He ate the starfish and the garfish, and the crab and the\u003cbr\u003edab, and the plaice and the dace, and the skate and his mate, and the\u003cbr\u003emackereel and the pickereel, and the really truly twirly-whirly eel. All\u003cbr\u003ethe fishes he could find in all the sea he ate with his mouth--so! Till\u003cbr\u003eat last there was only one small fish left in all the sea, and he was a\u003cbr\u003esmall 'Stute Fish, and he swam a little behind the Whale's right ear,\u003cbr\u003eso as to be out of harm's way. Then the Whale stood up on his tail and\u003cbr\u003esaid, 'I'm hungry.' And the small 'Stute Fish said in a small 'stute\u003cbr\u003evoice, 'Noble and generous Cetacean, have you ever tasted Man?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'No,' said the Whale. 'What is it like?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Nice,' said the small 'Stute Fish. 'Nice but nubbly.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Then fetch me some,' said the Whale, and he made the sea froth up with\u003cbr\u003ehis tail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'One at a time is enough,' said the 'Stute Fish. 'If you swim to\u003cbr\u003elatitude Fifty North, longitude Forty West (that is magic), you will\u003cbr\u003efind, sitting _on_ a raft, _in_ the middle of the sea, with nothing on\u003cbr\u003ebut a pair of blue canvas breeches, a pair of suspenders (you must _not_\u003cbr\u003eforget the suspenders, Best Beloved), and a jack-knife, one\u003cbr\u003eship-wrecked Mariner, who, it is only fair to tell you, is a man of\u003cbr\u003einfinite-resource-and-sagacity.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the Whale swam and swam to latitude Fifty North, longitude Forty\u003cbr\u003eWest, as fast as he could swim, and _on_ a raft, _in_ the middle of the\u003cbr\u003esea, _with_ nothing to wear except a pair of blue canvas breeches, a\u003cbr\u003epair of suspenders (you must particularly remember the suspenders, Best\u003cbr\u003eBeloved), _and_ a jack-knife, he found one single, solitary shipwrecked\u003cbr\u003eMariner, trailing his toes in the water. (He had his mummy's leave to\u003cbr\u003epaddle, or else he would never have done it, because he was a man of\u003cbr\u003einfinite-resource-and-sagacity.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen the Whale opened his mouth back and back and back till it nearly\u003cbr\u003etouched his tail, and he swallowed the shipwrecked Mariner, and the\u003cbr\u003eraft he was sitting on, and his blue canvas breeches, and the suspenders\u003cbr\u003e(which you _must_ not forget), _and_ the jack-knife--He swallowed them\u003cbr\u003eall down into his warm, dark, inside cup-boards, and then he smacked his\u003cbr\u003elips--so, and turned round three times on his tail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as soon as the Mariner, who was a man of\u003cbr\u003einfinite-resource-and-sagacity, found himself truly inside the Whale's\u003cbr\u003ewarm, dark, inside cup-boards, he stumped and he jumped and he thumped\u003cbr\u003eand he bumped, and he pranced and he danced, and he banged and he\u003cbr\u003eclanged, and he hit and he bit, and he leaped and he creeped, and he\u003cbr\u003eprowled and he howled, and he hopped and he dropped, and he cried and he\u003cbr\u003esighed, and he crawled and he bawled, and he stepped and he lepped, and\u003cbr\u003ehe danced hornpipes where he shouldn't, and the Whale felt most unhappy\u003cbr\u003eindeed. (_Have_ you forgotten the suspenders?)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo he said to the 'Stute Fish, 'This man is very nubbly, and besides he\u003cbr\u003eis making me hiccough. What shall I do?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Tell him to come out,' said the 'Stute Fish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo the Whale called down his own throat to the shipwrecked Mariner,\u003cbr\u003e'Come out and behave yourself. I've got the hiccoughs.'","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079641481456,"sku":"2940013521919","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013521919_p0.jpg?v=1763582421","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013521919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
