Bobble has landed

By Antonia T, JB Brazil

In 1938 bobble landed in Bucharest next to a house. He didn’t know whose

house it was.

At the door there was a man. The man said:

‘Hi, I’m King Carol’

‘Hi, my name is Bobble! And I have a question for you.’

‘Come on’ said the king. I’m curious’

‘Ok, where am I? ‘

‘Bobble, you are in Bucharest on the King’s street’

Bobble was very happy because he had heard about Bucharest King’s street.

Then he said:

‘King carol, I want to build a school. Would you like to help me? Please say

yes’

The king answered: ‘yes, I would love to? But where can we build it? And

what name should we choose?’

Bobble told him that he didn’t know. ‘I haven’t got any idea. You should

know, you are from Bucharest.’

King Carol said: ‘Because I would like Romanians to learn English we could

call it The British Council. And we could start here in my house. I’m offering

you my house to start this super thing!’

And this is how Bobble helped King carol to open The B.C. in Bucharest.

Bobble flies to the moon

By Eliza, Mara and Victor, JB Brazil

We are in the 1960s.

On the 20th July 1969 Neil Armstrong was preparing to land on the moon.

Bobble called him:

‘Blrr, blrr…!’

‘Who’s there?’

‘Oh, I should switch on my translating machine.’

‘Neil, please wait for me. Mind my camera, I’m going to film your landing’

‘Ok, I’ll have a cup of tea till you come’

‘Blrr, blrr…Oh, sorry, this means thank you!’

Bobble took his rocket and went to meet Neil before he landed on the moon.

Once he landed on the moon, he liked it so much and what he saw out of the

window made him want to have a walk around.

‘Blrr, blrr… I must go and find Neil.

Bobble knocked on Neil’s capsule.

‘Neil, I’m here. you can come out now. I’ve turned on my camera.’

‘What? Why did you walk on the moon before me?’

Bobble got scared. He took his bocket- rocket and flew away.

‘I’m still the first who walked on the moon!!!!’ Neil muttered to himself.

But…

Where is Bobble now?

Maybe this is what happened to him ……

Bobble Murder Mystery

By Adria and Ilinca, JB Brazil

In 2012 Bobble disappeared.

Leroy Grozon wanted to investigate this murder mystery.

First he inspected Professor Broccoli. He said:

‘Bonjour Monsieur Broccoli. I’d like to ask you some questions about Bobble.’

‘What do you want to know?’

‘Where were you last night?’

‘I..I..I…was ….uhmmm…at …uhmm…the restaurant’

‘Oh, really?’

‘Yes, of course’

‘OK…’

‘What?! Do you call me a liar?! Me?! A professor! A liar?!’

‘OK, OK. Good-bye!’

Then, Leroy Grozon went to the restaurant where Professor Broccoli pretended to be.

He asked the waitress:

‘Did you see Professor Broccoli here last night?’

‘No, sorry. But I saw him at the café buying coffee.’

‘Oh…do you know what for?’

‘No, sorry. ‘

‘OK, good-bye!’

‘Good bye!’

A little later Bobble rang up Leroy Grozon, the inspector.

“Help me, please! Professor Broccoli and the Caffeinians have captured me!...beep beep

beep’

‘Bobble, are you there?’

The Caffeinians landed in front of Leroy Grozon’

‘Bobble!’

And Bobble gave the inspector a big furry hug.

The Caffeinians and Professor Broccoli eventually died because of too much coffee.

Bobble and Leroy Grozon lived happily ever after.

Bobble and the JB Brazil kids

By Ianis and Ioana, JB Brazil

One day, Bobble was invited by the JB Brazil kids to have a cup of tea at the

British Council Bucharest.

They liked so much spending time with Bobble that they decided to have a Tea

Party in the kitchen.

Bobble invited the kids in his bocket - rocket on a trip around the world.

They landed in Japan to drink a cup of tea because the Japanese love tea.

Bobble said: ‘bobblicious tea!’

The children asked: ‘What does bobblicious mean?’

‘it means delicious!’ came the answer.

