The One That Is One And The One That's Not One

Are we there yet? asks Terence.

Not yet, says Ageless.

They trudge on a bit further.

Are we there YET? asks Terence.

They stop.

NO! says Ageless.

A passing van stops. Brad looks out.

Hi there? Need a lift into town?

Yes! says Terence. We're going to Woolworths.

Me too, says Brad. It's not far. Hop in.

Thank you, says Ageless, on his best manners.

No worries, says Brad. Did your ...um... guys find one of those new bandy bandies?

Yes, says Ageless. Our team has now found a live one and a dead one.

Lucky team, says Brad.

And one that's not one, says Terence. And the one that IS one and the one that's NOT one, but not the dead one, need three more wheels.

So I guess you've got one wheel already, says Brad.

A jam jar lid, says Ageless. But as we've ruined it, we might go to a different type of wheel altogether.

Don't mind me asking, says Brad, but why do bandies need wheels in the first place?

For their bed, says Terence. When they wake up.

No way! says Brad. When they wake up they'll go hunting.

But then, says Terence, Kobo and Pinky get in.

Pinky! says Brad. How's she doing after being buried under a nonda ?

No different, says Ageless. Still cocky.

How big's the bed? asks Brad.

It's a plum box, says Ageless.

It's already got two pixels, says Terence.

Cool, says Brad. Two pixels. Well, here's the Woolies.

They go in together.

Brad wants to see what they buy.

Terence runs off to look at the watermelons and tomatoes.

Ageless says: I could do with some help here.

Ask her, says Brad. Hey, Thekla!

Thekla comes over.

Wheels, says Brad. About... jam lid size.

Jam's in aisle three, says Thekla.

Actually, says Ageless, have you got any with holes in the middle?

We don't stock anything with holes in, says Thekla. This is Woolies.

Grr. It's so difficult, shopping.

Terence runs back with a packet of pasta.

Found some! A lady helped me!

Thekla looks at the pasta.

I could've told you where THAT was.

Everyone looks at the pasta.

San Remo Pasta Wagon Wheels.

Perfetto! Little wheels in abundance!
