1. The
Jam
Wars!

2. As
we
know,
the
Ligh=es
are
small
and
weak!

3. Yeah,
they’re
like
the
size
of
a
scared
mouse!

4. Silence!
We’ve
got
a
leCer
from
them.

5. It
says:
“Although
we’re
small,
but
not
weak,
we
are
not
liCle
cheats!”

6. Oh
yes
they
are!

7. Oh
no
we’re
not!

8. Oh
yes
you
are!

9. Oh
no
we’re
not!

10. Oh
yes
you
are!

11. Oh
no
we’re
not!

12. There
was
one
small
lighty
marmalade,
and
one
small
darky
marmalade

13. And
the
small
Lighty
Marmalade
whispered,
“Hi,
I’m
not
allowed
to
go
and
fight
because
I’m
too
young”

14. Same
here.

15. Why
do
we
fight
each
other?

16. Because
we’re
dark
and
tall,
and
you’re
short
and
fat!

17. No,
you
mean
you’re
tall
and
skinny,
and
we’re
just
made
in
the
right
way!

18. Let’s
go
talk
somewhere
else
so
the
grown-­‐ups
don’t
hear.

19. Hey,
there’s
a
good
place
over
here!

20. Errgh!
There’s
lots
of
other
jams
in
here
(I’m
dehydra=ng!)

21. Look
here:
we’re
liCle
ones
—
and
so
are
they
so
let’s
just
have
some
fun!

22. Urgh
–
but
look
at
them
–
they’ve
got
funny
hats
and
clothes!
(I’m
dehydra=ng!)

23. No
we
don’t!
You’re
fat…

24. …and
your
hat’s
are
too
boring!

25. Stop
it!!
We
all
found
this
place,
and
let’s
share
it.

26. My
mum
and
dad
are
figh=ng
against
The
Apples

27. And
my
mum
and
dad
are
figh=ng
against
The
Colourful
Hats

28. Us
Darky
Marmalades
are
figh=ng
against
the
Lighty
Marmalades

29. That’s
weird.
We’re
all
figh=ng
against
each
other

30. Please
help
us.
We
need
to
stop
them

31. OK,
let’s
go
everyone

32. HEY!!

33. STOP
THIS
RIGHT
NOW!!!

34. I’ve
been
sharing
that
box
over
there
with
a
Lighty

35. And
Darky
Marmalades
are
fine

36. Let’s
all
share
the
cupboard
together

37. And
with
all
our
other
friends
too.
They’re
not
even
Marmalades!

38. It’s
much
cosier
in
here
with
everyone!

39. I
think
it
would
be
quite
cold
with
only
one
kind
of
Marmalade!
