Poor thing,. I suppose I should help?
Want to get that cone off your head?
Hmm, okay, let's try like this...
Yes!
Oh...
Hi. I'm Franny Squires.

How's your head? Are you okay?
We can't let it get infected! We'll need some antiseptic ointment and a plaster!
We gave each other a bit of a shock, didn't we?
Oh dear! You must have cut your knee when you fell!
We can cross here. My house is that way. It isn't very far.
Let's go to my house,. my mum has everything we need in our medicine cabinet.
Wait, what are you doing? We have to wait for the...
He doesn't even know how to cross a road! I hope he knows how to behave himself at mum and dad's house! ...signal.

Let's go upstairs - if we can get there!
This one is my house.
Mum! Dad! I'm home! And guess what? I brought home a troll!
This is my room. What do you think?
That's nice, dear.
Right, if you're going to have dinner with my mum and dad, we'd better make you a little more... presentable.
Franny! Dinner's almost ready! Will your, er, troll be joining us? Yes, please! Oh. Er, lovely. Look.. these are my dad's exercise clothes that he never wears anymore. We'll try these.
Phew! You can dress yourself next time. I'm worn out!
Argh, your head is so big!
Oh Trolly, don't you know how to put trousers on?

Oh well, at least you look a little more normal.
Trolly, meet my mum and dad. Go on over, don't be scared.
Wait, Trolly, what are you doing?
WHAT ON EARTH? THAT THING TRIED TO STICK ITS FINGER UP MY NOSE! Oh dear! OK, we'll just go and eat...
Oh stop fussing. It's just a napkin.
Trolly, why don't you sit here...
Oh no... I hope the chair doesn't break!
It looks good, doesn't it? Go ahead, dig in!
