In this clever and gently mischievous origin story, Kipling introduces listeners to a greedy Whale, a resourceful mariner armed with nothing but a raft, a cooking-stove, and a truly clever plan, and the beginning of a rule that all whales have followed ever since.

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.

This is a story from the Just So Stories collection.
