Gordon Fellows awoke one morning and rolled over in his bed. Then he rolled over again. And then once again, this time falling to his bedroom floor with a thud. However, Gordon wasn't done rolling yet. He rolled out of his bedroom, across the landing, down the stairs, out of the house, across the street, over a wall and into 'Big' Steve James's garden, where he came to a stop, face down in the long uncut grass.
Unfortunately, that was the exact spot 'Big' Steve James (who wasn't called 'Big' Steve James at all. He was in fact 'Big' Dan Smith, people just called him 'Big' Steve James for a laugh) had designated to build a huge bonfire to put his family members on. He'd had them for ages so he'd decided to get rid and buy some new ones with the inheritance money.
And so, without realizing he was there, 'Big' Steve James threw a load of wood and other flammable objects onto Gordon Fellows before lighting them with some previously acquired fire.
This was, of course, a tragedy for Gordon Fellows. But it turned out that it wasn't really, because Gordon was a cousin of 'Big' Steve James's on his fat mother's side, so he belonged on the bonfire after all.
Quite a relief for all concerned.
