Crispin Tamsworth Quotes

“Crispin Tamsworth was a pig who had it all. And at Christmas, he got even more.”

“One Christmas, he got a ‘Zybox’ Teddy-Bot. But by Easter, he was bored with it... and then it got broken.”

“Master Crispin, In this box you will find the only thing you do not have. It’s the very best thing in the whole wide world. -S”

“But the box was empty. There was nothing inside at all.”

“And so they all played Space Base until sunset.”

″‘What a great box!’ said the rabbit. ‘Come on, let’s take it,’ said the raccoon. But Crispin didn’t want anyone else to take his box.”

″‘JUNK!’ shouted Crispin. ‘That wasn’t junk! It was a store... and a pirate ship... and a castle... and Space Base and you threw it all away.‘”

“But right there in his own back garden was the great big box that the fridge came in. Crispin went and peeped inside the empty box... and he saw that it was full.”

“On Saturday, Mr. Temsworth gave Crispin his pocket money. ‘Aren’t you going off to the arcade today?’ asked Mr. Temsworth. ‘Not today,’ said Crispin. ‘Nick and Penny might come by.”

“Nick and Penny did come by, and they all played Store, Pirates, Castle, and, of course, their favorite... Space Base.”

″‘My box is ruined,’ Crispin sobbed. ‘Now my friends won’t come over anymore.‘”

″‘Look at all this stuff!’ shouted Nick. ‘Aw, it’s all broken,’ said Crispin. ‘It’s junk’. But his friends didn’t think so.”

“All my pals will go away. There’s nothing here to play with.”
