"Now," said Lima's Mum, "are you still hungry?"
"No," said Lima.. holding her belly. "Just a bit full!"

25. Take one liule hungry girl, six different tempting foods
and one shiny delicious red hot chilli. One big bite into
the chilli results in a spectacular display of fireworks.
Mum, dad, aunt and grandad all come to help but
Lima's mouth is still too hot. Who can rescue her?
