There was a man who built a whale out of wood. He built it in the middle of a field out in the dry country, where nobody bothered him but birds and a couple of farm cats. The whale was white, and it took two years to build. He made it out of planks from old barns, which he stole in the night. He didn\u2019t steal them from anyone who\u2019d miss them. Most people were gone. There were a lot of things falling down. | 2015 by Maria Dahvana Headley. | Art \xa9 2015 by Reiko Murakami. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