After that, they landed in Finland to meet Santa with the reindeer.

‘Ho,ho,ho! What are you doing here, kids?’

“We came here to meet you’ answered Bobble and the kids.

‘I’ll give you some presents’, said Santa.

‘Hurray!’ exclaimed everyone.

‘Little Bobble, I’ll give you a very very big tea making machine’.

After Finland they went to China. They saw the great Wall.

Bobble was curious: ‘How long is this Chinese Wall?’

A Chinese man told them it is 8851 kilometres long!

The they went to the Himalaya Mountains. And met Yeti.

‘What are you doing here?’ growled Yeti.

The kids were frightened of the snow monster. But Bobble tickled him to death.

After the Himalayas they went to Hawaii where they danced the Hula. Bobble

wondered: ‘Why do I have to wear this skirt?’

They finished their trip by returning to the BC and landed back in Bucharest on

the library roof.

Bobble

By Vlad, JB Brazil

One day Bobble came to the British Council Bucharest . The JB Brazil kids had invited

him.

They made tea for Bobble and they had a tea party!

Then they went on a trip around the world.

First they landed in Japan to drink a cup of tea because the Japanese love tea.

Bobble said: ‘Bobblicious tea!’

After that they landed in Finland to meet Santa.

‘Ho, ho, ho! Hello Bobble!’

“hello Santa!’

‘Can you introduce me to your friends?’

‘Yes, of course. He is Vlad. He is very very very smart. And here are Ianis, Maya and

Ioana.’

Then they landed in Romania and went back to the BC.

Bobble said to the kids:

‘I want to teach you how to prepare bobblicious tea.’

‘Yeah!’ the kids cheered.

‘And do you know how to cook sausages?’

‘Yes, but we want tea!’

So Bobble taught them how to cook tea. Then he went on to another planet and another

BC.

Bobble the musician

By Antonia, Irina, Stephan and Radu, JB Brazil

In 1930 Bobble landed on the earth. He landed in London where he lived quite

uneventfully until the 1960s when he met ….The Beatles!

How this encounter took place nobody knows, and Bobble is quite secretive about

it.

One thing is sure: The Beatles liked the Bocket-Rocket (Bobble’s spaceship) so

much that they decided to write a song about it. They called it ‘The Yellow

Boborocket’ and it goes like this:

On the planet where I was born

Lived an alien who flew through space

And he told us of his life

In the world of boborockets

So he flew on through all space

Till he found the blue planet

And he landed in a city

In his yellow boborocket

We all live in the yellow boborocket

Yellow boborocket, yellow boborocket

We all live in the yellow boborocket

Yellow boborocket, yellow boborocket

And our aliens are all aboard

Many more of them live on this planet

And the rocket begins to fly

Full speed ahead, Mr Broccoli, full speed ahead!

Full speed over here, sir!

All together! All together!

As we live a life of ease

Every one of us has all we need

Sky of blue and lots of tea

In our yellow boborocket

We all live in the yellow boborocket

Yellow boborocket, yellow boborocket

We all live in the yellow boborocket

Yellow boborocket, yellow boborocket

The song was a huge success!

A few years later Bobble met the famous band Queen.

The musicians were very depressed because they had no ideas for new songs.

Bobble said: ‘I can sing for you a very special song. It is the national anthem of my

home planet, Planet Bob.

I’ve made my tea

Time after time

I’ve bobbled around

But committed no crime –

I’ve landed here

All by myself

But I’ll never forget where I come from

And who I am

We are The Bobbles, my friends

And we’ll keep on bobbling till the end

We are The Bobbles

We are The Bobbles

No time for coffee

‘cause we’re the tea makers of the world!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

And this is how Queen got the idea for their big hit!

The Bobble electronic machine

By Denisa, JB France

Hello, we all know Bobble very well, so let’s talk about Bobble.

One day, Bobble didn’t want to drink tea anymore and he was very sad

because on another planet he had a friendly little sister and he

didn’t know where she was. So he made an electronic machine to

communicate with his sister.

But he was scared.

Maybe if he does this, it’ll be a bad thing. What can he do?

