【明報專訊】I tried it with the Christmas turkey, but it didn't work. That was a serious disappointment because I had dreams of making a bird that had more than two legs. Then I tried it with a box turtle, but that was a sad failure because I ended up with something that looked like a Frisbee on four tiny legs. Third time lucky though: I caught a cicada, and now I have two. Two cicadas, that is. One chirps or sings — whatever it is that cicadas do — and the other is mute. I couldn't wish for anything more. When my older brother asked me to give it a try with a Ferrari Spider, I said no. We don't need a car that expensive in our driveway.
