Once upon a time there was an Ift called Snutt.
![Page 7: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

![Page 9: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Like all Ifts, Snutt was an explorer. Unlike all Ifts, Snutt was a dreamer . . .
![Page 10: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
and for this reason Snutt travelled further, and more hopefully, than any other Ift.
![Page 11: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

One day, Snutt found a wonderful planet.
![Page 13: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

A very wonderful planet, with fields of cheerful tuffetills and delighted blossiblums,
![Page 16: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
euphoric florifors and sticky-footed flewimols –too flappy to make the usual notes,
![Page 17: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
too big to take the usual measurements,
![Page 19: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

![Page 21: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Suddenly and strangely, and a long, long way from home, Snutt felt very, very lonely.
too wonderful for the head of a lone Ift.
![Page 24: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
because Snutt had no oneto share them with.
All the brilliant butterflings and fancy flewimols might as well
have been dull grey dustmouts,
![Page 26: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
But this was, as has already been said, a wonderful planet so,
![Page 27: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
unsurprisingly there were also astonishing coincidences . . .
![Page 28: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
For Snutt was not the only explorer far from home. There was also a Waft, lost for words and suddenly lonely.
![Page 30: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Ift and the Waft walked in almost the samedirection through the waving whishgrass.
They oooed . . .
![Page 32: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
and they aahhed in almost the same way.
![Page 33: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
They listened and they watched.
![Page 34: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
And after they had found the very last amazing new thing . . .
![Page 35: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
they looked at each other.
![Page 36: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Snutt did what all Ifts do when they are very, very happy . . .
![Page 37: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
which was surprising . . .
![Page 38: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
but . . .
![Page 40: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

wonderful too . . .
![Page 42: Snutt the Ift](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042523/568c35c11a28ab023595770a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

like the universe and everything in it.
