Mama! How A Camera Can Lie

Barney has gone to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, to collect Terence and the Magpie.

Unni and Sweezus are at the Surf Life Saving Club, checking out the menu.

Best Seafood Platter on the Gold Coast, 2017, says Unni. We've got to get that.

She reads out what's on it: fresh natural oysters, green lip mussels, battered flathead, panko prawns, salt 'n' pepper calamari, cocktail sauce, lemon wedges.

Yeah, whatever, says Sweezus. Cool.

Arthur'll be here soon, says Unni. With his poem.

About a fig tree, says Sweezus.

Don't worry about it, says Unni. Cheer up. Here comes Barney with Terence.

Terence runs up.

Guess what! says Terence. I went on the Tree Top Challenge!

No kidding! says Unni. That was brave. Did you get any photos?

Yes, says Terence. Listen. Cer-lick! That was a crocodile. And this is Boris.

I can't hear Boris, says Unni.

Do Boris, says Terence to the Magpie.

Mama! squawks Boris.

This isn't fair. Boris never said that. But who's to know? Sometimes a camera can lie.

Can I have a red drink? asks Terence.

Wait for Arthur and Gaius, says Unni. Look Barney, Best Seafood Platter 2017. We're going to get that.

Awesome, says Barney. Yeah Terence had a good time apparently. Kenzi lost him, but he hooked up with a family and they paid for his Tree Top Challenge. It was thirty nine dollars.

Geez, says Unni. Do we owe them thirty nine dollars?

Nope, says Barney. They'll be having lunch here. All they want is an autograph.

Whose? says Unni.

Sweezus's, says Barney. I told them he was in Team Condor. Hope you don't mind, mate.

He doesn't, says Unni. He's looking like that for another reason.

The other reason enters the Surf Life Saving Club.

Bro! says Sweezus.

We made it, says Arthur. Gaius is tying Farky up outside. Is there any Kimchi on the menu?

Unni looks. No.

So you wrote me a poem, says Sweezus. Is it on paper or what? 

In my head, say Arthur. And it's not what you're  thinking.

What then?

About a Moreton Bay fig tree. And I wrote it how I thought you would write it.

Crappily? says Sweezus.

Kind of, says Arthur. But because it was me, it turned out a lot better.

Yeah well, don't tell it to me now, says Sweezus. We're ordering the Seafood Platter. Green lip mussels, salt 'n' pepper calamari, panko prawns...

Good. I'm starving, says Arthur.

Gaius comes in with a pale-looking Saint Roley.

No one likes to know that they've just ingested six parasites.

What are we having? asks Gaius. Seafood Platter? We must save our shells for Farky. And, is there Kimchi on the menu? We must get Saint Roley to vomit.
