"Horrid Henry's Hike" is a short story by American children's author Francesca Simon.
==Synopsis==
Henry absolutely, positively HATES hiking… so when his parents force him on a family hike, he’ll do whatever it takes to make it miserable for everyone.
== Plot ==
Horrid Henry looks outside, only to notice that it’s a bright sunny day, fearing that he would be forced on a Hike, as what his parents were forcing him to do for weeks, but now, they announced exactly that, and in the countryside. Henry tries to hesitate as Rapper Zapper Zaps Terminator Gladiator is also on, but his parents won’t have any of it.
They soon arrive in the countryside to go to the lake, and Henry tries to make the whole experience miserable for everyone. However, nothing works for him. However, he realises that they can get home quicker if they sped through to the lake, which they eventually do - thanks to a bull.
They eventually reach the lake, but they fight to get the best spot to feed the ducks, and both fall in, leading to Mum and Dad falling in as well.
The story ends with everyone back at home - sneezing and spluttering, with Henry happy that he can finally watch his show, Mum and Dad suggest that they go to the park next time, but Henry happily says that a little water never hurts anyone.
