"A never-ending stream of big birds"
At last,介绍🏤 on reading the muddy message through,剧情🛁 the Doctor's excitement and enthusiasm knew no bounds. He began at once to make arrangements to leave the following day for a visit to the turtle.
"Pardon me,剧情👺 but is there much more of you outside still?" asked the Doctor.
THE END
"Well,剧情💈 right from the start we did a roaring trade. All the dogs for miles around heard of us and came to hire bones. And we would charge them according to the length of time they wanted to hire them. For instance,金枝欲孽🚓 you could rent a good ham bone for one day for a candlestick or a hair brush; for three days for a violin or an umbrella. And if you wanted your bone for a whole week you had to bring us a suit of clothes in payment.
"Then the father swings his lantern around,剧情🎏 looking for a cat; and before I had time to hop away he throws the light full on me,介绍🏢 sitting on a sage bush.
Years afterwards,介绍📧 the birds visiting Puddleby told the Doctor that the King still had the flowers in the window-boxes of his old houseboat carefully tended and watered in his memory. His Majesty,金枝欲孽🐀 they said,剧情🌽 never gave up the fond hope that some day his good white friend would come back to Fantippo with his kindly smile,金枝欲孽🚧 his instructive conversation and his jolly tea-parties on the post office veranda.
On the coast of West Africa,金枝欲孽🚺 about twenty miles to the northward of Fantippo,金枝欲孽🔳 there was a cape running out into the sea which had a lighthouse on it called the Cape Stephen Light. This light was kept carefully burning by the government who controlled that part of Africa,剧情😈 in order that ships should see it from the sea and know where they were. It was a dangerous part of the coast,介绍📳 this. There were many rocks and shallows near the end of Cape Stephen. And if the light were ever allowed to go out at night,介绍💕 of course,剧情💚 ships traveling that part of the sea would be in great danger of running into the long cape and wrecking themselves.
Toward evening the Doctor arrived at a small settlement of straw huts,金枝欲孽🌖 the village of Chief Nyam-Nyam. Calling on the Chief with an introduction from King Koko,介绍🌗 the Doctor was well received. He found,剧情🌒 however,金枝欲孽📏 that the country over which this chief ruled was indeed in a very poor state. For years powerful neighbors on either side had made war on the old Chief and robbed him of his best farming lands,剧情⚡ till now his people were crowded onto a narrow strip of rocky shore where very little food could be grown. The Doctor was particularly distressed by the thinness of the few chickens pecking about in the streets. They reminded him of old broken-down cab-horses,剧情🐟 he said.
But the parent birds,金枝欲孽👈 as soon as the young ones were able to fly,介绍💓 set their children to work clearing up the mess. And all that mud was taken off and dropped into the harbor,剧情📜 piece by piece. And the Doctor's ship was left in a cleaner state than it had ever been before in its whole life.
"Don't celebrate Christmas!" cried Cheapside in a shocked voice. "What a disgraceful scandal! Well,金枝欲孽😻 look here,剧情👶 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."
For many folks it would have seemed a creepy,剧情⛎ nightmary sort of country,剧情🍧 this land of the mangrove swamps. But to the Doctor,剧情🔞 for whom any kind of animal life was always companionable and good intentioned,介绍📆 it was a most delightful new field of exploration.
"He has gone northward,介绍📐" said the Doctor. "But your ship is fast and should be able to overtake him. If he hides in some of these bays and creeks I have several birds here with me who can,剧情🚩 as soon as it is light,介绍🍣 seek him out for us and tell us where he is."
As soon as the Doctor had lit his pipe and got it well going he began:
John Dolittle had no idea of what he meant to do. Nor was the gull himself sure that he would be in time to succeed with the plan he had in mind. But presently,金枝欲孽✂ to his delight,金枝欲孽👪 the seabird heard his call being answered from the rocky shores shrouded in darkness. And soon he had hundreds of his brother gulls circling round him in the night.
And she went off to fetch the Skimmer.
But with this new trade in selling stamps for stamp collections,介绍🛁 and not for proper mailing purposes,剧情🐎 the Fantippo mail service was neglected and became very bad.
"'What doctor?'" I asked.
"Dear me!" muttered the Doctor,金枝欲孽👆 paddling harder than ever,金枝欲孽🌿 "I wonder what can have happened?"
With a howl Wilkins bent down to knock her off.
Well,介绍🔠 after ten days John Dolittle got what is called the Domestic Mails in pretty good shape. Domestic mails are those that carry letters from one part of a country to another part of the same country,剧情🈴 or from one part of a city to another. The mails that carry letters outside the country to foreign lands are called Foreign Mails. To have a regular and good service of foreign mails in the Fantippo post office the Doctor found a hard problem,剧情🚛 because the mail ships which could carry letters abroad did not come very often to this port. Fantippo,介绍🎐 although King Koko was most proud of it,介绍👅 was not considered a very important country among the regular civilized nations and two or three ships a year were all that ever called there.
"How did you find them?" he asked,剧情🚂 turning to Speedy.
"So,金枝欲孽🈲 seeing they were threatened by a secret danger,介绍⚫ I went off and told the leader of the herd about it. He was frightfully stupid and I had the hardest work getting it into his head.
Then Gub-Gub got all worked up and before anybody could stop him he had taken a plunge. The pig went down so quick and so straight he got his snout stuck in the mud at the bottom,介绍🌙 and the Doctor,金枝欲孽💵 still out of breath,金枝欲孽⭕ had to go down after him and get him free. The animals by this time were at such a pitch of excitement that even the white mouse would have jumped in if Gub-Gub's accident hadn't changed his mind.
"Aye,金枝欲孽🏡 aye,剧情✌ sir,金枝欲孽🚞" said the master-at-arms. And before the Doctor knew it he had handcuffs fastened firmly on his wrists.
We are now come to an unusual event in the history of the Doctor's post office,介绍😕 to the one which was,金枝欲孽🈺 perhaps,金枝欲孽🍅 the greatest of all the curious things that came about through the institution of the Swallow Mail.
