007




Hi Fossil, said Phil,

What's on your list today?

My list? Said Fossil.

Yes, your list said Phil.

What is the first thing on your list

To do today?





The first thing on my list to do

Is to double check my identity, said Fossil.

I have installed an eye scanner at the gate entrance.

I have only scanned our eyes in Phil.

I have only scanned our eyes in, but not the goats eyes!

Not the goats eyes? Said Phil,

But that means they won't be able to get into the field.



Our field! Said Fossil.

Out to dinner



Morning Fossil, said Phil.

What do you think of the royal visit down under?






Down under what? Said Fossil.






I read about the royal visit in our papers this morning, said Phil,

Awfully successful I thought, the trip down under.



As I said before, down under what? Said Fossil.

I don't know what you are talking about Phil.



Really Fossil, you shoul be better informed.

My mother said that you should always read a newspaper

Before you go out to dinner so that you have plenty to talk about.



Are we going out to dinner Phil? Said Fossil

That will be a nice change.

Will it be grass on the menu?

If it is grass, then we really will know 

If the grass is greener on the other side.


Oh shut up Fossil, said Phil.

Tired out



Phew! Said Phil

It has been a long old day.

All that eating and queuing has worn me out.





Worn you out Phil? said Fossil.

Yes Fossil, worn me out.

I just can't keep up with those goats,  and as for Puppy!

Well I don't mind telling you that I need this lie down.


I don't mind a bit of queuing myself, said Fossil,

It gives a bit of purpose to the day.

Just think how good we will be at queuing 

When we can finally do it properly.




But that's just it Fossil, said Phil.

I just don't think I can do it properly.


Indeed said Fossil.

Easter Sunday



Happy Easter Fossil.

Happy Easter Phil, said Fossil.

I have been looking forward to today, said Phil.

Why have you been looking forward? Said Fossil.

I think there might be a few surprises in store said Phil.

Oh no! Said Fossil, I hate surprises.

Surprises don't generally work out so well for me.

I think this surprise might work out very well for you, said Phil,

You will just have to wait and see.





I wonder what it can be? Thought Fossil.

A surprise! For me!

Will I win the lottery I wonder?

Will I win the lottery and have more money than sense?

More money than sense? Said Phil.

Yes, said Fossil, I want more money than sense

I have all this sense at the moment, but no money!



You will just have to wait and see said Phil.


I might just go and ask the goats said Fossil.

Ask the goats if I will have more money than sense.





Goats goats! Said Fossil

Is it true that I am going to have a surprise today?

Is it true that I am going to have more money than sense?


Well you have not got any sense said the goats.

So you won't need to win much money will you!


Fossil,  your surprise is not winning the lottery said Phil.

Maybe it is something much nicer than that.

Wait over there and I will fetch your surprise.




Happy Easter Fossil, said Phil.

Indeed, said Fossil.

Hug




Honestly Fossil, said Phil,

We have gone through thick and thin

With those goats.

Thick and thin Phil?

Yes Fossil, thick and thin.


We have to stick together.






Give us a hug Phil, said Fossil.

Wednesday, 16 April 2014

Oh no!



What are you looking at Fossil? Said Phil.

I am looking at something horrible over there said Fossil





Oh no! Said Phil.

New grass




Listen Fossil, listen Phil,

Said Puppy.

I know where the grass is greener.

It is greener on the other side.

It is a secret. No one else knows about it.

Listen to me and I will tell you.




Greener grass? Said Phil.

That sounds very interesting to me.

What do you think Fossil?


Be careful Phil, said Fossil.

The grass is not always greener on the other side.

It looks pretty green to me, Fossil, said Phil.

I'm off! Come on Fossil.






Puppy, do the goats know about this greener grass? Said Fossil.

Ummm, I don't think they do said Puppy.

Are you sure Puppy? Said Phil.

Are you sure that the goats don't know that the grass is greener on the other side?








Ooh, it's a long way to this grass said Fossil.

Come on Fossil, said Phil,

Let's follow this path.

I think we are nearly there.






Let's taste this grass Fossil, said Phil

Is the grass greener on the other side or not!

Puppy said it was said Fossil,

But I am just looking at something over there.......

Once upon a time



I have a story to tell, said Billy the goat.

I have a story that you won't believe.




I used to live here all on my own said Billy.

It was nice and quiet and I could do whatever I wanted.

There were no donkeys and no other goats.

I did not have to practice queuing.

I did not have to share my field.





Now it's Armageddon! Said Billy.

It's Armageddon and it's here now.




Armageddon? Said Puppy.

Yes, said Billy, it's Armageddon.



I am going to tell the goats said Puppy.




Goats, goats, Billy says it's Armageddon!

We don't believe it said the goats.

We don't believe it's Armageddon.

You had better tell the donkeys.

You had better tell the donkeys

Before Armageddon arrives.




Fossil, Phil I must tell you something.

I must tell you something that Billy said.

It's Armageddon! Said Puppy.

I have to tell you before it gets here.

I think it's already here said Billy.


Better take cover then said Phil.




Indeed said Fossil.

Lost puppy



I am lost said Puppy.






We have found you said the goats.





I am not sure that makes me feel glad, said Puppy.

The great escape



I will look this way Fossil.

I will look this way Phil.




What are we looking for Phil? Said Fossil.

We are looking for those goats! Said Phil.

Puppy had a plan, remember?

A plan to escape those goats!

A plan to escape those goats?

I don't think it can be done! Said Fossil.




Just walk past them nonchalantly said Phil.

Nonchalantly? Said Fossil

Yes, nonchalantly said Phil.

Just walk past them nonchalantly and they won't notice a thing.


We will put our glasses on and

keep our heads down.




I think we got away with it said Phil.

Indeed said Fossil.


Lovely and warm



It's so lovely and warm today said Phil.

It's so lovely and warm.

I am going to have a sunbathe.




DO NOT DISTURB said Fossil.

The queue continues



Come on. Come on. Said the little white goat.

We are queuing over here now.

Hurry up Fossil. Hurry up Phil.

Hurry up this way.




That little white goat is so bossy said Fossil.

It is so bossy said Phil.

I told you to get in line.

Said the little white goat.




I just cant manage it now said Phil.

I am just going to have a little sit down.




I give up said the little white goat.

Don't blame me if you can't queue properly.

I am doing my best said Phil.





Indeed said Fossil.

Queue training



Move along folks said the goats.

Move along.

Keep it moving. Move along now.




Come on Puppy. Move along now.

We are in training said the goats.

Training for what? Said Fossil.

Queue training said the goats.

We are the best at queuing 

But you can learn too.




We are getting the hang of it said Phil.

Indeed said Fossil.
