Mr Stink was a very nice man who was kind to everyone (most people). He likes to eat sausages and feed some to his dog. The nice man also likes to wander and explore the world.
There was a girl named Chloe and she always saw a tramp sitting on a bench with a dog named 'The Duchess' so she wanted to help him. She helped the poor man and let him stay in her shed without her mother knowing because her mother doesn't allow tramps on the street. She goes on many adventures with Mr Stink (the tramp) but please DO NOT call him a tramp he doesn't like himself being called 'a tramp' he calls himself 'a wonderer'.... Read Full Review
