"Now,手机🛂 when we children grew up big enough to go off for ourselves our parents gave us all sorts of careful instructions about escaping cats and ferrets and weasels and dogs. But over poor me they shook their heads. They really felt that there was not much hope of my leading a peaceful life with white fur that could be seen a mile off.
"About a turnip field,小游戏😱" said Gub-Gub.
"'All we eat is bananas'"
"It was marked 'Urgent,3.1🌻' in red ink,小游戏📖 Doctor,连连看🚇" said the swallow,连连看🍜 "so Speedy thought he had better send it to you by special delivery."And he went out into the kitchen and woke up the housekeeper.
Slowly and smoothly the snake slid in over the window sill and down on to the floor of the houseboat. Yards and yards and more yards long he came,手机🚲 coiling himself up neatly at John Dolittle's feet like a mooring rope on a ship's deck.
"All right,连连看📳" said the Doctor. "Please tell Gub-Gub for me to go across to the island and get the wild boars to gather up a couple of sacks of acorns. I want all the birds who work for us to have a good feed before they leave the Main Office for their flights."
"'That's for you to climb out by,3.1📼 after you've taken a bath. For you to go abroad in Summer with a coat like yours would mean certain death. So I'm going to dye you black.'
Presently Dab-Dab could be heard messing about in the mud below,手机🛂 bravely trying to get breakfast ready under difficult conditions.
"Don't celebrate Christmas!" cried Cheapside in a shocked voice. "What a disgraceful scandal! Well,宠物💜 look here,4399💰 Doctor. You just tell King Cocoa-butter that if 'e and 'is people don't celebrate the festive season by giving us post-birds Christmas-boxes there ain't going to be no mail delivered in Fantipsy from New Year's to Easter. And you can tell 'im I said so. It's 'igh time somebody hen-lightened 'is hignorance."
"'Look here,宠物♉' he said to the beggar. 'Would you like me to re-draw all your pictures for you? Of course,3.1🎨 those done on the pavement you couldn't sell,连连看😳 but we can rub them out. And I've got some spare canvases in my satchel here. Maybe you could sell a few. I can sell pictures in London any day in the week. But I've never been a pavement artist before. It would be rather a lark to see what happens.'
"'I am the oldest rat in the town and I know a great deal. But,连连看🈳 tell me,宠物🆖 why do you come here into the dyeing shed?'
CHAPTER IV
The new notice board was marked at the top Weather Reports,宠物🌻 and would read something like this:
"I'm afraid that was what brought on the attack,3.1🚑" said the Doctor,3.1🚒 getting out his little black bag from the canoe and mixing some medicines. "But you know you really ought to move out of this damp country to some drier climate. I am aware that turtles can stand an awful lot of wet. But at your age one must be careful,连连看📳 you know."
"He began his great inauguration speech"And while Quip had been waiting for this letter to be written he had filled in the time at Puddleby by gossiping with all the starlings and blackbirds in the Doctor's garden about the wonderful new Animals' post office on the island of No-Man's-Land. And pretty soon every creature in and around Puddleby had got to hear of it.
"I wonder,连连看🚥" said the Doctor. "They do say he is a most unscrupulous customer. Well,宠物🉐 there's nothing for it,手机🌍 I suppose,4399🔎 but that I should paddle back to Fantippo right away and try to find him. The post office is responsible for the loss of registered mail,小游戏🚾 and if Mr. Wilkins took those pearls I'm going to get them back again. But after this we will make it a post office rule that carriers of registered mail may not talk to their sisters or anyone else while on duty."
"Tee-hee-hee!" tittered the white mouse.
To the Doctor's astonishment the King choked on his lollipop and nearly fell over his chair backwards. Then he ran inside the palace and shut the door.Suddenly an officer shouted "Fire!" And with a crash that shook the ship from stem to stern eight big cannon balls went whistling out across the water.
As Zuzana and Begwe rose to go,3.1Ⓜ for it was beginning to get dark,3.1🔐 the Doctor noticed a canoe setting out toward his ship from the shore. And in it,4399🎎 when it got near,宠物➗ he saw King Koko himself,手机✒ coming to the white man's boat with stamps to sell.
