Hey guys.

My mum used to read my brother and I a lot of stories when we were kids. She also used to play a lot of tapes to us that had kids stories on them. Not only do I still quote 80's movies all the time but I also quote these stories too.

Anyway there was this story that was told by a guy and it was about a kid called Wilfred. He asked his mother for a magnet and her reply was "maybe for Christmas."

I can't remember if his mother gives him a magnet or not but he gets one somehow and everything gets attached to the magnet like cars and buses etc.

I for the life of me can't remember what this is called but I really want to track it down and listen to it again.

Please help. I would be over the moon if someone had any idea what I was talking about.

Hey Bernie, it must be this one:

A Pocketful of Trouble

Posted by P_a_u_l (Member # 1022) on :

It was called "A Pocket Full Of Trouble". Wilfred stole the magnet from school, and ended up pulling a spaceship out of orbit.

It´s a fun story. Reminds me of the Amazing Stories episode The Main Attraction.

Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :

Holy ****! I can not believe you guys knew what I was talking about. And furthermore can't believe that you knew what it was called and furthermore can't believe it's on Youtube.

When someone asks me for something I often say "Maybe for Christmas".

Thanks aTomiK and Paul. I give you both equal credit. I really really appreciate it.

I have not seen that one dude but I will check the episode out.

Now back to a Pocket Full of Trouble.

Didn´t know about the story earlier, Bernie but got interested after i saw your question.
Fun story nevertheless.

Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :

How did you go about finding it?

Cos I typed into Google Wilfred/magnet/ maybe for Christmas and got nothing coming up.

Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :

I typed wilfred/magnet/story [Smile]

Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :

I think I need to brush up on my Googling skills.

Thanks again. Got a lot out of listening to all those stories again. [Big Grin]

Yah is a retelling of the Grimm's collection. Trippy.

Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :

Paul, you were actually familiar with this?

Zigy, yeah I guess so. I had no idea. I only knew it from this children's cassette tape/book series.

I asked my mother when she bought all this stuff. She said it was in London about 1983.

Posted by Zigyma7ik (Member # 12351) on :

I kinda like that story. Donkeys are funnehy..

You know, theres actually a bronze statue of the animals in Bremen Germany. Weird. I mean whatda hell, this people have sauerkraut in their brains. Then again sauerkraut is awesome.
