ChapterUncle Edward’s dreamMy name is Whiffy, and I belong to the Washnot tribe. One morning, Mum asked me to take some snake pudding to my uncle Edward-Lascaux. He lived nearby with my cousins from the Washalot tribe. He was my mum’s younger brother, and she was always worried about him. He spent all his time inventing strange objects, and he often forgot to eat.15

He always said, “What’s the point of having a brain if all you think about is your belly?” It made a change from my dad, Reeky, the chief of our tribe, who always said, “The purpose of a brain is to work out how to fill your belly, right?”I found Uncle Edward in front of his hut. He had built it some distance away from the Washalot camp because he did not want to be disturbed while he was inventing things. He was staring at the Mountains-at-the-edge-of-the-world that blocked off one end of our valley.66

* Scientific name for the human species.I asked him,“What are you thinking about, uncle Edward?”He replied as if he was talking to the trees.“I really want to find out what is beyond the Mountains-at-the-edge-of-the-world. Nobody has ever explored those territories. I want to see them with my own eyes.”My first thought was, “My uncle has lost his mind.” Those mountains were way too high for a Homo sapiens* to explore. He would be frozen before he even got to the top. And also, apparently, there were ice monsters wandering around up there… 77

When I talked to him about it, Uncle Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, in an irritated voice,“Those are just stories that Goatee Beard, the wizard, tells to scare us and make us stay in our valley and obey him. And because he claims he knows everything, he would hate it if someone discovered things he doesn’t know about…”I was not convinced. I said,“Those mountains are very high! How would you climb them?”8

Uncle Edward smiled and, with a mysterious look on his face, he said to me,“I won’t be climbing them…”“Really?” I replied. “So how will you be able to see what is beyond them?”He leaned over towards me and whispered in my ear,“By flying, like a bird.”I burst out laughing.“Ha ha ha! Are you going to cover yourself in feathers? You will look like a big duck, but you won’t be able to fly!”99

Uncle Edward stood up and started running around me, flapping his arms like a bird flapping its wings. He joked,“Whiffy, if you make fun of me, I’m not sure I will want to take you up into the sky with me…”What?! Was I dreaming? Was Uncle Edward planning on taking me with him over the mountains?He came and stood next to me and said,“Actually, I need your help!”1010

My uncle explained in great detail how he was going to get over the mountains. He had designed a kind of flying basket attached by some creepers to four large vultures. They would fly us up into the sky! I couldn’t get over it.1111

Whiffy’s uncle, Edward, wants to go exploring. He has invented a flying basket to carry them both over the mountains… ChapterVulture huntI asked Uncle Edward,“You want to get in a basket pulled by vultures? Isn’t that a bit risky?”I thought to myself, “Risky… but how cool?!” My uncle was amazing. He had already invented a flint cutter and a trap for catching ants. But this time, he had excelled himself! The most challenging thing about this invention would be catching the vultures. 212

Uncle Edward told me,“Whiffy, I am not a good hunter. I can’t even keep up with a snail in a race. So I was thinking, maybe you could help me catch the four vultures?”My uncle was exaggerating about the snails. He just preferred making things to chasing after animals. But I could definitely help him. While Uncle Edward made his basket, I would go and find four large, strong vultures!21313

But how would I do that? Those monster birds nested on the cliffs. If I tried to get near their nests, they would catch me and feed me to their chicks. Or they might push me over the edge! Eeek! Too dangerous. I would have to attract them down to the ground instead. But they only landed on the ground to find food… And I knew that vultures adored rotten meat… that was it! I had a plan!1414

* Wild mountain goat.In the Washalot cave, I found a pile of creepers and an old moth-eaten animal skin. I rolled it up under my arm and walked towards the foot of the cliff. I wrapped myself in the fur and lay on the ground to look like a dead ibex*. The smell of the animal skin made me feel sick, but I had to stay completely still...1515

The first visitor soon arrived. My eyes were half-closed but suddenly, I made out a shadow circling in the sky just above me. Then I heard a blood-curdling squawk.“Heeeeeeeeek!”It was a vulture! I watched it circling slowly down… The closer it got to the ground, the more enormous it seemed. Then it landed right beside me. I held my breath but I could not control my heart that was thumping in my chest. Would the vulture find it strange that a dead ibex was shaking so much?16

I watched its huge clawed feet walking around me. I had to stay away from those… Then I leapt onto the bird’s back and, before it realised what was happening, I tied it up with a creeper.“Heeeeeeek!”17

It struggled, but it was wasting its time because Reeky, my dad, had taught me to tie very sturdy knots. The silly old vulture’s wings were pressed against its body, and it didn’t know what to do. It tried to peck me with its beak, but I managed to pull it over to a tree and tie it up firmly. One down!Then I lay back down at the foot of the cliff under my stinking fur. And that is how I managed to catch the three other birds.18

