What
shall
we
do
,
Jack
?
"
said
he
with
a
rueful
look
.
"
Perhaps
they
may
be
poisonous
!
"
"
No
fear
,
"
replied
Jack
confidently
.
"
I
have
observed
that
a
few
of
them
are
not
unlike
some
of
the
berries
that
grow
wild
on
our
own
native
hills
.
Besides
,
I
saw
one
or
two
strange
birds
eating
them
just
a
few
minutes
ago
,
and
what
wo
n't
kill
the
birds
wo
n't
kill
us
.
But
look
up
there
,
Peterkin
,
"
continued
Jack
,
pointing
to
the
branched
head
of
a
cocoa-nut
palm
.
"
There
are
nuts
for
us
in
all
stages
.
"
"
So
there
are
!
"
cried
Peterkin
,
who
,
being
of
a
very
unobservant
nature
,
had
been
too
much
taken
up
with
other
things
to
notice
anything
so
high
above
his
head
as
the
fruit
of
a
palm-tree
.
But
whatever
faults
my
young
comrade
had
,
he
could
not
be
blamed
for
want
of
activity
or
animal
spirits
.
Indeed
,
the
nuts
had
scarcely
been
pointed
out
to
him
when
he
bounded
up
the
tall
stem
of
the
tree
like
a
squirrel
,
and
in
a
few
minutes
returned
with
three
nuts
,
each
as
large
as
a
man
's
fist
.
"
You
had
better
keep
them
till
we
return
,
"
said
Jack
.
"
Let
us
finish
our
work
before
eating
.
"
"
So
be
it
,
captain
;
go
ahead
!
"
cried
Peterkin
,
thrusting
the
nuts
into
his
trousers
pocket
.
"
In
fact
,
I
do
n't
want
to
eat
just
now
;
but
I
would
give
a
good
deal
for
a
drink
.
Oh
,
that
I
could
find
a
spring
!
but
I
do
n't
see
the
smallest
sign
of
one
hereabouts
.
I
say
,
Jack
,
how
does
it
happen
that
you
seem
to
be
up
to
everything
?
You
have
told
us
the
names
of
half-a-dozen
trees
already
,
and
yet
you
say
that
you
were
never
in
the
South
Seas
before
.
"
"
I
'm
not
up
to
everything
,
Peterkin
,
as
you
'll
find
out
ere
long
,
"
replied
Jack
with
a
smile
;
"
but
I
have
been
a
great
reader
of
books
of
travel
and
adventure
all
my
life
,
and
that
has
put
me
up
to
a
good
many
things
that
you
are
,
perhaps
,
not
acquainted
with
.
"
"
Oh
,
Jack
,
that
's
all
humbug
!
If
you
begin
to
lay
everything
to
the
credit
of
books
,
I
'll
quite
lose
my
opinion
of
you
,
"
cried
Peterkin
with
a
look
of
contempt
.
"
I
've
seen
a
lot
o
'
fellows
that
were
always
poring
over
books
,
and
when
they
came
to
try
to
do
anything
,
they
were
no
better
than
baboons
!
"
"
You
are
quite
right
,
"
retorted
Jack
;
"
and
I
have
seen
a
lot
of
fellows
,
who
never
looked
into
books
at
all
,
who
knew
nothing
about
anything
except
the
things
they
had
actually
seen
,
and
very
little
they
knew
even
about
these
.
Indeed
,
some
were
so
ignorant
that
they
did
not
know
that
cocoa-nuts
grew
on
cocoa-nut
trees
!
"
I
could
not
refrain
from
laughing
at
this
rebuke
,
for
there
was
much
truth
in
it
as
to
Peterkin
's
ignorance
.
"
Humph
!
maybe
you
're
right
,
"
answered
Peterkin
;
"
but
I
would
not
give
tuppence
for
a
man
of
books
if
he
had
nothing
else
in
him
.
"
