The All Knowing Prototype Eye

It's a three hour train journey.

By Sydney Central, a major issue will have been resolved.

Sweezus: Terence's in a bad mood.

Arthur: Good idea he had, though.

Sweezus: Which was?

Arthur: Using bum feathers. But we wouldn't use bum feathers. We'd use stiff ones.

Sweezus: Brilliant. We thread feathers through the open weave of the hessian. But hey, wait... it's cut into squares. So's the lining.

Arthur: Easy fixed. Cut the squares into circles. They'll be smaller, but that means less Sea Salt in each one and that means more profits.

Sweezus: Genius, dude!

Arthur takes the scissors out of his pocket and starts cutting.

Terence comes back.

Sweezus: Awesome idea, little buddy. We're going with the feathers. We just need one to test out the concept. Go and ask Saint Roley.

Arthur: Ask for a stiff one.

Terence goes back to Saint Roley.

Terence: How would you like to be my new parrot?

Saint Roley: Why?

Terence: Because then I could make you do something.

Saint Roley: Why not just ask me?

Terence: Can I have a bum feather? A stiff one.

Lydia: Ha ha! That's so funny. Hear that, Tilly?

Tilly: Yes. Ha ha! So funny. Bum feathers aren't stiff.

Saint Roley: Tell me about it. Anyway, what's it going to be used for?

Terence: Tying up the Sea Salt.

Saint Roley: One feather now, but where will it end?

Good question.

I'll go over, says Tilly. I might have something.

Don't! says Terence.

Why not? asks Tilly.

Terence won't say.

Tilly gets up and moves down the train to where Sweezus and Arthur are sitting.

Hey, says Sweezus.

Hey, says Tilly. You need something to tie up your famous Sea Salt?

Yeah, says Sweezus. Maybe a feather.

That's a terrible idea, says Tilly.  How about trying this ecofriendly twine?

Cool! says Sweezus.

And it is. Half an hour later a prototype package of Prognosticating Sea Salt has been manufactured.

It looks amazing.

Through a hole in the hessian, a PVC swan's eye looks out, knowingly, below twin loops of rough hairy twine.
