[Kevin Nauta]

Mr. Knowles:  Lepidoptera is the correct name for it, it's
the study of winged insects. Now, when Graham and Roy saw the article in the
Junior Gazette they very nicely asked me if I'd bring along some of my
specimens. And so I've brought a selection here. 
 
He bends down to pick it up. A
ping is stuck on his back. The students laugh. 
 
Mr. Knowles:  Now you may want to pass these back, but do,
um,  please be careful with them because
some of them are rather valuable. 
Boy:  Wow, look at the wings on that!
Mr. Knowles:  Yes, j-just be careful with them. 
Boy:  Doesn't it make you want to rush out and
stick in pin in something?
Mr. Knowles:  Now come on, boys. 
Boy#2:  Hey sir, can you collect budgies like this?
Mr. Knowles:  Let's just be careful, please!  Some of them are rather valuable!
Boy#3:  Yeah, yeah, sir. I bet they are. Here, catch!
 
It falls down on the floor and
breaks. 
 
Boy#3:  Oh it's too late, sir - they're all dead!
