Now that I think about it, Luna and her father were planning an
expedition to Sweden in the summer. They were going to search for a
Crumple-Horned Snorkak, and you can be sure they won't be looking for
it in the Stockholm zoo. They'll look in the far north, get lost in
the taiga, cross the border to Norway by mistake, and they'll
definitely find *something*. And it won't be a Crumple-Horned Snorkak,
either. You never find the thing you're looking for in these
expeditions. You always find something else.
