with the Turned-About Names, and said:
. "Have you seen # Whale around here anywhere?"
Knart and Hanid both looked at each other, looked at Teddy. looked at each other again and burst out laughing.
Anything funny?
"What's the matter?" Teddy asked in a surprised voice. "Did I'say something funny? I didn't mean to, I only asked if you had seen a Whale around here somewhere. Have you?"
Hanid stopped laughing and reached over and put her arms around Teddy.
"You foolish, tat Bear," she said.
Knarf also stopped laughing But he didn't put his arms around Teddy. He just slood smack in front of Teddy and said:
"It's impossible and you know it, Theodore Bear!"
"What?" stammered Teddy.
Too big
"You know very well that a' Whale couldn't ever be in this house." said Knart. "It's too big. I wouldn't fit. And where would it swim?"
Teddy Just shook his head.. "I'm all mixed up." he said. "About an hour ago I sow one. It was right here!"
"You saw Whale, Teddy? Here in this room?" exclaimed Hanid.
come out of the book- case." said Teddy, "I saw it with my own eyes. It swam around the roam once or twice, then it swam out through the door. I ran after it. But I was too late. It disappeared."
Didn't laugh
"Look, Ma! Tve caught him!" Simple Simon shouted.
Hanid told Knarf to turn to the poem about Simple Simon.
"II Teddy is right about see- ing the Whale come out fixm the pages." she said, "the Whale won't be in the book any more!"
Looked very strange
And, sure enough. when Knart turned to the poem about Simple Simon, where it told about how Simon went fishing for a Whale in his mother's wooden pail, the picture that went with the poem looked very strange.
There was Simon, standing by the wooden pail, holding the fishing line, but the place in the picture where the Whale should have been, was just a blank space!
And when Knarf read the poen, even it looked different!
Simple Simon went a-fishing For 10 caich 3 - -
All the water he had got Was in his mother's pail. Later that day. after Knart and Hanid and Mr Punch and General Tin, the Tin Soldier, and Picky-Poo, the Poodle, had all searched with Teddy, they found the Whale under the Again Knart
Hanid corner of the carpet. and looked at each other, again they both looked at Teddy, and again they looked at each other. Only this time they didn't burst out Jaughing.
"You say that Whale came out of the bookcase?" Hanid asked Teddy after she had sat him down quietly on the bench in front of the bookcase. "Tell me just what happened,"
"Well," said Teddy. "I was sitting right here when all of a sudden I heard someone shout- ing. It sounded like a boy's voice. It came

those books standing on the bot- tom shelf. I heard the Boy's voice shouting:
"I've caught
the Whale!
Look, Ma-I've caught him!'
"But the next second 1 heard
a big noise like something fall-
ing over, and water splashing and then, the Boy's voice was yelling:
'Stop him! He's sway! There he goes!'"*
Out of breath
Size of cucumber
It looked like a piece of curled-up, dried, ink spot, and size of a small was about the cucumber.
Teddy put it back in the Mother Goose Book.
And when afterwards they opened the
there book again, was the Whale in the picture just as he always was, and the
lines of the Simple Simon poem were all complete.
And, strangest of all, Simple Simon (or rather the picture of him) seemed to be smiling!

Teddy was so breathless from the excitement of telling what happened that he couldn't go on for a minute or so until he got his breath back again.
Finally he said:
Then the Whole came out right out of that book!"
Knart was already down on his knees at the bottom shelf of the bookcase looking at the book. He uttered a gasp of sur- prise.
He pulled it out of the shelf and showed it to Hanid.
