Barry Robinson's grandma is amazing. She's taught the horrible boys at school a lesson, and she's caught two men who were robbing a jewellery shop. Now she's heard that a big building is on fire in London. She's taken Barry by the hand, opened her umbrella, and flown to the fire.

They arrived in London at the burning building. It was very tall and people were at the windows.
"Help, help!" they shouted.
Grandma left Barry and flew up to the top of the building with her umbrella. One by one she saved all the people.

The fire fighters said, "Thank you Grandma," and Grandma smiled.
"Come on Barry!" she said. "Let's go home for tea."

On Monday morning Grandma got a letter from the Queen. It said 'Thank you, Grandma,' and sent a medal.
At school everybody looked at Barry.
"Look that's Barry Robinson - his grandma can do anything!"
But Barry just smiled.

The End