A while later, I went back to find Uncle Edward, proudly pulling my flock of vultures behind me. I felt like a mother duck being followed by her ducklings, except that my ‘babies’ were bigger than me and were giving me angry looks. “Well done, Whiffy!” said my uncle. “I have just finished the basket.”I thought his basket looked great. It was made of branches and leaves plaited more tightly than my friend Pink-Shrimp’s hair. 1919

ChapterWhiffy finds a smelly animal skin and uses it to catch four vultures. Meanwhile, her uncle makes a pretty basket.RhinoroarusSuddenly, Goatee Beard the wizard popped out from behind a bush, all out of breath. He shouted,“Aha! Edward-Lascaux, I knew I would find you here! I see you are making things and wasting your time, as usual. And what are you doing with those vultures, Whiffy? Don’t you know that all the tribes in the valley are on high alert?”320

The tribes on high alert? What on earth was going on? Goatee Beard shook his stick at my uncle and shouted,“A Rhinoroarus is spreading panic in the camps! We need all our hunters so we can get rid of it! ”A Rhinoroarus in the valley? It sounded dangerous! I tied up the vultures and said,“I’m going to find my dad Reeky and the Washnots!”32121

But Goatee Beard stopped me with his stick and thundered,“No way, Whiffy! You will stay here with the Washalots. You are too young for hunting.”I was livid. Since when was I too young to chase off a rhinoroarus? Uncle Edward was not happy either. He said,“But Goatee Beard, I am not a hunter! I am an inventor.”Goatee Beard said in an irritated voice,“Oh, really? And what is that… thing you are inventing, may I ask?”22

Uncle Edward explained that it wasn’t a ‘thing’. It was a basket for flying over the Mountains-at-the-edge-of-the-world. But to Goatee Beard, going over the mountains sounded like madness. He warned,“If you try to cross those mountains, the spirits in the sky will get very angry and they will cause disasters in the valley. Maybe they sent the rhinoroarus because they saw you making this cursed invention. They do not want you to go and disturb them.”2323

Then Goatee Beard softened a little and tried to reason with my uncle.“Mountains are high so that we don’t climb them. If they wanted us to climb them, they would be flat…”Then he said,“Listen, Edward, if you want an adventure then hurry up and join our hunters and help them to get rid of the rhinoroarus.”Then the wizard disappeared through the bushes, muttering to himself. 2424

Me, Whiffy, too young for hunting? I was very cross. Well, they would have to do without me! My uncle was upset so I tried to reassure him.“Uncle Edward, don’t let Goatee Beard intimidate you. Reeky and the Washnots will deal with the rhinoroarus. They are good at that kind of thing. But they won’t be able to help with your invention. Come on! Let’s finish your super flyer!”“You are right,” said my uncle. “If we don’t go and see what is on the other side of the mountains, nobody will do it.”2525

So we tied the creepers to the edge of the basket. Then we looped a creeper around each vulture’s neck so we could steer them. We climbed on board Uncle Edward’s incredible invention. He was delighted.“Ready to fly, Whiffy?”I quickly undid the ropes knotted around the vultures’ wings and said,“Ready!”And off we went!2626

A rhinoroarus is scaring the tribes in the valley! But Whiffy and her uncle Edward carry on with their plan. They climb into their flying basket…ChapterUp and away! WOAH! As soon as the four vultures were free, they took off into the air, squawking,“Heeeek!”Uncle Edward held on tight to the creepers to guide the birds. But the basket was moving so much that he fell to the bottom and let go of everything. With each wingbeat, we were thrown around in every direction, and we kept bumping into each other.427

The worst thing was that each vulture was flying in a different direction, trying to escape. The Mountains-at-the-edge-of-the-world were still just as far away, and we were flying higher and higher, spinning around in the sunshine. I yelled,“Uncle Edward, you need to take control of the vultures!”He groaned, “I’d love to, Whiffy, but I’m all tangled up…”My uncle’s feet and arms were caught up in the creepers. 28

Where would we be by the time he untangled himself? Also, the vultures were now all flying in the same direction, away from the mountains and towards the valley. We were speeding past trees far below us. Giraffes and mammoths were galloping in every direction, terrified by the strange sight of our flying basket above them.2929

Then suddenly, I spotted something right in front of us. It was a Homo sapiens running and being chased by the enormous rhinoroarus! I realised it was Goatee Beard. The only hunters I could see who could have defended our wizard were too far away from him. If we did not act, Goatee Beard would be trampled by the rhinoroarus…3030

I shouted,“Uncle, I will take over the controls!”My uncle was sitting at the bottom of the basket, looking sick. He murmured,“Do what you want, Whiffy. I think I’m about to vomit.”So I decided to take a risk and try to save our wizard. I climbed up and perched on the edge of the basket and I grabbed the creepers that were attached to the vultures.3131

