The Gremlins Complete Text

But spring brought no hope for poor Gus. Three times he failed to pass his medical exam.

The news traveled over the airdrome to the gremlins, who were very sorry for Gus, and they all scratched their bald little heads, wondering how they could help.

Gremlin Gus himself summoned a conference of the tribe, and all sorts of ideas and suggestions were put forward. But none of them was any good, and the meeting was just about to break up when a little man in the back row, who was called Gremlin Griff, stood up and asked,

"Why don't we tell him to ask for another medical exam? Then we could all go along and help him get through."

Gremlin Gus jumped up and clapped his hands and said that was a wonderful idea and ran away as fast as his legs would carry him to tell his master.

Gus was delighted, and rushed off to the medico and told him that he was suddenly feeling much better, and could he please have another medical exam.
