opened the suitcase and took out several empty glass jars.
He set them ready on the ground, with their screw tops
removed. Then he stood up very straight. His head was now
high up in the swirling mist and it kept disappearing, then
appearing again. He was holding the long net in his right
hand. Sophie upwards, saw through the mist that his
colossal ears were beginning to swivel out from his head.
They began waving gently to and fro.

grabbed hold of it. He lowered the net into the net. Very

net into the jar. He dropped the net and swiftly clapped one