He called Professor Broccoli but he didn’t know what to do either.

So they decide to call Miss Spinach.

She was Professor Broccoli’s girlfriend. She said:

‘What can I do for this little creature?’

‘I am a Bobble, not a creature.’

‘Sorry, Bobble. So, what have you made?’

‘I’ve made an electronic machine so that I can communicate with my

sister.’

What can he do...?

You will find out another day, and maybe in another story…

Thank you for now. Bye!

The Caffeinians

By Max, JB France

When Bobble went on the alien planet a Caffeinian captured Bobble and he wanted to kill him.

In his prison cell Bobble found a laser gun and he killed all the Caffeinians on the planet.

Then he went back to the earth.

There the Caffeinians had attacked and killed Professor Broccoli.

Then Bobble went to the funeral at the British Council. So everyone was very sad.

Bobble’s adventures

By Victor, JB France

Chapter 1

One day Professor Broccoli took Bobble for a lesson. But the professor didn’t want to

teach him anything, he wanted to torture Bobble because he was a Caffeinian. He

took bobble into a torture room especially designed for Bobble. He told Bobble that

teachers torture, but that professors teach!

He told Bobble that if he sleeps on a torture table, when he wakes up he will be the

smartest creature in the universe.

When he woke up the Caffeinians attacked him, but Bobble killed them all with the

torture laser.

He didn’t kill Professor Broccoli.

Guess why?

Because bobble didn’t want to be a people killer. Just a Caffeinian killer!

Chapter 2

Bobble ran away, took a toy car and drove away from the school. But he didn’t find

the exit. He drove on and saw a window. He drove through the window and

escaped.

He drove to a tea shop and asked the shop owner if he could live there. The man

said that he could live there but just for four days.

‘You can live here but just for four days!’

“Why just for four days?!’

‘Because in five days the Caffeinians will attack to take the tea and change it into

coffee; and if they see you, they’ll kill you!’

So Bobble went away again, on new adventures…

Bobble’s moon adventure

By Alex, JB France

The 20th of July 1969 was a big day for Bobble. He and the NASA astronauts

landed on the moon. Bobble was very happy.

Then he heard a strange noise. He saw a dark-brown spaceship.

‘Oh no, not so soon!’ exclaimed Bobble

‘What, what’s happening?’ asked Neil Armstrong

‘It’s the Caffeinians!!’

‘Who are these Caffeinians?’

‘Our greatest enemies!’

‘Oh! And what can they do?’

‘They make coffee!’

‘Coffee? And what’s so dangerous about it?’

‘See? This is dangerous!’

‘What??’

‘A hot coffee beam!’

‘AAAAAAhhhhhhh…!’

‘See? I told you!’

‘We’d better go home, Bobble!...Hey, where are you? Don’t play hide-and-

seek with me! Bobble!’

While Neil was looking for Bobble, he was a prisoner in the Caffeinians’

spaceship! They were telling him:

‘You will be a coffee drinker!’

‘Never! I am a tea drinker for life!’

‘Good! Then we’ll force you!’

And when the Caffeinians were preparing the coffee Bobble remembered that

he had invented a tea-bomb. ‘If I have to drink coffee, you’ll have to

drink tea!’

And he threw the tea-bomb on the spaceship and escaped.

Bobble the BC mascot

By Radu, JB France

The whole world was excited. Neil Armstrong was the first man in the world to step on

the moon. Bobble was filming the scene.

‘One small step for a man, a giant leap for……Hey! Wait! Did you film this? What’s that

noise?’

The Caffeinians had found Bobble and wanted to kidnap him, so they took over the

moon and sent Neil Armstrong back into space.

‘Why did you do that?’

‘Shut up! We don’t caaaare!!’

The Caffeinians took Bobble to an ice planet.: The Great Monster Iceberg, because the

planet was invaded by monsters.

Bobble was wearing an astronaut costume and he had it on when the spaceship left

him on the planet.

Bobble met another alien, Xcity, who told him that there was an old abandoned

spaceship on the other side of the planet. Xcity gave Bobble a weapon and he went to

find this spaceship.

