Flipper's New Adventure Page #3

as you can.

Quickly.

Oh, my babies!

Quickly!

Won't be long now.

Hurry!

I can't!

A ring, look.

Here.

Hold on.

Hold on now.

Hang onto it.

Hang onto the ring.

Gwen! Are you all right?

Penny, are you all right?

Yes!

Thanks to this.

Where did you

get it from?

It must have been

in the boat all along.

Oh, mummy, what are we

going to do now?

No food, no water.

Nothing.

Marooned here.

What will happen

to daddy?

It'll be all right.

Somehow, it'll

be all right.

Good work, Flipper,

but I guess we both

better get out of sight

before they start

looking around.

See ya later.

Morning, Flipper.

I'm going down to see

how our visitors are doing.

Follow me down the beach.

Penny!

Come down at once

before you fall down

and break something!

Oh, but, mummy,

we're all so hungry.

We've got to reach

those coconuts.

Well, maybe we could

cut the tree down.

There must be

millions of things

we can find

in there to eat.

Well, yes, there are,

but there are also

millions of things

that are very poisonous

and none of us knows

which is which.

I'm sorry,

but I can't run the risk

of your getting ill here.

We'll just have

to catch fish

or look for turtle eggs

or something like that.

But how, mummy?

I don't know.

We can try.

I'd like to help them,

Flipper,

but they just can't

know i'm here.

Now, Penny,

you try to fish,

and, Gwen, look along

the beach over there.

See if you

can find something.

Sometimes things

are washed up.

I'll look over there

among the trees.

That's a super idea,

mummy.

Take this to her, Flipper.

And be sure

she doesn't see you.

Flying fish!

Take this to her, Flipper,

and stay out of sight.

Mummy!

Mummy!

But, mummy, they

must be flying fish.

They flew

right up at me.

Penny, they're

not flying fish.

They're a fish

called Grunion.

At a certain

time of the year

when the moon

is right,

they swim up

on the beach.

Well,

I don't see any moon!

Children, I don't care

what kind of fish they are.

I'm just glad we have them.

See? I told you Providence

would take care of us.

Can't I try it, mummy?

Oh, Penny, you'll

only get in the way.

I'll just go on

a bit longer.

Flipper, they just

can't do anything right.

Come on. I'm going

to need you again.

Oh, I'm sorry.

All I'm getting

is blisters.

Well, we'll just have

to eat this fish raw.

Oh, no!

Gwen, in the far east,

millions of people

eat it every day.

With a little lemon juice,

it's quite good.

But we don't

have any lemons.

Well, we must eat!

It's that monster.

Well, never mind.

It won't come on land.

Come on. We must eat.

Mummy, matches!

Dry ones!

I swear they weren't there

10 minutes ago!
