“Grandpa, can you tell us a story?”
asked Rosy.
Everyone loves Grandpa. Rosy and
her friends never got tired of
listening to his stories. He has been
a space pilot all his life and loves to
share his adventures with the
children.
“OK. Let me think,” replied
Grandpa. “I know…have I ever told
you about the old Speelock who
lived high up on the mountain in the
big rock house?”
“Not that I can remember,” said
Rosy.
“What’s a Speelock?” asked Mitzy.
“No one really knows. It’s just a
name someone made up.”

“This story began when Rosy’s
father was around two years old.
We had been shipwrecked on a
moon named Zipton of the planet
Protoid for almost three years.
Rosy’s father was born there. So
were Bizby, Slipper and Lazlo.
We lived in a nice village and
built houses with the help of the
ship’s robots. We weren’t sure if
anyone would ever find us. We
got used to the idea this would
probably be home for the rest of
our lives.”

“Bizby and I have been best
friends for many years. We used
to love to go exploring. He is
always fun to be with. He can
fly. So if I got tired of walking,
he would fly me back home. We
used to spend hours looking
through old caves and abandoned
villages. High up on the mountain
from where we lived, we could
see an old house made of rocks.
Everyone told us to stay away
from the place because an old
Speelock lived there who was
said to have magic powers.”

“The old Speelock was a stranger
who came into town for supplies.
When he first came to town no
one was very nice to him. So he
decided to play a trick on them.
He sneaked around at night and
move things around. The
townspeople thought something
magic had happened. The people
were so scared they always moved
to the other side of the road when
he came into town with his old
gallump. Later on the people left
presents so he wouldn’t cast a
spell on them. He thought it was
kind of funny.”

“Bizby and I were out doing a
little exploring one day when we
made a wrong turn and ended up
near the old Speelock’s house. It
was covered with vines and
looked real old.”
