Now close your eyes and don’t stop until I tell you to. That was when I felt the blind fold being put around my head. All of a sudden my feet felt kind of damp, it must have been sprinkling a bit. Then I noticed that the sound was different. That was when I noticed the roaring sound in my ears. I shook my heard a bit, and that seemed to clear it up.
We kept on walking, with no one saying anything, but then I did agreed to this walk so we continued. I was half way across the floor of the Pacific, Ocean, before some one said: Hey, you can’t be walking down here and I started to say something and only bubbles came out of my mouth.
I yanked off the blind fold, and there were more than a thousand different kinds of sea creatures following me. Then I shot up wards and got my first breath of fresh air and a ship blew it’s horn, as it almost ran over me. It didn’t stop, it just kept going. It wasn’t long before it was out of sight. The dark of night came and went and I could hear people talking, I looked around and saw some people in a life boat.
I yelled at them, and no one responded, then a child yelled, Look there in the water, and a dozen people turned their heads and saw me. One of them said “Sorry” but we just don’t have any room, for you in this boat. You will just have to wait for the next one to come along.
Three days later, a whale surfaced and said: Good Morning, aren’t you kind of far away from shore to be swimming ? Oh No, said I, I am standing on land, Then the voice said: you better take another look! So I bent forward to look and there was nothing there. Then I started to sink, but the whale put it’s tail under me and lifted me up so I could crawl up on it’s back.
Then I said: I didn’t know that whales could talk and the voice said: they can’t. I am a man and my name is Jonas, and I am inside this whale. The whale won’t let me go! When I get close to his mouth, He will take a deep breath and that causes me to be sucked back toward his tail. Then I asked, why does he want to keep you in his belly? Because I tried to put a sharp harpoon into him!
Why would you do that, I asked? Oil my lad, whale oil is worth a lot of money! Well, how long have you been in there? Let me see, what day is this? I am not sure, but somewhere around twenty years now. How have you managed to live in there for so long ? Raw fish, my boy, raw fish that the whale swallows.
And what about the air that you need to breathe, “Oh, he gives me plenty of that!”, and I get a shower every time he opens his mouth to eat. I have been waiting for a ship to come along and catch this old boy, then when thy cut him open, they will find me and I will again be free. Well, have you seen any ships around? Oh yes, thousands of them, said Ahab. But none of them have been able to catch this old one.
Do you want me to help you get out this whale? Well, you see me lad, I have a couple of chests full of jewels and gold in here, and I wouldn’t want to leave them behind, How did they get in there ? This old boy saw them on the bottom of the sea and they looked like something good to eat, so he swallowed it, This guy is big, but not very bright, you know!

Do you want me to help you get out this whale? Well, you see me lad, I have a couple of chests full of jewels and gold in here, and I wouldn’t want to leave them behind, How did they get in there ? This old boy saw them on the bottom of the sea and they looked like something good to eat, so he swallowed it, This guy is big, but not very bright, you know!
I have heard some, call him Moby, “Moby Dick”! And what are you called? “ Me” I am called: Ahab. Well Ahab, how come you are inside this whale anyway? Because he sank me ship and caused me crew to drown .
Oh yeah, you tried to stick a sharp spear into him, didn’t you? Maybe I shouldn’t help you and just leave you in there! Well me Lad, I don’t think there is anyway for you to help me get out of here!
Tell me Ahab, is there any wood, or things in there that could burn? Yes, says Ahab. Now look up, do you see anything hanging down, something like a punching bag? Again Ahab says “Yes”, What happens if you hit it ? So Ahab hits it and says "Wow", he sure didn’t like that , did he?
Okay, I am working on a plan, but we have to wait until we are closer to land. Then a day came when the whale was feeding close to the shore of Australia. Ahab had to build a fire, than hit that thing that looked like a punching bag, several times and that made the whale sneeze, and out went Ahab, but with only one of the treasure chests. The chest sank to the bottom in shallow water, as Ahab swam to shore. When people first saw him, he looked like something coming out of the dark and they ran.
While Ahab was adjusting to being on land again, un-known to him, I was searching for the chest with jewels. Well, it took some time, but I found it, Now I wonder if I should tell Ahab or not! I was being careful, not to let the people know that I had money, but that kind of a secret can’t be kept for long, Once the word had gotten out, I was wishing I would have left the chest at the bottom of sea.
If I could find that old whale again, I would give it back to him. But old Ahab had done wrong he should be punished for what he did, "so" I gave the chest to Ahab and kept nothing for myself. Old Ahab has more misery to deal with now, than any other person I know.

He has three young and pretty wives and they are all, wanting to have fun and with anyone that is willing. Old Ahab only has one eye and one wooden peg, for a leg. He was so busy getting married, he never had time to get a divorce. And he can't see what two wives are doing when he is watching one. This story started with a woman wanting to go for a walk and it ends with three women wanting more that one can give.
There was several letters in Ahab’s mail box. One from the IRS, one from a law firm, about the legality of his marriages and separation, and one from the Immigration department about not declaring something valuable. I wonder what the IRS wants ?
As for myself, I have made my home on an Island in the south pacific and am really happy here. Moby "the Whale" come around now and then, to hear any news. I tell him about old Ahab and he almost dies laughing.
Sing to me girls, softly and sweet…Just as well take advantage of this while I am here.
