The small spaceship Tony used to get to the Moon
was one he had built himself in the garage behind
number 23 Railway Cuttings.

Tony had tried to get the Government interested
in his spaceship, he had even written to NASA.

Nobody listened to him, they all just said you could
not build a spaceship in your back garden.

A reporter from the local newspaper came to look at
the spaceship but said no one would believe he had
invented a new kind of spaceship because he had a
big nose.
The reporter had a big nose and nobody ever
believed anything he said, which was why had
become a reporter.
