A whimsical fragment from a children's rhyme describes a bird drawn by The Nonsense Duck. A narrator claims the bird may be half cut, wonders if it is a goose or swan, and notes the bird’s neck and eyes as curious details.
An ancient story recounts Ekandem, daughter of a lord, snatched to wed the King of the Skulls. She longs for home as two maids wail, fearing the powerful ruler and the strange green world. Ekandem searches among bushes and trees, hearing distant calls of the Plantain Eater.
A fragment recalls a character named The Truly Pigeon, described as an aerial aard bird able to fly high. The narrator references ducks, pigeons, and a humorous exchange about dad laughing, with ambiguous dialogue about the bird’s nature and name.
The fragment features a dialogue with Miss Olsun and Miss Hert discussing age and honesty. The lines suggest playful banter about truthfulness and aging without delivering a clear narrative or event.
A playful quip from Johnny Teck answers a riddle about how many pets are in a peck. The exchange centers on wordplay with a mischievous tone and a quick joke about counts.
A brief coastal scene describes waves colliding across the day and night. The writer notes an earnest struggle between the waves and wonders which will prevail when music lulls the scene to rest. The rhythm imitates the sea's motion as tides and wind shape the shore.
A fragmentary exchange describes a driver who was very fast on the road. One speaker notes the pace and quick gear changes, while another recalls the abrupt manner and speed of the vehicle. The dialogue hints at an incident or pursuit without full details.
In a chaotic tale a pet monkey named Jinks vanishes from a city home and is boarded on a train by George while Beth and Ekandem chase a wayward pet. The conductor ejects the animal, Beth fears grandmother's anger, and a later letter reveals Jinks stayed away briefly before returning home. The girls then encounter the magical Nkundak and a plantain eater guiding them to a fantastic realm.
A fragmented dialogue features Billy and Mary debating bear coats and trade. They discuss bears’ lives, hibernation, and what humans eat, alongside a winding aside with the Lord of the Earth and a painter, in a surreal classroom-like scene.