Just at that moment, I spotted the rhinoroarus catching up with Goatee Beard. Our wizard leapt like a gazelle towards the river. I could see he was going as fast as his legs would carry him. Poor thing! If I didn’t get there in time to save him, he would be crushed like a cockroach before he reached the water. I had to be quick!3232

Whiffy and her uncle are in their flying basket. They spot the wizard being chased by the rhinoroarus. He needs help! Whiffy takes control…ChapterMad chaseI hung on to the creepers and leaned over to make the vultures fly towards the rhinoroarus. But we were losing altitude fast. The ground was coming closer, and a few seconds later, we were flying right over the animal’s two huge horns.533

I could feel the long prairie grass tickling the soles of my feet. I was dangling like a spider from its thread, right in front of the rhino’s nose. I had never noticed that those beasts had such huge nostrils! I could hear Uncle Edward retching. He was still feeling sick. He could not see what was happening from the bottom of the basket, so he shouted,“Whiffy! What are you doing?”3434

3535

The vultures suddenly changed direction. They flew past the rhinoroarus and Goatee Beard who was wading through the mud at the edge of the river. So for a moment, the rhinoroarus decided to forget about Goatee Beard, who was stuck in the mud, and to follow me as I was wriggling around, in front of its nose. There was nothing I could do except cling on to the creepers with all my strength! At least Goatee Beard was safe, for the moment.3636

The birds were beginning to get tired. The rhinoroarus was so close to me that I could smell its breath! But because it was keeping its angry eyes on me, it had not realised that we were heading straight for the river again. This was my chance. I had to hang on tight for a little longer…3737

Suddenly, I felt my feet dipping in the cool water and, behind me, I heard a loud ‘Splash!’. The rhinoroarus had run straight into the river. It snorted as if it had just woken up. I almost felt sorry for the beast. Then, it swam clumsily towards a floating tree trunk and clung on to it as best it could. The current carried it downstream. By the time the huge animal managed to get back onto the river bank, it would be far away from us. 3838

Then the vultures did a U-turn and pulled our flying basket back towards Goatee Beard who was just coming out of the swamp. They made a sudden landing. When the basket hit the ground, it exploded in a cloud of feathers that rose up around our wizard, then settled on his muddy body. From under the heap of creepers, Uncle Edward gave me a worried look.“Is everything ok, Whiffy?”3939

After a high-speed chase with the rhinoroarus, Whiffy leads the monster into the river and then makes a crash landing… Phew!Chapter6Glory at last! The Washnot hunters had been watching our adventure from a distance. They joined us, whooping and shouting. My dad, Reeky, gave me a big hug and his beard scratched my neck. It felt like I was cuddling a porcupine. He was thrilled.“We saw it all, Whiffy! You saved Goatee Beard with that amazing flying basket! I am so proud of you! Was it you who trained those vultures?”40

6I nodded proudly as I set the four birds free. They flew away, zigzagging across the sky, still looking dazed.Mildew, my mother, caught me and lifted me up onto her shoulders. She said in a loud voice,“Look, everyone! This is my daughter Whiffy. She managed to make four giant vultures obey her! Isn’t she fantastic?”My mother always exaggerates. The vultures were not giants; they were only slightly bigger than me. But it was true that I had made it all happen. 4141

Suddenly, I remembered that my uncle was still buried under the remains of the basket. I helped him to pull himself out. I said,“But you know, none of this would have been possible without the amazing flying basket invented by Uncle Edward.”All the Washnots cheered my uncle. He blushed like a little boy.42

Goatee Beard came over and began telling us off.“Yeah, well… You may have saved our tribes from danger. But Edward, I hope you have realised that there is no point trying to get over the Mountains-at-the-edge-of-the-world. You can see that there are enough dangers already in the valley.”43

Reeky gave Goatee Beard a big pat on the back.“Enough of your preaching, you old grouch! We know Edward has some… interesting ideas.”Then he turned to look at my uncle.“… But a flying basket… now that is amazing! Well done, my dear brother-in-law!”I agreed with Dad. Uncle Edward was the most intelligent of us all because he invented new things all the time!4444

Reeky asked my uncle,“Will you take me up in your basket?”“Me too!” said my mother Mildew.Then all the Washnots and all the Washalots raised their hands and shouted,“How about me?”“Me too!”“We all want to go up in the sky in Edward’s flying invention!”4545

He thundered,“Silence! I am your wizard. I will be the first to fly up into the clouds so that I can ask the spirits to protect our valley. Edward will take me up there when he has found a better way of steering his flying basket… won’t you, Edward?”I winked at my uncle. Cheeky old Goatee Beard… He was always one step ahead!4646
