The Gumbles were delighted to be released, though there was no chance of escape with the Bottersnikes so worked up — besides Chip-Chip had to be rescued somehow and returned to his nest. With the Bottersnikes in their present mood Chip-Chip was in dreadful danger. Glag’s house was being bashed and kicked because it was so far from perfect, and after a loud protest from Glob and Snorg the covered cage slipped from its hook and fell. Toot and Jolligumble ran to it, dragged it inside the house to save it being trampled. ‘Chip-Chip, are you all right?’

‘Well, it was a bit of a bump,’ said a familiar voice, a squeaky one. ‘They might have warned me.’

‘Willigumble! — is that you?’ they cried, astonished. ‘How did you get in there — and what have you done to yourself?’ For Willi had done his best to change himself into a bird. He had squeezed his nose into a sort of beak, stuck feathers round his middle and made flappers from his arms, something like a penguin’s. ‘I always wanted to be a lyrebird, didn’t I?’ Willie said a trifle sadly. ‘I can’t dance well enough to be a proper one but as a chick I’m good enough to fool Glag and Smiggles.’
