Little
Wong is on holiday during the early seventies. This being the early seventies, the house the family has rented for a couple of weeks is festooned with rubber plants and cacti. Young Wong, being but a few years old, has never actually seen a cactus in real life, and is familiar with them only from westerns and Desperate Dan. However, the ones he's seen usually have huge spines like darning needles, whereas the ones around the house have little delicate ones like angel hair. So obviously they can't hurt, right? Especially if you just give them a little tap with a couple of fingertips. Whatever my parents' plans for the holiday may have been, they quickly transformed into "find a way to stop this six-year-old screaming".
