Text Appearing Before Image:
. They even eat one another, at times. And ifnone was ever destroyed they would soon become so numerousthat they would clog the waters of the ocean, and leave noroom for the rest of us. So, after all, perhaps it is just as wellthey are thoughtless and foolish. Presently they came to some round balls that looked muchlike balloons in shape and were gaily colored. They floatedquietly in the water, and Trot inquired what they were. Balloonfish, answered Merla. They are helplesscreatures, but have little spikes all over them, so their enemiesdare not bite them for fear of getting pricked. Trot found the balloonfish quite interesting. They hadlittle dots of eyes and dots for mouths; but she could see nonoses, and their fins and tails were very small. They catch these fish in the South Sea Islands and makelanterns of em, said Capn Bill. They first skin em, andsew the skin up again to let it dry, and then they put candlesinside and the light shines through the dried skin. 90 Twins OONLTOOLORY
Text Appearing After Image:

We must prepare for dinner, as it will soon begin togrow dark in the water, continued their conductor. So theyswam leisurely back to the groves that surrounded the palaces,and as they entered the gardens the sun sank, and deepshadows began to form in the ocean depths.
