Foreword

Dear Friends,

Percy and James have had a very difficult time with each other. Poor James had so much work, so the Fat Controller sent Percy to help him. However, their rivalry kept them from getting along. I'm glad to say they have amended their rivalry, and are back together, after certain mishaps which you will see in the next book . . . I was actually with them a couple days ago, looking for more stories to write;

"Write about me, please," James had begged.

"All right. What is there about?" I asked.

"When I came to help you, of course!" Percy said, cheekily.

"No! Please! Not that!"

"Why not?" Percy replied, cheekily. "It'll be fun!"

It was fun, and I hope you will enjoy them too.

The Author.
