TOMMY DISCOVERS OLD SEA 
SERPENT 
After Old Giant Whale disappeared under 
the water, Miss Specks and her brother 
Tommy and their friend Miss Puffin invented 
a new game. It was called “dive deeper 
than you can.” Miss Puffin couldn’t play 
it nearly as well as the other two, for they 
were the most skillful divers among all the 
families who had their homes on Happy 
Island. But she Was a cheerful body and 
did the best she could. She seemed to enjoy 
the sport quite as much as her friends.
