" Yes its Boxing Day!" Barney shouted out early in the morning.

" Calm down, you need to get up first." Lou replied from next door.

Barney got dressed, had breakfast and went downstairs. " Presents yay!" Barney yelled.

" Happy Boxing Day, kids open your gifts."

Grandma said coming down the stairs.

Lou opened her gifts first and got a new phone and make-up set. She was overjoyed and pranced around the living room with pride.

" What rubbish thing have you got loser?"

" Hey don't call him that or you won''t be going to that party this evening!" Grandma sternly shouted.

Barney opened his present next. It was an oblong shape and long. Barney wandered what it was. A book?, a laptop? No it was a tablet! This time Barney jumped all around the house with joy

and screaming that he had a tablet. Barney was so jumpy and excited he

nearly knocked over Lou's new phone that was resting on the arm of the chair, charging. This so unexpected he thought and was desperate to reveal the tablet to Stig. Barney rushed to the coat peg and grabbed his new jacket from Lou.

" Barney where are you heading off to? " Granny asked curiously.

Barney hesitated for a few seconds. " Um... I'm off to the park. He replied back.

" On Boxing Day? Wouldn't it be closed on special occasions? Anyway Iv'e noticed your tablet so might need this."

Grandma opened Barney's hand and handed him a crimson- wine coloured tablet case.

" Put it on now I don't want this to be given to me cracked when you find the tablet useless." " Oh and I forgot be back by five because we have some friends of mine who are going to come round so always keep checking your watch."

Barney ran out of the door so speedily that he was at Stig's den in almost an instant.

" Stig, where are you?" Barney called out. " I have something to show you, are you home?"

Stig grunted when he saw Barney standing next to him. " Aren' t you glad to see me Stig, don't you know what day it is!" Stig grunted repeatedly. " Day, day,day!!"

" Yes Stig Boxing Day we opened presents in the morning." Guess what that's when I got this tablet!"

Stig did his begging face that Barney recognised.

" Are you begging for my tablet?!"

'Grunt

' Stig said.

Barney handed Stig the tablet cautiously.

" Careful please, Grandma would detest if I broke it."

Stig glanced at the tablet inquistively and carefully. Barney observed him happily.

" Stig return this to me please." Barney gabbled quickly.

"N...no"

" Please I''m in a rush to get home now."
