"Look at that whale, Mattie!" Alfie cried, pointing into the pond in their back yard. "It's huge!"
Mattie giggled. "That's just Mr. Fish, Alfie; he's a goldfish."
"No, he's a whale and I'm Cap'n Ahab!" Alfie jumped up and stuck his toes into the pond, baiting Mr. Fish to come and nibble them.
"Oh no!" Mattie cried. "Don't let the whale get you, Alfie!" He tried to pull his brother back from the water, but it was too late! The whale had already got to Alfie.
"Oh, that dastardly fiend!" Alfie cried, swinging his arms and trying not to giggle as Mr. Fish nibbled at his toes. "I'll get that whale for taking my leg! I swear it!"
Mr. Fish got bored of Alfie's toes and swam away to investigate some algae at the bottom of the pond. Alfie took his toes out and Mattie pulled him away from the water.
"That was a close one, Alfie."
"Too close, Mattie. But I'm hungry now. Let's go get some lunch. I bet Artie made some mac'n'cheese!"
The two brothers raced inside then, trying not to get eaten by the giant space monster chasing them around the yard.
