One of Wilson's friends told him that the International Space Station would be passing overhead last night, so after a day's keen anticipation we went out into the garden to observe it.
The ISS was very bright and easy to see, but Wilson refused to believe that it was a space station.
'I've seen space ships on tv' he told me, 'and they're way bigger than that! That's just a dot in the sky. What's supposed to be living on it — Russian and American ants?'
Suddenly he burst out laughing. 'They must be Antstronauts!' he spluttered.
When he went to bed he wrote in his diary, 'Saw shooting star. Made wish. Also made v. good joke about ants.'
