Milo began to think as hard as he could (which was very
difficult, since he wasn't used to it). He thought of birds
that swim and fish that fly. He thought of yesterday's
lunch and tomorrow's dinner. He thought of words that
began with J and numbers that end in 3. And, as he
thought, the wheels began to turn.
"We're moving, we're moving," he shouted happily
"Keep thinking," scolded the watchdog.

"i don't know," he said. "did you leave it in your mouth? it's the only place i can think of that's big enough." keyn laughed; something got stuck in his throat half way, and he coughed for breath. "i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."
