START EPISODE #14

"Of course it was, what else...?"

"Suppose it said something like Vortex Industries Crocodile Farm f’rinstance."

"Crocodile Farm? Why a crocodile farm for crying out lou..."

"And suppose the rest of the writing said something like Fresh crocodile food. Throw box into pit without opening."

"Drongo, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. There are no crocodiles out there. Tell him Rosso."

"Actually I don’t know much about crocodiles Tandar, except that they are very quiet."

"Tandar."

"Yes Zingo, what is it?"

"I can’t hear anything."

"That’s because there’s nothing to hear. What’s wrong with all of you. Surely you don’t believe this rubbish about crocodiles?"

"Course not Tandar. Only..."

"Look to put your minds at rest we can take a peek. Someone peck a small hole in the side.....NOT ALL AT ONCE. OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, NOW LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE. One little hole I said. This box looks like it’s been left on an army firing range."

"Hey does anyone know what a crocodile looks like."

"Why, do you see one?"

"I dunno, do they like budgies?"

"No, I think they’re longer and flatter."

That’s okay then, I must be looking at a budgie."

"Well ask him where we are.?"

"Okay, HEY YOU. HEY STUPID. YES YOU."

"He’s coming over."

"You’d have been a hit with the diplomatic corp if you’d been a human. Oops here he is. You’d better talk to him Tandar."

"Hello, sorry about my friend. He’s under a lot of pressure."

"What’s the matter, can’t you lot fly?"

"Course we can, it’s just that.. Look, can you tell us where we are?"

"You’re at Mangurluk."

"Where’s that in relation to Canberra?"

"Bout 120 km due west. How many of you in there?"

"Eight actually, we’ve..."

"Pretty dark in there I ‘spect."

"Yes it....".

"And hot?"

"A bit, but.."

"And you can all fly?"

"Yes, you see.."

"So let’s get this straight. You can all fly, but you jammed youselves into a dark, hot, box, without having any idea where you were going."

"Well,it..."

"And then you call ME stupid."

"Look I’ve said I was sorry. Something went wrong with our plans. We didn’t mean to come way out here. If you’d just be kind enough to point out the way back to Canberra we’ll be off back there."

"Okay, well Canberra is due east of here. All you have to do is fly that way and keep the setting sun shining straight up your.... keep the sun directly behind you."
