CARRARA MARKET

What a frightening time Skin had at Carrara Market today, back on the Gold Coast.

He met two lovely girls, Emma and Lana who escorted him to the market and introduced him to Ketut,the bongo player.

Skin tried to have a bang but his arms were too short and skinny to make any noise other than a slight scratching sound.

THEN...they introduced him to a.....

   WIDE MOUTHED CROCODILE who took a large SNAP at  the unfortunate banana.

Poor Skin was so terrified that one of his eyes rolled right back into his head!

He quickly leapt out of the slimy mouth, and fell straight down into the opening chasm of...........

A VERY LARGE WARRIOR!

  ( I think he must have been a cannibal.)

 

After these two horrifying experiences,

Skin put on his sunglasses and found comfort in the arms of a giant Buddha......

and felt himself slowly calming OAKEY CARRARA 020down

Then....to ease  his shattered nerves (and eye ) even more, he jumped into a large, comfy bag and began swinging back and forth.

 

A friendly frog  called out from below and  offered him a ride in her large tricycle. OAKEY CARRARA 024

Skin was just beginning to enjoy the movement of the wheels turning strangely underneath him, when suddenly, he spied, right there in front of him, one of his  SUPER HEROES!

(Being a foolish banana, this particular hero really appeals to Skin's sense of the ridiculous.)

He felt truly honoured to have his photograph taken sitting on his mentors' shoulder........

What other disasters would Skin avoid as he travelled the endless highway?
