"Splendid!" cried the Doctor. "Polynesia, you have a great brain. I'll set him to work at once and see what happens."

"Maybe the tiger broke open the cocoanut for you," said Bumpo, as he rubbed his hurt nose. "No, the tiger is not there," said Mrs. Monkey. "You may all go down and see how Mappo opened the cocoanut."
