Chapter 21

'Why, it's absolutely brilliant!' cried the Old-Green-Grasshopper when James had explained his plan.

'The boy's a genius!' the Centipede announced. 'Now I can keep my boots on after all.'

'Oh, I shall be pecked to death!' wailed the poor Earthworm.

'Of course you won't.'

'I will, I know I will! And I won't even be able to see them coming at me because I have no eyes!'

James went over and put an arm gently round the Earthworm's shoulders. 'I won't let them touch you,' he said. 'I promise I won't. But we've got to hurry! Look down there!'

There were more sharks than ever now around the peach. The water was boiling with them. There must have been ninety or a hundred at least. And to the travellers up on top, it certainly seemed as though the peach were sinking lower and lower into the water.

'Action stations!' James shouted. 'Jump to it! There's not a moment to lose!' He was the captain now, and everyone knew it. They would do whatever he told them.
