Page 25 - carl leaves home

While Carl was sitting there on the wire and thinking about his two new friends,

a toucan glided down onto the telephone pole. He was a jolly type of fellow.

“Hello!” said the toucan, “My name is Ray Jay Toucan.”

“Hello! My name is Carl Pineapple,” replied Carl.

“May I inquire as to what you are doing here on a telephone wire, Carl?”

Ray Jay asked.

“Sure,” said Carl. “I like it here.”

“Oh,” said the brightly-beaked bird. “Where do you come from? I’ve not seen you

here before.”

“I’m new here. I came from the jungle just this morning,” answered Carl.

“I see,” said the feathery fowl.
