Tony the pumpkin man. Tony was lonely. His wife had left him and he had no friends, all he had was his pet lizard Juego. On Thursday Tony would visit his grandmother’s pumpkin farm. This was the one place Tony could express himself, through pumpkin carving. Tony was a master of the art he could carve any face into a pumpkin, any shape, anything, you name it Tony was the man. When Tony got home he made his favourite dinner, pumpkin pasta. It was delicious, layered flavours of flaming orange; Tony described it as the orange key to his heart. After dinner Tony fed Juego, and then he went to bed. Tony’s life was boring until now... One sunny Thursday Tony was in sanctuary, minding his own business piercing pumpkins with his special knife when a creepy old withered lady crept over towards him... “Hello dear” whispered the old lady. “Err hello?” exclaimed a bewildered Tony. “I see you’re carving pumpkins, Tony started. “I’ll give you £200” she interrupted, “take it or leave it.” “I’ll take it!” shouted Tony. The woman gave him the money and waddled off into the hills. Little did young Tony know, he was about to start the biggest pumpkin carving company the world had ever seen. Tony went out after he had received all of this money and he bought a little stall wagon. He painted it orange and green and named it the pumpkinmobile! He carved 50 pumpkins in extraordinary fashion. Scary faces, well known icons, pieces of art. Tony’s skill was finally coming to use. He got the pumpkinmobile and strolled into town. He was surprised that so many people wanted to buy his pumpkins! Again he sold them for £200 apiece, and was sold out within three hours! He had made £10,000. This was extraordinary. Everybody wanted more pumpkins. Tony was confused. How could he keep getting pumpkins to carve? He had obliterated his Grandmothers patch, and had even stolen them from his next door neighbour Phillip who was already giving Tony suspicious looks. Tony knew he had to expand his business, but how? Then a great idea popped into Tony’s head. An idea so great that he could create millions. He was ready. Tony had the pumpkin mobile ready for launch. He set off to town and after a gruelling trek he had reached his destination, a tall black building. He was given a all access pass when he was waiting in the waiting room, Tony was taken to makeup where he was suited for all the lighting. The suspense was getting to Tony. Beads of sweat dripped of his brow and he felt ill. The time had come, Tony took the pumpkinmobile and nervously crept in front of the dragons, Duncan Bannatyne, Hilary Devey, Theo Paphitis, Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones. He introduced himself confidently and began his pitch. It was all going perfectly for Tony. All 5 of the dragons had declared themselves in and all were arguing for Tony’s product and in the end they all decided to give Tony money for his project at only 1% of the prophets each! Tony was elated and after becoming a multi billionaire, he bought he own island of the coast of the Bahamas were he and Juego grew their own pumpkins just as they had always dreamed to.
