"Well,书屋💚 you see,书屋❕" said the swallow,书屋🌜 lifting his right leg and showing a tiny red ribbon made of corn silk tied about his ankle,皮皮🔫 "I got this for it."

On the ship the seamen were still fighting with the gulls. The captain,书屋🐓 seeing that no helmsman could steer the boat right with thousands of wings fluttering in his eyes,皮皮🅾 gave the orders to lay the ship to for a little and to get out the hose pipes. And a strong stream of water was turned on to the gulls around the helmsman,书屋👳 so they could no longer get near him. Then the ship got under way again and came on toward the cape once more.

But,皮皮🚣 being a full-rigged man-o'-war,皮皮🌇 the Violet was still a pretty speedy sailer. And on she went,书屋🏥 furiously plowing the waves and slowly gaining on the slave ship.

While the Doctor was examining them with great curiosity the turtle said:

Many of the giraffes were suffering from sore hoofs and he showed them where to find a special root that could be put into a foot bath and would bring immediate relief. The rhinoceroses' horns were growing too long and John Dolittle explained to them how by grinding them against a certain kind of stone and by eating less grass and more berries they could keep the growth down. A special sort of nut tree that the deer were fond of had grown scarce and almost died out from constant nibbling. And the Doctor showed the chief stags how,皮皮🏫 by taking a few nuts and poking them down into the soft earth with their hoofs before the rainy season set in,书屋🏠 they could make new trees grow and so increase the supply.

King Koko got to hear of this and he called up one of these stamp collectors and asked him why men should offer high prices for one old used stamp. And the white man explained to him this new craze for stamp collecting that was sweeping over the civilized world.PART III

The two keepers thought that the Doctor was surely crazy when he started a conversation of chirps with Cheapside. But from the answers they got to their questions they could see there was no fake about the news of the city which the sparrow gave."Yes,皮皮🚨 they are devoted to those pebbles,书屋📪" said the spoonbill. "By the way,书屋☎ were you able to tell me what they are? I found them,皮皮⭐ as I wrote you,皮皮▫ inside an oyster."

"You,皮皮🐩 Doctor,书屋🚌" said the deep voice of the piffilosaurus at his elbow,皮皮👫 "are the first human in a thousand years that has set foot here. The last one was King Kakaboochi's mother-in-law."

"It's a bit dizzy still,书屋👵" said the Doctor,书屋💕 working at the rope about his ankles. "But I'll be all right in a little."

"That's true,皮皮🚅" murmured the Doctor. "But what shall I write to him about?"

But,书屋📯 alas! instead of making the number of letters he had to answer less,皮皮😄 the Doctor found that by sending out books of information he increased a hundredfold the already enormous mail he had to attend to.

This place he found very different from any of the African villages or settlements he had ever visited. It was quite large,皮皮🐐 almost a city. It was bright and cheerful to look at and the people,书屋💧 like their King,皮皮♉ all seemed very kind and jolly."Tee-hee-hee!" tittered the white mouse.

The birds,皮皮💴 who at first followed the Doctor in droves around the main island wherever he went,皮皮❓ presently returned to their ordinary doings when the newness of his arrival had worn off. And after Dab-Dab had come back from her hunt and told him the spoonbill lived on one of the smaller islands,书屋👯 he got back into his canoe and paddled over to the rock she pointed out.

"'Ah,书屋👰 hah!' he cried. 'A white mouse! The very thing I've been wanting!'The tremendous animal which the Fantippans had called a dragon had now climbed right up the beach and was standing fully revealed in all his strangeness. At first he looked like some curious mixture between a crocodile and a giraffe. He had short,皮皮🚗 spreading legs,皮皮⚓ but enormously long tail and neck. On his head were two stubby little horns.

"Who is Cheapside?" asked Speedy.

"What's that?" snorted the Captain. "Here,书屋🏈 bring him back! What was that you said?"

"'What's the matter,书屋📞 Jip?' said he. 'House on fire or something?'And very soon he had an old-fashioned window-box garden on the houseboat post office blooming with geraniums and marigolds and zinnias raised from the seeds and cuttings his birds brought him from England. And that is why many of the same vegetables that grow in England can still be found in a wild state in Africa. They came there through Gub-Gub's passion for the foods he had been brought up on.
