you ask it very nicely'hello mr. phone, go round the world' then it says no and you insist and it says no again and you offer it some biscuits and it says ok so you give it the biscuits but one of the crumbs goes the wrong way down the line and into the telephone company and a crumb down the line sounds like 'please cancel my account' so they do and then you buy another phone and you plug it in then you realise that it is in fact not a phone but a walrus that writes poerty so you go back to the store and demand a real telephone and then you ask that telephone to go round the world and it says no and then you ask it again and it says no then you offer it some biscuits except this phone is afraid of biscuits after they ate it's father although I don't know how phones have fathers anyway you threaten it with biscuits and it says 'argh! ok i will send it around the world and then you make the phone call and it turns out that one of the phone lines are down in Peru so you take a trip to peru to fix i9t but then the plane gets stranded in the sahara desert which is nowhere near peru but anyway you take a short 500-mile hike towards the nearest boat where you take it across the pacific to Perub where you fix the telephone wire and then you take a plane back and this time it crashes outside your friend's house so you ask him to drive the car there but he says no then you threaten him with reading some walrus poetry and he says yes then drives past two houses towards your house where you find your phone has committed suicide due to loneliness so you go and use your friends phone which is scared of blue things so you hold up an orange which the telephone thinks is blue and threaten it and then it will send a message across the globe. Problem solved.
