'I've seen it,' Captain Bill said. 'I was just on my way to the museum when a staple whizzed past and a balloon landed on me hat!'
Norma put the flyer down.
'There must be lots of people involved in making a film,' Norma replied.
'I'm sure there are,' Captain Bill said.
'Some of them might be interested in rope,' Norma added. 'They might even want to make a film about the museum?'
'.........................................................True!' Captain Bill mooed. 'And that's the only reason that you're suggesting for wanting to go?'
'Well,' Norma said.
'The words, 'free costumes, including hats' wouldn't be influencing you?'
Norma had always had a problem with certain types of fibs.
'Possibly,' she replied, 'but it would be so lovely to have an adventure.'
'In your opinion,' Captain Bill said.
'And obviously,' Norma continued, 'we'd have to sail there and we can't sail without our captain. There's all that tricky navigation to do. Out on the high seas working out which way to steer.'
'Bertha would probably get you lost,' Captain Bill remarked. 'I doubt she knows her port from her starboliarboliboard.'
'....And then there's sooooooo many ropes,' Norma added. 'I always find them so confusing.'
There were other types of fibs that didn't bother Norma one bit.
'Tricky if you're not a top notch captain,' Captain Bill replied.
'So, you can see how much we need you....'
And, with just a few reservations, Captain Bill agreed to go.
'Who's behind all this anyway?' he asked and they walked down toward the harbour.
Norma glanced at the flyer.
'The Happier Tees Film Company,' she replied. 'Whoever they are?'
