"It must be exciting to be on the water," she
said, "to see faraway places and ride the waves."
"That it is," agreed Albi. "Many's the time I went fishing
with the captain and his son. Sometimes the fog was so thick that I couldn't
see my paws. When we pulled in the nets they were full of fish, more fish
than you could eat in a year."
Trudy tried to imagine that many fish.
"Once, Mrs. Gardini gave me a can of sardines," she said. "That
was the most fish I've ever seen."
"What a landlubber you are," laughed Albi. "You haven't
seen much of the world, have you?"
Trudy thought of the comfortable, cheery apartment she shared with Mrs.
Gardini.
"No, " she said truthfully, "but I see many things from
my window."
Albi's eyes twinkled. "From a window! Trudy, life is to be lived,
not seen from a distance."
