Terence is freed from his skateboard.
There it lies on the grass.
What's that thing stuck to your skateboard? asks Baby Bin Penguin.
Terence looks at the thing.
My claw! cries Terence.
It should come away easily, says Gaius.
He pulls at the claw.
It comes away easily.
The wonders of vinegar, says Gaius.
Now what? asks Terence.
I think there's some super glue left, says Gaius. We'll glue it on properly next time.
When's next time? asks Terence.
After I've eaten my apple, says Gaius.
He opens the bag of apples he bought at the same time as the glue.
Offers one to Surfing-with-Whales.
Surfing-with-Whales takes one, and bites into it. Crunch!
Terence remembers the red snake in his pocket.
He tries pulling it out.
It is stuck to his gecko shorts, but eventually comes away.
He starts sucking, to soften it up.
What's that? Furry gecko short fibres! He tries spitting them out.
What's wrong? asks Surfing-with-Whales.
Terence keeps spitting.
Looks like something for me, says Baby Bin Penguin.
Terence throws his red snake into Baby Bin Penguin.
Two flies follow it in.
Get out! cries Baby Bin Penguin.
Who? asks Terence.
The flies! says Baby Bin Penguin.
Aren't you used to them? asks Gaius.
No, says Baby Bin Penguin. Ants might be fun, but flies aren't.
One of the flies buzzes out of Baby Bin Penguin.
Time flies when your having fun, says the fly, in a fly voice.
The other fly comes out straight away.
And time's fun when you're having flies, says the second fly.
That's what they think, says Baby Bin Penguin.
