4 but Mum and Dad were not so sure. Buster was BUSTER! EXHAUSTING! I think we need a vacation!

5 Vacation! Ben couldn t wait. BIRD WORLD BUSTER! Until he remembered the last trip... Buster will stay with Grampa! said Mum and Dad firmly.

6 But Grampa doesn t know all the things that Buster likes to do, argued Ben. Then why don t you tell Grampa in a note? asked Dad. Ben found some paper and his pencils and crayons, and started to write...

7 After he had written his note, Ben took Buster for a walk. And after that, he wrote another note.

8 In fact, the more Ben thought about it, the more notes he needed to write... And by the time the family was ready to set off, Ben had more notes than he could count.

9 I feel like I ve forgotten something important, Ben said. Well, you can always send it to me on a postcard, replied Grampa. Now have a great time! BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK Ben hugged Buster goodbye (careful not to squeeze too tightly).

10 Ben did have a great time, but he kept remembering things that he d forgotten to tell Grampa. So he wrote them all down on postcards. But he was still sure he d forgotten something important...

11 When Mum felt sick after eating a bad hot dog, it reminded Ben of something to tell Grampa. And when Dad took a wrong turn on the way to see a famous waterfall, Ben wrote another note. But it was only then that he remembered the very important thing he d forgotten and he wrote one last note as quickly as he could.

12 POST OFFICE But the note arrived too late. Grampa and Buster were already on their way to the post office to pick up a package. POST OFFICE POST OFFICE NO!

13

14 Sit! Sit! Buster was banned Sit! Good boy! Stay! from the post office! Now stay. And Grampa thought Stay! that perhaps it was Stay! time to cure the dog of his bad behavior. It was hard work. Stay! Stay! Stay! Very hard work. So he began to train Buster. I have a bone for you if you listen. Stay! But Grampa knew that hard work always pays off in the end. Great work, Buster!

15 When Ben arrived home, Grampa had a note of his own ready for him.

16 Ben couldn t help it he hugged Grampa and Buster as hard as he could. POOT!

17 In the weeks that followed, Grampa gave Ben a few extra notes about how to train Buster. No, Buster. Sit! No jumping in the bath. Good boy. This time he didn t bark (or fart) in the car. Stay, Buster. The squirrel is our friend. And he didn t chase any birds at all. He was a very well-behaved dog... And they worked so well that Mum even said Buster could come along on the next family vacation.

18 Well, most of the time! BUSTER!
