The Prologue

Crispin was in a lost with himself he had been saving so many lost souls lately from evil creatures like evil Dr Fizz, who only wanted greed and power for themselves. It was a scary world to be In.

He was tired and he was drained from all the training he was doing as well feeling frustrated from all the learning he was doing, but nothing was going in, while he was learning why?

Chapter 1 - When friends come In handy.

Crispin Blue felt himself at a lost so he went to his leafy friend Sunny Salad for some good advice because she was always full of sunshine.

Crispin flung his Hope spade down while sitting there with little his arms on his face looking fed up.

"Oh Sunny salad, I don't understand I am doing all this learning while training but nothing is going in"

Sunny salad was in the tomato kitchen chopping up some tomatoes sponges and olives to make some strong tomato soul juice to help lift up Crispin spirits.

It's okay said Sunny salad, your doing amazing, you just need to bealive in yourself"

Crispin vanilla came by hearing what was happening and decided to be involved himself in this conversation as he put his courage hat down on the tomato table.

" Crispin, why don't you go to the learning centre and book an appoitment with one of the leaning soul creatures there"

"What do you mean"

Said Crispin blue while raising his eyebrows at him unfolding himself feeling more hope again.

"Well they have help" to help you understand why your finding things hard"

"Trust me I went there when I was doing my maths test, I failed 7 times, can you bealive that 7 times I failed, 7 times."

while Crispin vanilla was flinging his arms in the air expressing to everyone just how he felt as he continued on to say

"I was like what is happening I was doing all this studying with all these weird numbers, anyway they put me in a soul creature learning slot,I had my assessment done and my evaluation and I found out I have dyscalia"

Crispin blue was a little confused and asked

"What is dyscalia"

Crispin Vanilla looked at crispin blue and started waving his little arms while explaining what it was with expression

"I'm glad you asked so dyscalculia it's similar with dyslexia but with numbers"

Crispin blue look intrigued to hear and so did Sunny Salad as she was standing there mixing her tomato soul juice, adding a bit of spice in here and there.

Sunny Salad felt so much hope for Crispin Vanilla and Crispin Blue.

She walked around adding more spice and replied with

"That is amazing, I mean that you found this out and you have help and you're doing amazing, I'm so proud of you, Crispin vanilla, I feel you should take note here as she started to pour her famous tomato soul juice in each cup for them to have.

Crispin vanilla went on to say more interesting information

"Did you know there are different forms of dyscalculia though, I mean I have verbal dyscalculia which is where you struggle to take the information in with numbers"

"Really!" said crispin blue looking more intrigued by this information he had learnt, Crispin Blue had no idea about dyslexia or dyscaluia, how could he, he did not start any learning untill after coming out of Dr fizz dungeon and before that he was all alone.

To that crispin vanilla went on to add while waving his little arms around looking for his card on the information he had been given.

"Thank you It's okay now I mean I still struggle more than others but I'm doing a lot better than before. I mean I have the extra help that makes maths so much better for me because there are different ways of teaching things to help us little creatures in this big scary world we live in."

"Help Crispin blue replied"

"I never new of help until I met you two"

"Well now you do" Crispin Vanilla replied

And they all got a cup of tomato soul juice, that Sunny Salad made them and on the count of three they cheers to help.

"TO HELP" they all said.
