"All right" said Nick. "I'm

So Weeny lifted them both uI
onto his back and away he trotted
"Where does Crinkle live?" asked
Nick.
"He lives in flat muddy river
not so very Deep" said Weeny
"He's told me about it lots of times

Weeny. trotting along in high good
humor.
"Does Crinkle crocodile live
here?" he asked of big pink bird
standing in some water. The big
pink bird, with a sort of loop-the-
loop neck and a shoe-buttoner for a
bill, stood on one leg and then OH
the other leg and looked them all
over.
II don't know" he said. II don't
know him even. What. does he look
like?
"He's pointed at both ends, and
as flat as q mattress, and he has
teeth at one of his ends,' said
Weeny. "And he has eyeballs as
big as teacups and they stick out
of his head"
ooh, hunt" said the pink bird,
Strengthening out his loop-the-loop
neck. as he marked all over in
squares like a pan of fudge?''
"That's the very person!" said
Weeny quickly.
"Well. don't know where he
lives" said the pink bird, walking
to the other end of the rock he was
standing on. "What do you want to
know for?"
"We've come to spend our vaca-
ton with him." said Weeny. "These
are my friends, Nancy and Nick.
Mister-Mister-"
"Mister Flamingo," finished the
bird.
But just as he spoke Mister Fla

rock he stood on had completely dis

Then he appeared again above

waiting for it for half an hour"
And looking around, Nancy and
Nick saw stork.
"Well,' what's so funny?" asked
Weeny kind of cross like, because
he didn't understand what the joke
was.
"That silly flamingo doesn't know
anything but fish," laughed the
stork. mo wonder he got a good
dousing! He was standing right on
Crinkle Crocodile's back and never
knew it,"

anxiously. do you s'pose Crinkle

to the top of the water again. "And
