The Skateboard Champion

Marlon, Wellington and Boot the dog are looking at skateboards in a shop window, an item that Wellington desires greatly. He wants one for his Birthday, but will he get it? Later, Wellington tries to describe his version of the Battle of Agincourt to his friends which he says was fought on skateboards but they see through his thinly disguised attempt to scrounge presents. On his Birthday, to his delight though he discovers his present, the skateboard. Marlon, Maisie and Boot all watch his antics as he tries to master it. He even resorts to self-hypnosis in a vain attempt to become a skateboard wizard. To his discouragement, it is Boots that is transformed. Realising that he will never become any good at skate boarding, Wellington decides to use his experiences as a spur to achieve greater acclaim, to save mankind. Only, he ruely admits, he'd like to be famous for his skate boarding skills too.
