Where do you come from? asked Tom.
gpt
And why are YOU so sick and sad?
human
I come from the warm Carolinas, and the sand-banks fringed with pines; where the great owl-rays leap and flap, like giant bats, upon the tide. But I wandered north and north, upon the treacherous warm gulf stream, till I met with the cold icebergs, afloat in the mid-ocean. So I got tangled among the icebergs, and chilled with the frozen breath. But the water babies helped me from among them, and set me free again. And now I am mending every day; but I am very sick and sad; and perhaps I shall never get home again to play with the owl-rays any more.

Oh! cried Tom.
human
And you have seen water babies! Have you seen any near here?
gpt
Yes; they helped me again last night, or I should have been eaten by a great black porpoise.
