Pinkie Whiskers opened the door and walked right in, just as the family
was eating supper.
Mother Gray screamed and ran to kiss her son. Father Gray, Winkle,
Twinkle and Uncle Whiskers stood by and waited for their turn.
"Now, children, let Pinkie Whiskers eat his supper before you ask him
any questions. The poor little fellow must be very, very hungry after
his long journey."
Pinkie Whiskers ate and ate, then he told them all about the good
Water-Fairy, who was a friend of the Tree-Fairy and how she had asked
the Water-Fairy to help him.
Winkle, Twinkle and Billy Jay were so amazed by Pinkie Whiskers' story
that they stood and stared at him with big eyes.
Uncle Whiskers shook himself and said, "There now, Mother Gray, didn't I
tell you not to worry about Pinkie Whiskers?"
"And, yes," cried Pinkie Whiskers, "you said perhaps I might write a
book and I have already started one. So you see that you are always
right, Uncle Whiskers."
