23-INTERESTING, SHMINTERESTING!

INTERESTING, SHMINTERESTING! Together we carried the amphora up to our boat. "Did you find gold?" Scamper Skipper Paws squeaked. "Did you find jewels?" Benjamin cried. "Did you find my lace hanky? I accidentally dropped it overboard," Aunt Sweetfur added. We laid the amphora on the deck. "Sorry, we didn't find anything," I said. "Except for this old clay jar. It's called an amphora. It's not made of gold or precious jewels, but it is sort of interesting." Trap rolled his eyes. "INTERESTING, SHMINTERESTING!" he groaned, "Oh,

Germeister, how did you get to be such a dim bulb? You can't write a book about a sunken ship without a treasure." I chewed my whiskers. Was my cousin right? Would my next book turn out to be a flop? Just then, Benjamin walked over to the amphora. "Do you know what's inside this thing, Uncle?" he asked.
