warm day and the tide was out, no one was on the beaches. The maoues were<br />
a bit disappointed that there was no one to poop on.<br />
“Oh look, an empty bus travelling along the seafront.” P’tit Jean was quite<br />
excited. “Come on, let’s use the bus as target practice.”<br />
The two pouque maoues took it in turns to annoy the bus driver and fire poop<br />
at the windscreen. The annoyed bus driver stopped the empty bus, waved his<br />
hands and shouted at the birds. They both squawked a laugh and flew <strong>of</strong>f. The<br />
bus driver washed his windscreen and thought to himself that this was the most<br />
excitement he had had all day. No humans were using the buses in the lockdown<br />
except those who worked at the hospitals to make people better. The key<br />
worker humans who were needed to make sure that there was electricity for<br />
the homes and food in the shops mostly travelled by car. The bus driver felt like<br />
a ghost driver, driving round the island with no people on board and hardly any<br />
traffic on the roads.<br />
The pouques looked at each other as they flew over the empty island and<br />
wondered how they could help. They remembered what Sammy had said about<br />
the shortage <strong>of</strong> alcohol gel and decided to go and get their leftover supplies to<br />
give to the humans. As they were flying across the island with the gel, P’tit Jean<br />
spotted a factory.<br />
“Look, he pointed, “that says <strong>Guernsey</strong> Seaweed Company. Perhaps we can<br />
leave it there. They will know what to do with it.”<br />
