Tatlow The Sailor - Part Ten by J.M.Okano

     Tatlow and Saskia, with Sponsible and Honesty, were climbing up the hill when they saw another doll.  They stopped to talk to him and found out his name was Marcel and that he was a clarinetist and was travelling around the world too.  He told them a good place to busk and they all went there together.  They busked for hours outside a restaurant and made a little money, so they went into a restaurant to have a bite to eat.
     "May I take your order?"  asked the waiter when the three dolls had sat down.
     "A bowl of porridge between the three of us, with three bowls please," ordered Tatlow.  Funds were very low.
     That was good porridge they all agreed dejectedly when they had finished eating.
     They scooped up the remains of it and took it back to their motel room for breakfast, it was that good.  But the monkey ate it during the night and there was nothing for breakfast.  When they left their motel room, their cow Sponsible had gone missing.  They searched all over town, their stomachs grumbling, asking,
     "Have you seen our cow?"  but nobody had seen her.   Finally they found her at an animal shelter.  She was fine and very glad to see them.
