Frank bought every gadget recommended for his first camping trip.
At the campsite, his daughter asked where they would sleep.
Frank pointed proudly to a tiny bag.
After ten minutes trying to unfold its contents, he called the shop….
Frank had watched three hours of camping videos. He packed a solar lantern, a folding kettle and a shovel with seven functions.
His daughter, Ruby, packed biscuits.
At the campsite, he emptied the car and spread everything neatly on the grass.
Where’s the tent? Ruby asked.
In this bag. Modern materials.
He pulled out a large piece of thin fabric.
There were no poles. No door. No instructions.
He searched the bag while Ruby ate a biscuit.
Eventually he called the shop.
I think you’ve forgotten most of my tent.
The assistant asked for the product number.
That’s a tent footprint, she said. It goes underneath a tent.
Frank looked at the fabric, then at the clouds.
Ruby offered him a biscuit.
At least you’ve brought something with a roof, Dad.
What’s that?
The car.
