A STORY ABOUT A PRINCE, A BEETLE AND A TIN SNAIL





ONCE UPON A TIME,

THERE WAS A PRINCE,

A BEETLE AND A TIN SNAIL…



BEETLE

TIN SNAIL

PRINCE

THIS COULD BE A FAIRY TALE - BUT IT’S NOT.

NOT SO VERY LONG AGO PEOPLE ACTUALLY

DROVE CARS THEY AFFECTIONATELY CALLED

THE TIN SNAIL, THE PRINCE AND THE BEETLE.





WHAT IS MAKING ALL THIS NOISE?

IT’S THE SOUND OF CAR HORNS.

LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF THE HORNS

OF OUR FAIRY-TALE CARS.



HORNS ARE USED TO WARN

OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS, OR JUST TO BEEP HELLO!



A CHARMING FROG ALSO DROVE AND BEEPED

IN OUR STREETS, BUT STILL HASN’T FOUND HER WAY

INTO OUR MUSEUM. IF YOU HAPPEN TO MEET HER, PLEASE SHOW HER THE WAY, WILL YOU?
