Poi fece un'apertura nel lato dell'hisupper, formatosi per se stesso una bocca e uno stomaco, spingeva fuori un'intera fila di tastatori, andcominciò a prendere qualsiasi bocconcino di cibo a modo suo. Aveva molti modi strani, ma il più strano di tutti era il suo raccogliere littlebits di calcare dall'acqua e costruirli intorno a lui, come una persona fa wlio costruire bene. ^294 TERZO LETTORE Ma questo piccolo Favosite, per questo era il suo nome, divenne un solitario sul fondo di quel oldoceo ; così una notte, quando era veloce asleepand dreami