Bobble stayed on the ice planet for ten years.

During this time the Caffeinians stole all the tea reserves on the earth.

Bobble killed all the monsters on the ice planet and he flew away in the old spaceship.

But because it wasn’t a bocket-rocket he didn’t know how to control it so he crashed

into the biggest Caffeinian spaceship. He fought against them and then went to their

boss and said:

‘I am bobble and I want back all the tea!’

‘I won’t give you any tea! I don’t caaare!!’

‘Oh, yes you caaare!!’

Bobble fought with the boss and won.

After this he travelled back to the earth and brought all the tea back.

In the 2010s Bobble was very excited to visit all the BC buildings around the world. And

this is how he became the symbol of the BC.

Where is Bobble?

A murder mystery

by Ilinca, Mara and Jennifer, JB France

On a beautiful Friday The JB France students invited Bobble to pay them a visit at

the British Council Bucharest. After the lesson they decided to take him on a tour of

the British Council.

Bobble said: ‘Bobbletastic!’

He followed the kids around the BC building.

‘Hmmm…It smells strange around here. Oh, no,no,no! A Caffeinian is somewhere

in the BC!’

Bobble was scared and ran into the campus building. He went into a classroom by

mistake. The teacher invited him to have some tea. But it was a trap! The teacher

changed into a Caffeinian! He kidnapped poor Bobble.

‘Help, help! ‘ cried out Bobble. I’ve been bobblenapped!

After four hours the kids from JB France still couldn’t find him anywhere!

‘What’s happened to Bobble? Has he been kidnapped?’

‘Yes. Do you know anyone who wishes to harm little and cute Bobble?’

Two days later The JB kids travelled to London to meet Professor Broccoli. They

were accompanied by a detective.

‘No, said the professor. I don’t know anyone who can hate this friendly and funny

Bobble.’

‘Please, think about it.’

‘Oh, I remember our little friend told me that in space there are some creatures who

hate the Bobble Sapiens! They are the Caffeinians!’

‘A Caffeinian is probably right now at the BC!’

‘Oh, no! We must go back and find the suspect!’

The kids and Professor Broccoli went to the BC and saw the director. Together they

decided that all teachers should be banned from drinking coffee.

‘Now, let’s see if everybody respects our rule!...’

They went into all the classrooms and everything was ok. Then they went to the

library and nothing raised suspicion. But there was a place which hadn’t been

checked. The kitchen! No problem. They were just heading that way.

‘Look! said a child! There is a teacher who drinks coffee!’

‘Aha! You are the suspect! Take off your costume!’

And this is how they found the Caffeinian in disguise. They asked him where Bobble

was.

Of course he refused to answer.

So Professor Broccoli came up with the idea of torturing the alien!

They made him drink cup after cup of tea!

‘Noooo!...I’ll tell you anything you want! Just don’t make me drink any more of this

disgusting tea!!! Pleeease!!!’

So in the end the Caffeinian told them where Bobble was. He was locked up in the

coffee machine!

They hurried to take him out.

Poor bobble was very scared and wet.

‘Thank you, friends! That coffee machine was starting to give me a headache…’

And now everybody understood why the coffee machine wasn’t working and why

all the teachers were sleepy.

PS: If you want to find out what happened with the Caffeinian in

disguise….well,….that is another story!

Bobble’s dream

By Alexandra, JB France

Bobble was flying in the sky in his bocket-rocket wandering where to go.

Suddenly his phone rang. He tried to answer it but didn’t know where it was. He

looked in his bocket-rocket but he didn’t find anything except a lot of tea. He

tried to look in his pockets but there was one problem: he didn’t have any

pockets!

Finally he realized that his tummy was ringing like a phone!

It was probably an effect of the anti-ageing serum that he had drunk. He pushed

his belly-button and a voice started to talk: it was Professor Broccoli! He said:

‘Hello Bobble, please come to my house! I have something to show you!’

Bobble went to the Professor’s house and there he saw the nicest, biggest,

prettiest creature on the whole earth: it was a big, fat Guinea pig!

