I began walking up the long, skinny gangplank which made its way to the top of the giant ship. It heard legends of ships bigger than cities, but this was the first time Id actually seen a ship that size. I suppose it had to be that big, in order to support a crew of sixty-foot giants like the one Id seen moments earlier. Uncle Quigley walked directly behind me.
A loud voice came from a black box at the top of the plank. ALL LITTLES WILL CONTINUE MARCHING AT A CONSTANT PACE UP THE COCK WALK TO THEIR DESIGNATED AREAS, it said. Now, of course I knew what the word cock meant, but I didnt quite understand why this walk was called the Cock Walk.
Not paying attention, I bumped into the man in front of me, who had stopped because the line had backed up.
Hey, whats the hold-up? I shouted. Several other littles in line had begun to shout too. After a few moments, the line continued moving again.
