Inside was something to eat. The littlest thing was round and flat with funny bits of wire on top. It looked as if it were made of wood, and in the sides were little round holes too small for him to put his head through. "Leave them alone," said a small voice inside of Chatterer. "But I want to see what they are and find out all about them," said Chatterer. "No good ever comes of meddling with things you don't know about," said the small voice. "But they are such queer looking things, and they're not alive. They can't hurt me," said Chatterer. Nevertheless he ran back to the pile of corn and tried to eat. Somehow he had lost his appetite. He couldn't take his eyes off those two queer things down on the floor. "Better keep away," warned the small voice inside. "It won't do any harm to have a closer look at them," said Chatterer. So once more he scrambled down from the pile of corn and little by little drew nearer to the two queer things. The nearer he got, the more harmless they looked. RAN AROUND ON THE LITTLE LEDGE WHERE HE COULD LOOK RIGHT DOWN ON THE QUEER THINGS HE WAS SURE NOW THAT THEY WERE NOT ALIVE INSIDE WAS SOMETHING TO EAT THE LITTLEST THING WAS ROUND AND FLAT WITH FUNNY BITS OF WIRE ON TOP IT LOOKED AS IF IT WERE MADE OF WOOD AND IN THE SIDES WERE LITTLE ROUND HOLES TOO SMALL FOR HIM TO PLAY HIS HEAD THROUGH THEN CHATTERER HEARD A SMALL VOICE IN HIS HEAD LEAVE THEM ALONG BUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE AND FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THEM HOW GOOD EVER COMES IN NEDDLING THE THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT BUT THEY ARE SUCH QUEER LOOKING THINGS AND THEY'RE NOT ALIVE THEY KEEP IT HURT ME NEVERTHELESS HE RAN BACK TO THE PILE OF CORN AND TRIED TO EAT SOMEHOW HE HAD LOST HIS APPETITE HE COULDN'T TAKE HIS EYES OFF THOSE TWO QUEER THINGS DOWN ON THE FLOOR BETTER KEEP AWAY IT WON'T DO ANY HARM TO HAVE A CLOSE LOOK AT THEM SO ONCE MORE HE SCRAMBLED DOWN FROM THE PILE OF CORN AND LITTLE BY LITTLE DREW NEARER TO THE TOO QUEER THING THE NEARER HE GOT THE MORE HARMLESS THEY LOOKED
