SANDWORM

Just before Wilson fled to safety in his Asteroid Shelter, a small, dirt-encrusted furry head emerged from the recently-appeared pile of earth.

Antony unhelpfully called out, 'Oooh look — it's a man-eating Sandworm, from Dune! In the movie they were WAY bigger than that — this one's probably a baby!'

The creature looked up and said, 'Hi Antony!' and Antony waved back.

'You two know each other?' Wilson asked, incredulously. 

'Sure,' Antony replied, 'This is the mole you kept missing last year!'

In a timid voice, Dave said, 'Hello, my name is Dave; Dave Beanie-Ty. What's your name?'

Wilson immediately turned to me, his paw extended, and announced, 'Meet the Wild Mole Experience — £5 please, New Dad!'
