Uncle Billy then pointed his long arm toward the east.
"Away, way over there," he said.
"My, but the world's an awfully big place," declared Jerry, "and to think my doll, Togo Sen, has crossed an ocean and I've never even seen one."

"It's been a beautiful surprise, Uncle Billy, I'll never forget it," said Jerry.
