The tenth light infantry of Borogravia gather around Shufti, picking up the various items of food and looking at them in wonder.

"Look! Proper carrots! Not even mouldy!"
"Walnuts! They don't grow around here. How'd you get them Shufti?"
Shufti grins. "Ask no questions, get no lies. I scrounged, what do you think I did?"

The smallest soldier picks up the cheese.

"We can't eat this, it's an abomination unto Nuggan."
"Give it here Wazzer, I'll dispose of it for you."
"Thanks Tonker."

Tonker takes the cheese with a grin then picks up one of the tins.

"What's this? You can't eat metal. What's the writing say Ozzer?"
The tin is passed along. "It says corned beef."
"What's that?"
"Well beef is like cow."
"Don't be daft, you can't get a cow in one of them little things."
"I don't think it's a whole cow Tonker." Shufti takes the tin and looks at it.

"How do we get in it then?"

There is a pause.

"We could shoot it." Lofty suggests. Wazzer takes the tin, then starts to prod it with a sharp sword until the lid comes off.

"Wazzer?"
"Yes?"
"There's a round ring thing on the other end. Do you think that's how we open it?"
