CHAPTER TWENTY
HENRY GETS SAVED BY
WORRAPS THE SPARROW
“
I
did,” whirred a little bird. “
I
said you’d get back,
Henry. I’m Worraps the Sparrow, your guiding friend.
Whenever a very little bird tells you something, you can
be sure it’s right. You’ll get back — just in time! just
trust what little Worraps the Sparrow says.”
“Well,” said Henry, “Poppa Pickle told me to trust
anything that starts with a P. Sparrow starts with an S,
and Worraps starts with a W, but there
is
a P near the
beginning and end!”
“Poppa Pickle didn’t know about
me
!” said
Worraps.
“Who
are
you?” asked Henry.
“Your guiding spirit,” chirped Worraps. “I’ve been
your constant companion since you left the house.
“You have?” said Henry. “I never noticed it!”
“I know,” said Worraps. “You were too busy
looking for
big
adventure. But I sat next to you on the
park bench and I went with you to the place where the
space trip began. Then I waited in the sky for you to
come down, and called Drice and Dreet to keep you
company, and twittered over you so Perry the Pelican
could find you and come to the rescue. Then I kept good
watch behind Perry and the Professor on the way back.”
