Mr. Rush Goes on Holiday is a story from the 1985 Annual.
Plot[]
Mr. Rush is the fastest being on two legs. But that's not the main reason he is called "Mr. Rush." He is called Mr. Rush because he does everything so fast that nothing gets done properly. His breakfast is tea made from cold water and an un-boiled egg! That's practically inedible! When he worked as a waiter, he served the food so fast that nobody had the chance to take a bite of their meal. Even going shopping at the supermarket is a rush for Mr. Rush, he usually winds up with an empty basket because he didn't have the patience to wait!
This is the story of the time Mr. Rush went on holiday. With a half-packed suitcase in his hand, he called for a taxi to take him to the airport. Where was his holiday going to be? Even Mr. Rush had no idea. Mr. Rush was barely able to get his ticket and avoid talking to the person selling the tickets...Little Miss Chatterbox! Mr. Rush boarded a jet aeroplane and flew on it non-stop to the other side of the world. Mr. Rush found himself relaxing on the seaside, but even holidays are a rush for Mr. Rush. In one afternoon, Mr. Rush climbed a mountain, swam in the sea, and built four sandcastles! And that was only one day out of the week Mr. Rush spent at the seaside. Mr. Rush even started planning for his holiday next year. And it's the perfect place for Mr. Rush. Can you guess where he's going? RUSSIA!!
