Neither
would
I
,
"
said
Jack
;
"
but
that
's
no
reason
why
you
should
run
books
down
,
or
think
less
of
me
for
having
read
them
.
Suppose
,
now
,
Peterkin
,
that
you
wanted
to
build
a
ship
,
and
I
were
to
give
you
a
long
and
particular
account
of
the
way
to
do
it
,
would
not
that
be
very
useful
?
"
"
No
doubt
of
it
,
"
said
Peterkin
,
laughing
.
"
And
suppose
I
were
to
write
the
account
in
a
letter
instead
of
telling
you
in
words
,
would
that
be
less
useful
?
"
"
Well
--
no
,
perhaps
not
.
"
"
Well
,
suppose
I
were
to
print
it
and
send
it
to
you
in
the
form
of
a
book
,
would
it
not
be
as
good
and
useful
as
ever
?
"
"
Oh
,
bother
!
Jack
,
you
're
a
philosopher
,
and
that
's
worse
than
anything
!
"
cried
Peterkin
with
a
look
of
pretended
horror
.
"
Very
well
,
Peterkin
,
we
shall
see
,
"
returned
Jack
,
halting
under
the
shade
of
a
cocoa-nut
tree
.
"
You
said
you
were
thirsty
just
a
minute
ago
.
Now
jump
up
that
tree
and
bring
down
a
nut
--
not
a
ripe
one
;
bring
a
green
,
unripe
one
.
"
Peterkin
looked
surprised
,
but
seeing
that
Jack
was
in
earnest
,
he
obeyed
.
"
Now
cut
a
hole
in
it
with
your
penknife
and
clap
it
to
your
mouth
,
old
fellow
,
"
said
Jack
.
Peterkin
did
as
he
was
directed
,
and
we
both
burst
into
uncontrollable
laughter
at
the
changes
that
instantly
passed
over
his
expressive
countenance
.
No
sooner
had
he
put
the
nut
to
his
mouth
,
and
thrown
back
his
head
in
order
to
catch
what
came
out
of
it
,
than
his
eyes
opened
to
twice
their
ordinary
size
with
astonishment
,
while
his
throat
moved
vigorously
in
the
act
of
swallowing
.
Then
a
smile
and
a
look
of
intense
delight
overspread
his
face
,
except
,
indeed
,
the
mouth
,
which
,
being
firmly
fixed
to
the
hole
in
the
nut
,
could
not
take
part
in
the
expression
;
but
he
endeavoured
to
make
up
for
this
by
winking
at
us
excessively
with
his
right
eye
.
At
length
he
stopped
,
and
drawing
a
long
breath
,
exclaimed
:
