T Dan Sputnik in spacecraftT-Dan Sputnik was bored.  Peeping through the windows, he had seen this corner of Earth whizz by three times now, and each time it was accompanied by a howl from Dad yelling at Mum for not reading the map properly. 

"I said turn left at the junction.  You drove straight on!" she shrieked back. "I couldn't turn left, the diversion pointed straight on," countered Dad.

"Well, I give up." said Mum "You read the map."

"You drive then!" bellowed Dad, as they flashed down the High Street for the fourth time.

They were on a visit to T-Dan's Auntie Badger, who had moved to another planet.  Planet Squink was very close to Earth, so close in fact that nobody on Earth could actually see it. It looked virtually identical, too, which is why Mr. and Mrs. Sputnik were accidentally bombing down a sunny high street in Bedfordshire.
