Chapter 17

FROM A DEEP SHADOW inside the stinky thing’s turtle shell, Tad watched humans tromp back and forth carrying things that smelled like home. The fragrance of carrots, potatoes, thyme, and damp earth made him so homesick he shriveled up to almost nothing. As the humans went in and out of the giant turtle shell, they made noises to each other. Their noise wasn’t as pretty as birdsong, but better than squirrel jabber or dog talk.

Before long, the turtle shell went dark—so dark he could not see his own hands. Then something rumbled beneath his belly. The stinky thing was waking up and starting to move. Tad crouched, still as stone.

Where was the roaring stinky thing going?

After a while, Tad crept over the trembling bottom. Through a crack in the shell, he saw great snakes of light, the white snakes chasing him, the red snakes racing away from him. Shapes flashed by in the rain. Everything was covered.