Bobble said with excitement:

‘This is a Bobble! This is a Bobble!’

Then he started to drink cups after cups of tea. That’s a Bobble’s way of showing

he is happy.

‘Oh, Bobble, I don’t want to break your heart, but this is not a Bobble, it’s a

Guinea pig...’

Bobble’s face went white, then green, then white again and he fainted. After he

woke up he was angry and started to drink potions.

‘No!!! Stop, Bobble!....’

But it was too late. Strange things started to happen to Bobble and after some

weird and funny changes he turned into a talking frog. He said:

‘Am I a Guinea pig?’

The Professor didn’t answer the question but he said with a scared voice: ‘Just

don’t look in the mirror!’

But Bobble didn’t listen and looked in the mirror; he started shouting:

‘Aaaaaaaaahh! I’m a Caffeinian!’

‘No, you are not! You are just a frog!’

‘I’m a very small Caffeinian!’

‘Can you show me what a Caffeinian looks like?’

‘Yes!’ He went to his bocket-rocket and searched in his teapot backpack and got

a pencil and some paper. After that he took a teacup and poured tea from his

backpack.

‘Mmmm….tea!’

And when finished drinking the tea he turned back into a fluffy Bobble!

After that he started drawing. When he finished it looked like a giant frog with

brown skin and a purple tongue.

‘This is what a Caffeinian usually looks like! He can change his shape and

sometimes he looks like a pot of coffee.’

‘Bobble, I am afraid I can’t help you but I know someone who can.’

‘Who?’ asked Bobble.

‘The alien expert, Miss Eggplant!’

‘Yuk! I don’t like eggplants! But where is she?’

‘She’s right next door! She’s my neighbour!’

‘But how do I get there?’

‘I’ve got an idea’ said the Professor.

He went quickly into his lab and came out with a simple slingshot.

‘Behold, the slingshot X3000!!!’

Bobble was confused:

‘But it’s just a simple slingshot!’

‘This is not a simple slingshot!’

‘And why is it so special?’

‘Because it was made by me! Now let’s try it”

He put bobble in the slingshot and aimed at the expert’s house. When he

entered the house he found a lot of coffee. He heard a strange noise and when

he looked in the kitchen he saw a Caffeinian drinking coffee. He shouted:

‘Help! I saw a Caffeinian! The neighbour is a Caffeinian!’

He ran to his bocket-rocket. And got his tea-gun. He splashed the Caffeinian

with tea and he turned into a frog.

But soon he ran out of tea. ‘Help! I’ve got no more tea!’

A Caffeinian came out of nowhere and he was about to kidnap Bobble. When he

looked into Bobble’s scared eyes he suddenly ran away! Bobble thought:

‘Hmm…maybe some Caffeinians aren’t so bad after all. I wish that Caffeinians

and Bobbles were friends….’

Maybe one day Bobble’s dream will come true…

Bobble’s Return

By Maya, JB Brazil

Bobble was feeling so good in England. He was making and drinking tea. But he was feeling a little

home-sick.

So Bobble decided to go and visit his deserted planet.

He went to the Royal Museum and climbed in his bocket-rocket. He started the engine and pressed

the red ‘start’ button. The bocket-rocket took off.

After ten minutes he went out of the earth’s atmosphere.

He started to feel the smell of tea in space.

The he began to see his planet and remembered his childhood.

He landed on planet Bob and came out of the bocket-rocket.

‘Who is there?’ asked a feminine voice.

‘It’s me, Bobble!’ he answered.

‘My name is Bobbolina, the voice said.

Behind a rock, another Bobble Sapiens was hiding. But it was a girl.

Bobble was happy. He thought that Bobbolina was very pretty and she thought the same about him.

They talked about Planet Bob.

They fell in love and decided to get married.

They flew back to the Earth.

The wedding was very big and they got married at the British Council.

And then they had an after -wedding tea party.

Bobbolina had two twins, a boy called Bobby and a girl called Bolly.

Bolly invented Bollywood.

The Bobble family live now in the BC Bucharest, in the attic, where they are very happy!
