About this audiobook
Kipling’s classic tale taken from the Just So Stories. The whale likes to eat anything and everything in the sea, but when he attempts to swallow a shipwrecked mariner he finds himself outwitted. The mariner not only tricks the whale into giving him a free ride home, he also ensures that never again can he swallow anything larger than tiny plankton.
