Doreen Slater (insecto palo) también estaba embarazada. Adrian se preguntaba quien era el padre y esperaba que no fuera el suyo.
Conoció a Courtney Elliot, su nuevo cartero. Por cómo iba vestido, a Adrian le pareció más bien a un profesor de universidad que un cartero. Éste le entregó una carta para su padre. Era de Hacienda, haciendo preguntas sobre el trabajo de George Mole para rellenar un informe.
Adrian y sus padres estuvieron hablando sobre dónde se irían de vacaciones. Su padre dijo que debían aprovechar este verano, ya que al año siguiente, con el bebé, sería difícil irse de vacaciones. Cada uno propuso un destino diferente, de manera que apuntaron los nombres en un papel y eligieron uno. Salió la opción elegida por el padre.
Un día, el director del instituto anunció que el Principe William había nacido. Pandora mostró su oposición a la Familia Real haciendo una pregunta impertinente. Por ello fue castigada a trabajar en una mesa aparte, alejada de sus compañeros. Adrian la escribió una nota para darle su apoyo y decirle que su madre estaba embarazada. Pandora le contestó fríamente.
En vista de que Pandora no iba a volver con él, su amigo Nigel le organizó una cita a ciegas con Sharon Botts, una chica que haría de todo con Adrian a cambio de dinero y un kilo de uvas. Se encontrarían en una pista de patinaje. Adrian estaba un poco preocupado, ya que su “cosa” medía mucho menos que la de Nigel.

Doreen Slater (Stick Insect) was pregnant too. Adrian thought about who could be the father, and he wished that he wasn’t his father.
He knew the new postman, Courtney Elliot. He didn’t like a postman but a university professor; Adrian thought it because of his clothes. There was a letter to George Mole. It was from Tax Departament, they asked thinks about his father’s work to fill in a form
Adrian and his parents were talking about their holidays. His father said that it was their last holidays because it could be difficult to travel with the baby the next year. They suggested three different places, and they wrote their names on a piece of paper. The George’s option was choosen.
One day, the headmaster of the high school said that Prince William was born. Pandora asked an impertinent question because she was against the Royal Family. She was punished and she was put alone in a desk. Adrian wrote her a note where he gave her his support. But she answered coldly.
Adrian understood that Pandora would never return with him. His friend Nigel organized a blind date for Adrian with Sharon Botts, a girl who would do everything with him for some money and a kilo of grapes. They would meet in a roller-skating rink. Adrian was worried because his “thing” was smaller than Nigiel’s “thing”.
ACTIVIDADES
- In what way is Courtney Elliot not an ordinary postman? Because he looked like a university professor. Adrian thought it because of his clothes.
- How did the family decide where to go on holiday and what does this tell us about the way the family functions? Adrian and his parents wanted to go to different places, so they wrote the pace in a piece of paper and they chose a piece. I think all family members are equal, because Adrian could write his opinion and he could win.
