"'Twenty guineas—don't sell a blessed one under twenty guineas. You'll get it.'
"And sure enough, the dealer and a few of the richer townsfolk bought the whole lot at twenty guineas apiece.
"And when I went home that night I felt I had done a good day's work. For my friend's master, the one-legged beggar, was now rich enough to live in comfort for the rest of his life."
[CHAPTER VII]
TOO-TOO'S STORY
All the animals had now told a story except Too-Too, the owl, and the pushmi-pullyu. And the following night, a Friday, it was agreed that they should toss a coin (the Doctor's penny that had a hole through it) to see which of these two should tell a tale. If the penny came down heads it was to be the pushmi-pullyu, and if it came down tails it was to be Too-Too's turn.
The Doctor span the penny and it came down tails.
