' shall we land here ? ' asked the dream - boy . ' no , ' said little lasse . ' i am so afraid that the whales would swallow us up , and the big dogs bite us . let us sail instead to another part of the world . ' ' very well , ' said the dream - boy with the red cap and the silver band ; ' it is not far to america'--and at the same moment they were there . the sun was shining and it was very warm . tall palm trees grew in long rows on the shore and bore coconuts in their top branches . men red as copper galloped over the immense green prairies and shot their arrows at the buffaloes , who turned against them with their sharp horns . an enormous cobra which had crept up the stem of a tall palm tree threw itself on to a little llama that was grazing at the foot . knaps ! it was all over the little llama .
he was so afraid that the whales would swallow them up , and the big dogs bite them .
why didn't little lasse want to land ?
