THE STRANGELAND BIRD LIFE 
There Wasn't a Thing to Eat on the Iceberg 
fast. He had had no dinner and no supper, 
and here it was way late at night. There wasn’t 
a thing to eat on the iceberg, so what was he to 
do about that? 
Well, at last Mannie became more brave. 
“I might as well be caught at once by 
Killer Whale as to starve on this iceberg or be 
carried away to some strange land,” he said to 
himself, as he stumped stoutly up and down. 
“I just believe I am going to try to go 
home!” he exclaimed bravely, as he gathered in 
the corners of his bathing-suit and “splash” 
into the water he tumbled, and paddled bravely 
for shore.
