He had jumped from a rock onto the back of a small whale who was fast asleep and cuddled up between two rocks. The whale was snoring and making more noise than a steam shovel, so it never heard my father say, "Oh, I didn't know that was you!"

 he could just see a tiny patch of green. He quickly ate seven tangerines and started down the beach. It was almost dark when he came to the rocks, but there, way out in the ocean, was the patch of green. He sat down and rested a while, remembering that the cat had said, "If you can, go out to the island at night, because then the wild animals won't see you coming along the rocks and you can hide when you get there." So my father picked seven more tangerines, put on his black rubber boots, and waited for dark. It was a very black night and my father could hardly see the rocks ahead of him. Sometimes they were quite high and sometimes the waves almost covered them, and they were slippery and hard to walk on.

It grew louder and louder as he got nearer to the island. At last it seemed as if he was right on top of the noise, and he was. WAY WAY OUT AT THE END HE COULD JUST SEE A TINY PATCH OF GREEN HE QUICKLY ATE SEVEN TANGERINES AND STARTED DOWN THE BEACH IT WAS ALMOST DARK WHEN HE CAME TO THE ROCKS BUT THERE WAY OUT IN THE OCEAN WAS THE PATCH OF GREEN HE SAT DOWN AND RESTED FOR A WHILE REMEMBERING THAT THE CAT HAD SAID IF YOU CAN GO OUT TO THE ISLAND THAT NIGHT BECAUSE THEN THE WILD ANIMALS WON'T SEE YOU COMING ALONG THE ROCKS YOU CAN HIDE WHEN YOU GET THERE SO MY FATHER PICKED SEVEN MORE TANGERINES PUT ON HIS BLACK RUBBER BOOTS AND WAITED FOR DARK IT WAS A VERY BLACK NIGHT AND MY FATHER COULD HARDLY SEE THE ROCKS AHEAD OF HIM SOMETIMES THEY WERE QUITE HIGH AND SOMETIMES THE WAVES ALMOST COVERED THEM THEN THEY WERE SLIPPERY AND HARD TO WALK ON SOMETIMES THE ROCKS WERE FAR APART AND MY FATHER HAD TO GET A RUNNING START AND LEAP FROM ONE TO THE NEXT AFTER A WHILE HE BEGAN TO HEAR A RUMBLING NOISE IT GREW LOUDER AND LOUDER AS HE GOT NEARER TO THE ISLAND AT LAST IT SEEMED AS IF HE WAS RIGHT ON TOP OF THE NOISE IN HE WAS
