"You'll have to be very patient," said Polynesia. "It takes a
long time to say even a few words properly. But if you come here
often I'll give you a few lessons myself. And once you get
started you'll be surprised how fast you get on. It would indeed
be a good thing if you could learn. Because then you could do
some of the work for the Doctor--I mean the easier work, like
bandaging and giving pills. Yes, yes, that's a good idea of
mine. 'Twould be a great thing if the poor man could get some
help--and some rest. It is a scandal the way he works. I see no
reason why you shouldn't be able to help him a great deal-- That
is, if you are really interested in animals."
"Oh, I'd love that!" I cried. "Do you think the Doctor would
let me?"
"Certainly," said Polynesia--"as soon as you have learned
something about doctoring. I'll speak of it to him myself--Sh!
I hear him coming. Quick--bring his bacon back on to the table."
