The People - Part Seven

     The fish was dead and the five restless characters ate it for supper.  The fish hadn't done anything wrong, but God gave us fish to eat and when a fish is dead, you can eat it.
      The twins opened the fourth door and found a cookery course is fifteen volumes, a set of golf clubs, an Italian garden, a television set which turned into a bed when you jumped upon it (the twins tried), and a raging river.
     Mamquiso cooked them a meal the next day while the others played golf and wandered through the Italian garden and then the twins slept in the bed, while the others slept on the floor.
      The raging river was very small, and looked the right size to fit into Mags' box, if he packed it intelligently.  The twins were just about to open the fifth door, but before they did, the raging river started to grow and was soon up to the characters' knees and gushed down the hall, through the room with the filing cabinets and all the way to the bleachers.  The twins struggled over to the fifth door and opened it and out fell a canoe.  They all jumped in, just as the river rose to waist level, and swept them through a door, down a flight of stairs, and along a corridor.  Otters were swimming alongside them.
