The Jones family were from a generation who were very sensible and well mannered. They lived in a small village 25km south from the island's coast where happiness was filled in every corner. The family of four had a dad called Andy, a mum called Elizabeth, a daughter called Isabella and a son named George.
One day in the year 1995, Isabella and George were in their bedroom, very bored due to the school holidays.
"Isabella, I'm bored," wailed George. "Can't we do something exciting?"

"- I know, I know. They have strictly forbidden us from going outside or making a huge mess."

"Okay, okay. I'll take you to the park opposite Smith's Mechanical Repairs."
"Yay! Yay! Yay! replied a very cheerful George.
