I stand in the proper place, right in front of it, but my reflection is always too far to the left for me to see.
Tick Tock Turkey flapped his wings again: ‘If you want to know what you look like, then do what everybody else does – use a mirror, you silly blob!’ Actually, I’ve never seen myself, so even I’m not sure what I look like.’ When you look very closely, there’s a blurry part at the edge of the picture. People try their best, but they always end up with a picture of a tree or an empty beach. I’m always slightly to the left of where I am. ‘Yes,’ said Blobert, ‘it sounds silly, but that’s the way it is. Tick Tock Turkey scrunched up his face: ‘Slightly to the left of where you are? That’s stupid!’ The thing is, I tend to be just slightly to the left of where I am.’ ‘I get this a lot, being a blob,’ said Blobert. ‘I’ve tried to see you Blobert, but it makes my eyes go funny. ‘Yes, they really do,’ sighed Future Dog. ‘I’m sorry Blobert, but if you were meant to be seen then it wouldn’t be such hard work, would it? You don’t see anyone struggling to see me, now do you? Everyone always knows where I am.’ But it wasn’t easy – I had to make a real effort.’
‘I’ve spent more time with Blobert than you, Tick Tock Turkey, and with practice I’ve managed to get the hang of it. ‘Where’s he gone now? Blobert? I can hear you, but you’ve disappeared again.’įuture Dog, who had mastered the art of seeing Blobert, nodded sympathetically: ‘There is a knack to it,’ she said. ‘Blobert,’ said Tick Tock Turkey, throwing his wings up in frustration, ‘why do you have to be so weird! Stand still! There you are. Tick Tock Turkey had been trying to look at Blobert for nearly an hour, without much success. Blobert, who is a rather talented cook, had prepared a surprise for Tick Tock Turkey, but he wasn’t allowed to have it until he had tried to be friendly. Before they could be better friends, Tick Tock Turkey would have to learn to look at blobs without going cross-eyed. Blobs are not easy to see, and Tick Tock Turkey’s main problem with Blobert was all the effort it took to look at him. If you want to know what Blobert looks like, imagine a blob: that’s Blobert. Future Dog had brought Blobert down to the beach so that his two best friends could have a chance to get to know each other.
Tick Tock Turkey didn’t know Blobert very well, but he had made it clear that he had a very disapproving view of blobs. Future Dog had decided that it was time that Tick Tock Turkey should try to get on better with another of the island’s inhabitants – Blobert. It's a story from Egg Island, the home of that famous time travelling bird, Tick Tock Turkey. This story is named after a very special recipe created by an ingenious chef called Blobert. Read by Natasha Gostwick Duration 22 minutes His latest creation is a Very Filling Pudding, but it's not quite filling enough to satisfy a gobbling Turkey. This particular blob happens to be a fabulous cook. Like many blobs he is quite hard to see because he is often just to the left of himself.
