Deputy Flunk was feeling frustrated.
‘We have constructed the invisible moat around Lóntuisteach’, he said.
‘Did you fill it with nothing like I requested?’
‘Yes Prime Minister.’
‘And did you add the invisible crocodiles?’
‘Yes Prime Minister.’
‘Liar, there’s no such thing as an invisible crocodile, now go get regular crocodiles and put them in the invisible moat.’
‘Are you sure that’s necessary Sir?’
‘Absolutely, an invisible enemy will easily swim an invisible moat undetected.’
‘Sir?’
‘What is it?’
‘Shouldn’t we do something about real enemies.’
‘Don’t be silly Flunkey, nobody cares about them -our greatest problem is the unknown.’
