‘What?’ Sandy asks. ‘Listen,’ Joe says.
Sandy listens. Drrrr! Drrrr!
‘Is it Dan? Is he working on his house?’ asks Sandy. Dan lives in the next house.
‘No, that isn’t Dan,’ says Joe. He walks over to the window. He sees nothing. Just the mountains
and the flat blue water. But he can hear the noise. A new noise.
Drrrr! Drrrr!
Joe looks up. He looks around. He looks up again. Then he sees it. On the mountain near his house
he sees a big machine. It’s making a noise: Drrrr! Drrrr! The machine is taking trees down. Behind
it there’s another big machine. It’s digging a hole in the ground.
‘Look at this!’ Joe says to Sandy. ‘What?’ asks Sandy.
Near the machines is a big white sign. On the sign it says PAN GLOBAL.
