united the bundle and began to take

"Here is a present for Megishoo,"
said the captain. He put shining

hands.
"Put 1t up to your lips and blow
in It," said one of the men. Megishoo
pulled and blew first one way and
then another, but she could not make
any sounds. Her cheeks puffed out
and grew red and she almost lost

made noise.
"Oh, Megishoo make music!" she
said with happy smile. And in a
