FUN WITH SLIPKNOTS!
Hey kids! Tying slipknots is fun, and easy to do. Just get a piece of rope or string to tie your first one. Got it? Okay! Now, if you ever worked on a 19th century whaling ship, just tie it like you'd tie off your first harpoon so the whale doesn't dive and pull you down and drown you. There you go!

Next week Mr. Stubb shows us how to keep our tobacco pipes lit when we're out in the salty spray.
