` Now I see ! You want my Mummy 's living-address ? Of course I ca n't write , but I can draw pictures if I 've anything sharp to scratch with . Please lend me the shark 's tooth off your necklace . ' The Stranger-man -LRB- and he was a Tewara -RRB- did n't say anything , So Taffy put up her little hand and pulled at the beautiful bead and seed and shark-tooth necklace round his neck . The Stranger-man -LRB- and he was a Tewara -RRB- thought , ` This is a very , very , very wonderful child . The shark 's tooth on my necklace is a magic shark 's tooth , and I was always told that if anybody touched it without my leave they would immediately swell up or burst , but this child does n't swell up or burst , and that important Chief , Man-who-attends-strictly-to-his-business , who has not yet taken any notice of me at all , does n't seem to be afraid that she will swell up or burst . I had better be more polite . ' So he gave Taffy the shark 's tooth , and she lay down flat on her tummy with her legs in the air , like some people on the drawing-room floor when they want to draw pictures , and she said , ` Now I 'll draw you some beautiful pictures ! You can look over my shoulder , but you must n't joggle . First I 'll draw Daddy fishing . It is n't very like him ; but Mummy will know , because I 've drawn his spear all broken . Well , now I 'll draw the other spear that he wants , the black-handled spear . It looks as if it was sticking in Daddy 's back , but that 's because the shark 's tooth slipped and this piece of bark is n't big enough . That 's the spear I want you to fetch ; so I 'll draw a picture of me myself ` splaining to you . My hair does n't stand up like I 've drawn , but it 's easier to draw that way . Now I 'll draw you . I think you 're very nice really , but I ca n't make you pretty in the picture , so you must n't be ` fended . Are you ` fended ? ' The Stranger-man -LRB- and he was a Tewara -RRB- smiled .
He thought , ` There must be a big battle going to be fought somewhere , and this extraordinary child , who takes my magic XXXXX 's tooth but who does not swell up or burst , is telling me to call all the great Chief 's tribe to help him .
