Instantly a most extraordinary thing happened. Each of he “mushrooms” suddenly turned upside.down. The little undles which had lain at the bottom of the stalks were eads and bodies. The stalks themselves were legs. But not wo legs to each body. Each body had a single thick leg right nder it （not to one side like the leg of a one.legged man） nd at the end of it， a single enormous foot.a broad.toed oot with the toes curling up a little so that it looked rather ke a small canoe. She saw in a moment why they had oked like mushrooms. They had been lying flat on their acks each with its single leg straight up in the air and its normous foot spread out above it. She learned afterwards hat this was their ordinary way of resting； for the foot kept ff both rain and sun， and for a Monopod to lie under its wn foot is almost as good as being in a tent.
“Oh， the funnies， the funnies，” cried Lucy， bursting into ughter. “Did you make them like that？”
“Yes， yes. I made the Duffers into Monopods，” said the agician. He too was laughing till the tears ran down his heeks. “But watch，” he added.
