Mr Biggon Has A Bath

Good morning class! Isn't it lovely out this morning! I may very well leave it out! It looks like we really have been blessed with a glorious Friday to end the week with. Today boys and girls, as it's Friday, I would like to start the day with a lovely story.

Are you sitting comfortably? . . . Then I'll begin.


This is Mr Biggon, or Ivor to his friends. Ivor is having a bath. (See all the bubbles. Splish, splish, splash).

Ivor’s wife Melonie has gone to the local shop down the road to buy some salad for tea. (Do you like salad? Ivor does).

Ivor liked to have his bath when Melonie was out, as it meant he wouldn’t be disturbed. Ivor loved having a long relaxing bath and had a special way of cleaning himself using the inside of the loofah.

Suddenly Ivor’s bubbly bliss was disturbed. There was someone at the door. (Can you make the sound of a doorbell? "Ding-Dong!")

This made Ivor very cross! Ivor said some very rude words! (Do you know any rude words?) Ivor knew lots!

This is Ivor running down the stairs, covering the carpets with bubbles and opening the door in his bathrobe. (Why do you think Ivor has a door in his bathrobe?)

Miss Demeanor the post-lady was at the door. "Hello Mr. Biggon" says Miss Demeanor. "Hello Miss Demeanor" says Ivor. Miss Demeanor says. "I have a parcel for you Mr. Biggon. Is it one of your special video films about people who have lost all their clothes?"

This made Ivor blush. Look at how red Ivor's cheeks are! Maybe the bathwater was a little hot and the bathrobe a little short.

"No!" said Ivor, "it is some organ music I have been waiting for.”

"Miss Demeanor says "Is that your organ over there I can see, the big shiny one?" "Yes" said Ivor, "it's a 7-stop 2-manual 1938 Woodstock pipe organ but I can't use it at the moment as pumping it makes Melonie’s arm ache".

"I could pump it for you if you like" says Miss Demeanor. (How kind and thoughtful Miss Demeanor is!)

"That would be lovely" says Ivor, "but you have to pump quite hard to get it going as my bellows are rather old and perished".
(Look at how good Miss Demeanor is at pumping). Pump-pump-pump.

Now let’s listen as ivor plays Bach"s Prelude & Fugue in D major. (How clever Ivor is!).

Miss Demeanor says "That was lovely Mr.Biggon". Ivor blushed again.

Just then Melonie arrived home carrying all the food she had bought for their salad later on.

"Hello Mrs. Biggon" puffed Miss Demeanor. "Mr. Biggon was showing me the organ in his bathrobe. He can do some wonderful things with it - even though he is out of practice and it takes quite a bit of pumping!".

Now Melonie is getting a big green cucumber out of her bag!

Are you sitting comfortably?

Ivor isn't. Poor Ivor.
