Astra's Aim is True

Astra held her breath for a moment, as she was not sure what would happen if the bottle broke. But there was no sound of breaking glass. Then she realised that there was another problem with her plan. She and Fred were both halfway up the first tree, but Robert was on the ground, and he might well find the bottle before she could return to the ground. At least he had used up all his wishes, but she would need to get the bottle off him before he could pass it to Fred.

So she started down. Fred had a bit of a start on her, not having managed to climb so high originally.

1. Astra overtakes Fred. Robert has found the bottle by the time she reaches him. Astra manages to get it off him.
2. Astra is too late. Robert finds the bottle and gives it to Fred. Robert says that his first wish should be that Astra, like Fred, believes Robert to be a great guy and always right.
3. Before anyone can find the bottle, the monkey comes round, grabs the bottle and runs off.
