 === The Story ===
-Dizzy was exploring the haunted forest, looking for some berries, flowers and a piece of wood with which to make a club when he uncovered a mystifying stone slab. Brushing the dirt aside he was able to read (after a great deal of head scratching) the faint inscription 'The Avawiffovee Potion' Dizzy remembered his Eggfather had spoke of such a potion. 'It is the only way to rid our land of athletes foot, and it can also be used to destroy the Evil Wizard Zaks.' Dizzy trembled with fear as he recalled these words. Zaks brought fear to the village, he cast spells that turned people old, made men blind and caused it to rain every Sunday afternoon during Cricket. Dizzy was determined to put a stop to all this, he would be the hero of the yolkfolk. He read on... 'Fill a potion bottle with cooked Leprechauns wig, cloud silver lining, Vampire dux feather and some troll brew - cook the potion and throw it at Zaks to dissolve his reign.' He covered it up and quickly made ready to liberate the land of KATMANDU.

−	Dizzy was looking forward to the round-the-world cruise he'd booked for. When he told the other Yolkfolk about the good deal he found, they wondered just what lay ahead of him... Dizzy enjoyed the cruise at first although there were far too many pirates on the ship, the Grog was watered down, and he didn't even know what a mainbrace was, let alone how to splice it! The captain, Long John Silver, was a lovely old bloke with a kindly manner, good at insulting and degrading the fare paying punters.
−	He was well balanced - he had parrot on one shoulder and a chip on the other - and he had a wooden leg which he acquired when he fell out of his pram when he was a kid. Anyhow, their quaint little man o' war found itself in still waters one sun-soaked afternoon, and Dizzy thought he would organise a game of cricket on the aft deck. In a fit of blinding stupidity he used LJ's spare leg collection as makeshift stumps, and when they were lost overboard he was made to walk the plank! That was how he came to find himself gently poaching on the silent, sun-kissed beach of a seemingly deserted island... He had to somehow find a way back to the Yolkfolk and lodge his compensation claim with the travel agent...

She was send to Wizard Weirdo's Tallest Tower, while Dizzy was dragged away and thrown into the deepest, darkest, dankest of the Kings Dungeons in the bowels of Fantasy World. DIZZY was frightened! Who knew what fate awaited him... and he still hadn't done this week's homework! But then he remembered that he had a fresh green apple that he had planned to give his teacher to escape detention, and he cheered up. And there was some bread and water on the table! A cunning plan began to brew in his mind...

−	Dizzy and the Yolkfolk have outraged the Evil Wizard Zaks and he's cast a sinister spell which has sent them to the land of personality. Dizzy can choose who to rescue but to be a true hero, he'll have to save all his friends. Denzil thought he was cool and ended up in the Land of Ice. Left out chill out! Dylan spent most of his time with his head in the clouds, and that's exactly where he found himself stranded high and dry! Grand Dizzy was old and touch senile, his fate was to be cast into Cuckoo Land trapped by clocks and giant teddy bears. Daisy was Zaks' greatest prize and he kept her close to him in his Castle Dungeon protected by his best henchmen.

−	Grand Dizzy was feeling very down one day,so Dizzy and Daisy decided to cheer him up by baking him his favourite food, cherry pie! So off went Daisy to get some cherries from her cupboard and there was none to be seen!
−	"Pogies pinched the cherries!" she cried, as she saw Pogie's pawprint in the cupboard, "That darned Fluffle. Come here you!" and Pogie promptly darted of into the enchanted forest to escape Daisys rage.
−	Dizzy and Daisy decided to go into the forest to catch Pogie and gather some more cherries at the same time. Whilst searching for Pogie they got lost and found a castle, where they thought they would find help, but it seemed deserted. They looked in the castle for Pogie, but Daisy caught herself on a mystic spinning wheel. She started feeling really sleepy, so she found a bed and went to sleep.
−	~~"Wake up Daisy, wake up!" shouted Dizzy. But before he could wake her up, Rockwart the Troll caught him and locked him up under ground!~~
