CHAPTER NINE Fighting Swans<br>After lunch, a gentle wind pushed us up the river past Wargrave and Shiplake. We got out of the boat at Sonning and walked around the village. Sonning is a lovely village. Everything is clean and beautiful. Each house is covered with roses. We decided to return to one of the Shiplake islands to spend the night.<br>George said, 'Let's have a special supper tonight. Let's make an Irish stew. We can put everything into one big pan.'<br>'What a wonderful idea!' Harris and I said.<br>'I'll get the wood and make a fire,' George said. 'You two can peel the potatoes.'<br>This was a very big job. We were happy and excited. But when we peeled our first potato, we understood that this was not exciting - it was hard work. The first potato we peeled looked like a pea.<br>George looked at it and said, 'No, no, no! There's no potato left. Do it like this.'<br>We worked hard for half an hour, but we peeled only four potatoes. We refused to continue.<br>'Well, just put the potatoes in without peeling them. Let's add some carrots and other vegetables. Look in the hampers and take out all the pieces of old food. We'll put them in the stew. You can put anything in a stew.'<br>We found half a pork pie, a tin of fish and a few broken eggs. We added these to the stew. Montmorency watched us carefully and then left. After a while, he returned with a dead rat in his mouth. He wanted to add something to the stew, too. We discussed it first.<br>Harris said, 'It's all right to add the dead rat. It will be mixed with the other things. A stew needs many ingredients.'<br>George said, 'Well, I don't want to try anything new. Maybe next time. I'm sorry, Montmorency.'<br>Harris said, 'If you never try anything new, you'll never discover things. It's men like you, George, who slow down the progress of our world.'<br>George didn't listen to Harris.<br>The stew was a great success. It was delicious - excellent in every way. We all really enjoyed it.
