This was pretty difficalt. Actually, I almost didn't put it out for you guys to read. Enjoy! Or read and not enjoy, it's your choice.


What is a Steam Boat?

"The Dwarves really out did themselves, with the making of The Dawn Treader," said Caspian, " They made everything from the mast to the smallest nail with great love and care."

"What? This hole of a ship? This old thing is nothing compared to The Queen Mary," boasted Eustace.

"The Queen Mary?" asked Caspian politely.

"*Good Chocolate Cookies! You've never heard of The Queen Mary?" exclaimed Eustace.

"Of course they have never heard of The Queen Mary," explained an annoyed Edmund , "They have never been to our world be for."

Paying no attention to what Edmund had said Eustace went on to boast and said: "The Queen Mary is only the finest steam ship on the waters!"

"A what-ship?" asked an inquisitive Caspian.

"Oh, don't get him started!" cried an irritated Edmund.

Again not paying attention to his (at this point) extremely annoyed and irritated cousin, Eustace started to explain to Caspian what a steam ship was.

"A steam ship. Honestly, have you never heard of one? A steam ship is run by a steam pump—"

"A steam pump?"

"Yes, it's just a cylinder that has a pump in it that goes up and down with the force of the atmosphere and steam from the water boiling underneath it. From this up and down motion this pump makes a weal go round in the water that is like a bunch of oars rowing the boat."

Everyone stood there in silence for a minute or two, and then kindly Caspian said, "…. Oh…. how interesting. Now where were we….? Aw, yes, the Dwarves-"

* That was ariganally good Lord even though I'm a Christian and C. S. Lewis is too he put that stuff in there, so I figured "Hey! he did it why can't I?" so I didn't mean to anger any of you. I'm sorry if I did.
