Willy Walrus set up his microscope on a small table in front of the Eiffel Tower. He is investigating a very interesting crystal: the crystal looks like a big flute, and when he chips off pieces with a sledgehammer they also look like little flutes. He stores the chips in a black sneaker and to put them under the microscope he uses a fork.
