Once upon a time in a land called Fruit Bowl, there was a man named Fergus - who wasn’t like any other man. Secretly, Fergus was Grape Man, Fruit Bowl’s superhero. But Fergus didn’t actually like grapes, he preferred cucumbers.
When he was younger, Fergus was an only child and his mother never liked the way he looked so she abandoned him. Fergus spent half his life with his father but, when his father died in the war, he went into a foster home. He felt really alone and all he wanted to do was make other people happy. Nobody would talk to him because he had grape eyes and they would run away when they saw him.
When Fergus was nine, he ran away from the foster home. He was looking for food in bins one day and Roisin the Rabbit was in a rubbish bin. It was her home. From that day he kept coming back to see Roisin because she was like him. Roisin could shoot carrots out of her ears and she kept him fed. Fergus taught Roisin how to spell and, as Fergus was teaching Roisin how to spell, he found out that some of her carrots could be poisonous and super-sharp. When she was spelling she accidentally pooped herself and it turned out to be chocolate buttons - but no one ate them because they didn’t smell nice.
A few years after visiting Roisin, a girl called Alice came along. Roisin thought she was a threat so she shot carrots into Alice’s eyes…
