a loud scream from the girl, and then they all wanted to o in too.
Soon Robert was the most exciting thing to see at the fair, and Bill was making a lot of money. Much more than fifteen pounds Cyril said to the girls.
Poor Robert got very bored. He had to shake hands with everybody and talk, to show that he was real. And how could he escape at the end of the day? They will kill us when I go small again he said.
Cyril thought for a minute. Then he said, I have got a plan, and he went outside the tent to talk to Bill. Look here, he said, my brother must be alone when the sun goes down. He gets very strange and angry then. I don't know why, but you must leave him alone, or he will hurt someone.
Bill was not very happy about this, but he agreed, and when the sun went down, they left Robert quickly got out under the back wall of the tent, and on one knew who he was because he was just a small boy again.
The children ran all the way home and we do not know what Bill said when he found that Robert was not there.
