TEST RUN
Keen to test out his latest brainwave in action, once darkness fell Wilson carried his AntSignal into the garden to demonstrate it to the family.
The night was cloudy (like most nights recently) so there was a potentially good 'screen' onto which the Antsignal could be projected.
Everyone waited expectantly for Wilson to switch on the signal.
He counted down: Three… Two… One, and all eyes turned skyward, to see: Nothing!
'Are you sure it's properly turned on?' Polly asked, while Uncle Zoltan dryly observed – sotto voce, but easily loud enough for everyone to hear – 'Typical! Another hare-brained failure from the anteater!'
Once the demonstration was over, Nërp took Wilson to one side and suggested that he was going to need a bigger torch – a MUCH bigger torch!
