Jerry had only confused recollec-
ton of the first. five years of his life.
1t was all very much like strange
dream, in which startling, unexpected,
and commonplace experiences followed
selves up in Kaleidoscope confusion.
He felt sure he could remember a kind
womans face that seemed to be always
with him. But it was only for very
little while. Then something terrible
happened. He lost the arms that held
him in a great sea of dark, cold water.
