But he had a queer, fluttery feeling inside him. The Bees were just as sure that the treasure was theirs. But the Dolphins took the shipwrecked people on their backs and swam with them to shore. Every Mouse I catch, I am going to eat! So he made a great show of looking anxiously about, as if in fear of some hidden enemy. Thus at one swoop he had caught both meat and fish for his dinner.
