There are two bank robbers in the middle of the field, pretending to be a cow. "So where's the bank?"
   Martin and Elaine go to meet their friends, Gary and Nicole, in town. They walk around the shops for over an hour and then they go for a coffee. Before going home, they arrange to meet again for a game of tennis.
   Martin climbs the stairs at home, but he stops on the first step. He has a feeling that something isn't quite right. He tries to think of what it could be. He stands there for a few minutes before walking on, but he stops again two steps later.
   He has a beard by the time he gets to the top of the stairs, and then it finally dawns on him. "They were string puppets!"
   He runs back downstairs and says to Elaine, "Gary and Nicole are string puppets!"
   She remembers their shopping trip. When Nicole was using her credit card it took ages for her to sign her name, and at the cafe, Gary missed his mouth with the coffee cup. "I thought I was just being paranoid," Elaine says, "but I was starting to wonder if those people were following us around."
   They go to see their friends, and Martin says, "Are ye just string puppets?"
   "Is that a real beard?" Gary says.
   "Ah... yeah. I just lost my... hat earlier, and I was wondering if ye might have seen it."
   "No."
   "Right. We better be off then."
   As they drive home, Elaine says, "Was he gluing his hand to the dog?" Martin brakes and turns around.
   Gary is in the garden. His hand is stuck to the dog, who's dragging him around the lawn. "Did you glue your hand to the dog?" Martin says.
   "No." The dog runs towards the gate and takes Gary with him, but he stops suddenly and walks back the way he came. He stops again. "Is that really a cow?" Gary says.
