I lived first in a little house,
And lived there very well;
I thought the world was small and round,
And made of pale blue shell.

I lived next in a little nest,
Nor needed any other;
I thought the world was made of straw,
And brooded by my mother.

One day I fluttered from the nest
To see what I could find.

I have been very blind.”

At length I flew beyond the tree,
Quite fit for grown-up labours.
I don’t know how the world is made,
And neither do my neighbours!

All along the beach, there were radiantly colored seashells that the waves had polished so that they sparkled and shone in the sunlight. Thomas stared in amazement. He had never seen anything like it. He stepped barefoot over the sand, trying not to crush the seashells as he danced between them.
