at the customs at Obaig.

Why?

You sent two cases of ammunition to the mainland

with a note to say you were personally responsible

I did.

One of them contained six bottles of whisky.

For Export Only

Oh, but that's impossible!

Utterly impossible!

Whisky Galore!

Even after our private store was exhausted

there were stocks of legitimate whisky.

But the price went up,

and then it went up again,

until nobody on Todday could afford even a dram.

So they all lived unhappily ever after.

Oh, except for Sergeant Odd and his Peggy

for they were not whisky drinkers

And if that is not a moral story,

What is?
