Until, that is, they are interrupted by Lenny who today is a fireman and they all dash off to help him put out fires. Soon there is another sign on Rosie's door which leads the gang to her front steps where they all sit quietly waiting for the Magic Man, who is coming to tell them what to do. When he finally arrives he tells them all to be firecrackers , so they Boom and Whizz and Fizz until it is time to go home for tea.
