START EPISODE #15
"Thanks,
we’d better get started. We’ll take
it easy, go halfway and camp overnight."
"I
wouldn’t do that."
Oh,
it’s all right. We know all about feral
cats. But we’ll camp right in the
treetops where they can’t reach
us."
"I
wasn’t thinking of the cats, it’s
the grubels that will get you."
"Grubels?
Never heard of them."
"That’s
because you’re not from these parts.
Terrible they are. Fierce as a cat but only a
tenth of the weight. They can climb to the
top of any tree. Mark my words, you stop
overnight on you way back to the big city and
you’ll wake up inside a grubel."
"Erk.
Okay, that’s it troops. You heard him.
It’s a direct flight."
"From
here. We must be mad. Why do we get into
these things."
"Just
save your breath Squill, you’re going to
need it. Okay, let’s go. Thanks mate.
Seeya."
"Hello
Bert, who was that motley bunch you were
talking to. Haven’t seen them around
before."
"Oh
hello Marj. No, they’re from the big
smoke. Canberra. They’re on their way
back there now."
"Politicians
do you reckon Bert."
"No,
don’t think so Marj or they’d have
been travelling in a big white box. Tourists
I ‘spect."
"In
that were they. Well I’ll be. So
that’s what they mean when they say
package tour. Doesn’t look as though it
would be too comfortable."
"No,
but they probbly give you plenty to drink. I
noticed one of them was a bit under the
weather."
"Could
have been one of those end of season footy
trips then do you think? Looks like it by the
mess they’ve made of their
transport."
"Could
be Marj, could well be."
"Oh
well, they should make it home safely. They
do say flying is the safest way to travel. As
long as they take it easy and don’t try
to do it nonstop. That’d be
dangerous."
"Actually
I think they are going to Marj."
"Come
on Bert, even parrots aren’t that
stupid. Why would they want to fly
nonstop?"
"Because
of the grubels."
"Grubels?
What are grubels, I’ve never heard of
them?"
"Nor
had I until five minutes ago. How about we go
down to the park and swim in the new
birdbath."
