Pinky Ponk GPS
Yesterday, the Pinky Ponk got stuck in a tree. The series of events leading up to this calamity were unassuming, as events often are in the Night Garden. However, right before the Pinky Ponk got stuck in the tree branches, it flew into a tree trunk, ricocheted off and got wedged in some other branches.
The occupants of the Pinky Ponk at the time (which included everyone except the Haahoos and the Wottingers) dislodged the Pinky Ponk by swaying backwards and forwards — much like a rally car driver.
After the Pinky Ponk had landed, I asked Igglepiggle what happened:
‘Well, ‘, said Igglepiggle, ‘usually, Pinky Ponks GPS will guide it through the trees and around any obstacles it might find in the garden.’
‘Why not this time?’ I ask, ’surely the tree it hit didn’t just pop into existance?’
‘Haha, no!’ laughed Igglepiggle, ‘it’s actually quite embarressing, but there are two possible reasons that the GPS stopped working; one, the batteries ran out, or two, and this one is more likely, it was a TIE’.
‘A Tie?’, I ask, shaking my head, ‘What is that?’
‘A Tittifer Induced Error’ said Igglepiggle. ‘It means that either a Titterfer has flown too close to the Pinky Ponk GPS and blocked the signal, or, and this is the embaressing bit, a Tittifer pooped onto the Pinky Ponk GPS ariel!’
I heard Upsy Daisy snigger.
‘This time though’, said IP, ‘a Tittifer flew too close. They do it on purpose sometimes for fun. The Pinky Ponk makes the funny frustrated farting noise then!’
