 is an interesting place, but I saw something there that made me want to weep." [Illustration] [Illustration] _Chapter Two_ MY FATHER RUNS AWAY "Wild Island is practically cut in two by a very wide and muddy river," continued the cat. "This river begins near one end of the island and flows into the ocean at the other. Now the animals there are very lazy, and they used to hate having to go all the way around the beginning of this river to get to the other side of the island. It made visiting inconvenient and mail deliveries slow, particularly during the Christmas rush. Crocodiles could have carried passengers and mail across the river, but crocodiles are very moody, and not the least bit dependable, and are always looking for something to eat. They don't care if the animals have to walk around the river, so that's just what the animals did for many years." "But what does all this have to do with airplanes?" asked my father, who thought the cat was taking an awfully long time to explain.
