Story Outline:

DeBug is a clever insect who calls for all things to be perfect.

He cracks codes, can be grumpy and is often cross and jumpy.

Some time ago, next to a louse, he had learned to click a mouse.

The small bug is an I.T. scholar.

His stumpy neck has a white collar.

Puzzles buzz on his outside once they jump from his inside.

He taps computer keys and flits to fetch his much-loved knitting kit.

Story Opening:

Fussbut's school bell chimed a chime. It was 'Teach the Teacher' time.

The Fussbut children had already called in DeBug Knitty-Nitty.

DeBug works with Doctor It at Dot Plot's deep down Puzzling Pit.

His brain train works out many puzzles while the doctor sleeps and guzzles.
