“I’ll never be able to do that,” Mick says.

“Don’t give up,” I tell him. “You gotta—”

Just then, we hear a tiny bug buzzing in the air. Then a bat comes flying across the room.

Gulp. The bat swallows the bug.

“Crikey!” Mick exclaims. “What did that bat just do?”

“I think he ate the bug,” I tell Mick.

“Bats eat bugs?” Mick asks me.

“I guess so,” I say.

“Well, that’s that,” Mick says. “This is not the right family for me. Just imagine how many of those little bities I’d need to eat to fill my tummy!”

I think bities must mean bugs.

Mick is right. The bats aren’t the right family for him. And this dark place with the hanging rocks isn’t the right home for him, either. Because home is where you can always fill your tummy.

Grumble, rumble.

That’s my tummy talking. And I know what it’s saying, because I talk tummy.

“Come on, Mick,” I say.

“Where are we going?” he asks me.

“I don’t know,” I admit. “But I sure hope wherever it is, there’s food. Because I’m hungry!”
