Tatlow The Sailor - Part Twenty-Eight by J.M.Okano

     Tatlow was, meanwhile, face-to-face with his arch-enemy, The Big Scrounger.  The Big Scrounger came up to Tatlow on deck, while the latter was playing accordion and singing away.
     "Give me your accordion," said the Scrounger.
     Tatlow, being an obliging fellow, handed the accordion over to him, thinking he might want to try it out.
     The Scrounger rushed to the side of the boat and threw it overboard.
      "Now you don't have an accordion," he said.
