Ooh Bad Memories

Now for our reward, says the bell frog that didn't eat Prawny.

But the damselfly ate it, says Terence.

So get us another one, says the neighbour.

We shall do that, says Gaius. But in order to obtain a cooked prawn we must leave you.

Can we trust you? asks the one who didn't eat Prawny.

Certainly, says Gaius.

I'll stay here with the frogs till you come back, says Prawny.

That is noble of you, says the one who didn't eat him.

Thank you, says Prawny. 

You can wait in one of our brick holes, says the neighbour. The one next to mine.

Ooh. Bad memories, says Prawny.

Better than sitting on the bank like a sitting duck, says the neighbour.

Yes, says Gaius. Those damselflies are a danger.

Okay, says Prawny. I'll wait in a hole.

The holes are good if you're facing outwards, says the one who didn't eat him.

I'll try it, says Prawny.

Wonderful, says Gaius, placing Prawny in a hole facing outwards.

It is quite nice, says Prawny.

Now we'll leave you, says Gaius, but we'll return later today.

With our reward, says the one who didn't eat Prawny.

And proof that we're famous, says the neighbour.

Hum, says Gaius. That may take a bit longer.

Post the video on TikTok, says Margaret.

Oh yes, TikTok, says Gaius. That will do it.

Bye, Prawny, says Terence. 

Bye, says Prawny.

Gaius, Margaret and Terence head for the bikes.

I wonder if Minnie has any frozen prawns in her freezer, says Margaret.

Perhaps we should ask her, says Gaius. I understand you might feel a little foolish going into Woolworths and asking for one cooked prawn when half an hour earlier you had made an identical purchase.

Yes Gaius, says Margaret. But you could do it.

It would still seem odd, says Gaius.

I could, says Terence.

He imagines himeslf doing it.

One cooked prawn please!

Even odder, says Gaius.

So it is decided.

They will go back to Minnie's and check out her freezer.
