Certainly

,

my

dear

,

"

cried

Peterkin

,

seizing

the

axe

.

"

What

part

will

you

have

?

A

leg

,

or

a

wing

,

or

a

piece

of

the

breast

--

which

?

"

"

A

hind

leg

,

if

you

please

,

"

answered

Jack

;

"

and

,

pray

,

be

so

good

as

to

include

the

tail

.

"

"

With

all

my

heart

,

"

said

Peterkin

,

exchanging

the

axe

for

his

hoop-iron

knife

,

with

which

he

cut

off

the

desired

portion

.

"

I

'm

only

too

glad

,

my

dear

boy

,

to

see

that

your

appetite

is

so

wholesale

,

and

there

's

no

chance

whatever

of

its

dwindling

down

into

retail

again

--

at

least

,

in

so

far

as

this

pig

is

concerned

.

Ralph

,

lad

,

why

do

n't

you

laugh

,

eh

?

"

he

added

,

turning

suddenly

to

me

with

a

severe

look

of

inquiry

.

"

Laugh

!

"

said

I.

"

What

at

,

Peterkin

?

Why

should

I

laugh

?

"

Both

Jack

and

Peterkin

answered

this

inquiry

by

themselves

laughing

so

immoderately

that

I

was

induced

to

believe

I

had

missed

noticing

some

good

joke

,

so

I

begged

that

it

might

be

explained

to

me

;

but

as

this

only

produced

repeated

roars

of

laughter

,

I

smiled

and

helped

myself

to

another

slice

of

plantain

.

"

Well

,

but

,

"

continued

Peterkin

,

"

I

was

talking

of

a

sail

tomorrow

.

Ca

n't

we

have

one

,

Jack

?

"

No

,

"

replied

Jack

,

"

we

ca

n't

have

a

sail

;

but

I

hope

we

shall

have

a

row

,

as

I

intend

to

work

hard

at

the

oars

this

afternoon

,

and

if

we

ca

n't

get

them

finished

by

sunset

,

we

'll

light

our

candle-nuts

,

and

turn

them

out

of

hands

before

we

turn

into

bed

.

"

"

Very

good

,

"

said

Peterkin

,

tossing

a

lump

of

pork

to

the

cat

,

who

received

it

with

a

mew

of

satisfaction

.

"

I

'll

help

you

,

if

I

can

.

"

"

Afterwards

,

"

continued

Jack

,

"

we

will

make

a

sail

out

of

the

cocoa-nut

cloth

,

and

rig

up

a

mast

;

and

then

we

shall

be

able

to

sail

to

some

of

the

other

islands

,

and

visit

our

old

friends

the

penguins

.
