Arthur and the village vandal

When Arthur the goat was a young kid, he was a bit wild. Not a flower or a shrub in the village of Fydd was safe from young Arthur's gnashers. But Arthur had a problem, he was very short sighted, he couldn't see clearly very far, most things in fact were a bit of a blur.

One day young Arthur thought a quick game of football in Sir Reginald Duffer's garden would be a really good idea – until the ball crashed straight through the greenhouse. As Arthur tried to make a short-sighted escape, mayhem ensued.

But it was the last straw the villagers said, Arthur was no longer welcome in the village, especially if he was now going to start rampaging everywhere, he was a menace and a nuisance.

Arthur was miserable, he had had a dreadful fright, and was determined he would never ever set foot in that horrid village ever again.

So for the next few years, Arthur lived quietly in his field. But then a vandal started causing havoc in the village, and Arthur was the number one suspect.

Can Arthur stop the vandal and clear his own name? Perhaps – with help from some friends.
