Gypsy asked Arna if she would fly to find Lucy. Then she looked at Reep.
Arna was just about to take off to find Lucy, when she too stopped to see what in Narnia Reepicheep was doing!
Looking upward, Arna realized what Reep was upset about: Islie's long giraffey neck was stuck in the rigging!
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.
-Emily Dickinson
"Oh!" Arna squeaked and flew up to perch by Reep. "How are we going to get her unstuck?" she asked.
"I suppose sinking the ship wouldn't help would it?" asked Tenny, looking thoughtful.
"Indeed I think it would," agreed everyone except the giraffe.
"We should ask Octy to help us cut a hole in the bottom of it." suggested the sensible Tooky.
"Very good idea!" exclaimed everyone, and Octy immediately agreed, took a knife the boat people dropped to him and went under the boat to cut a whole in it.
Gypsy watched Octy and the boat began to sink.
Suddenly, Arna realized that this wasn't a good idea. "Stop!" she squawked. "We're going to--" But then her voice was drowned out as...
The ship got lower to the bottom of the sea. Tenny set of fireworks in panic. They set the part of the ship where Islie's head was stuck on fire. But her magic occicones she kept the fire from touching her. She was now free and everyone helped her back to the shore.
"But the boat!" cried Reep.
"The boat was full of treasure!" Reep wailed. Arna whistled to Octy and he plunged in after the treasure (all of the merfolk helped too.)
"Don't you have another ship?" asked Gypsy.
"Well, what good would it do us now?" Reep asked.
"We could like, try again?" suggested Tooky. "With a bigger ship."
