"He is?" the ogress said, brightening. "Sure! Do you know the way?"

"Not exactly. Just in a very general sense. But if you want to go
there too-"

"Yes! I I

"Then let's introduce ourselves. I'm Mela Merwoman.

I 'm looking for a husband."

"I'm Okra Ogress. I'm looking for my fortune. I want to be a Main
Character."

"A main character? Why?"

"Because nothing really bad ever happens to a main character, and a
whole lot of bad things are going to happen to me if I don't get away
from them."

"Now that's interesting! Do you mean I could get a good husband if I
became a main character?"

"Sure. Main characters always live happily ever after, so if you need a
husband to make you happy, then you'd get one."

"Well, Okra, I'm glad I met you! Let's get on across Lake Kiss-Mee, and
we'll see if we can find the Good Magician together."

"Lake what?"

"Kiss-Mee. Didn't you know?"

"But I was rowing on Lake Ogre-Chobee!"

"You must have rowed right up the river to Lake KissMee without knowing
it!" Only a very strong and stupid person could have done that, but that
made sense in this case.

"Okay." Okra hauled the red boat around and plopped it back into the
water. "I'll row. Maybe it will work better if you can tell me where
we're going."

"It should," Mela agreed, realizing that this was part of the ogress's
problem: she had not been able to look forward.

So they got into the boat, and Okra started to row. The boat fairly
leaped through the water with each heave. Mela looked ahead-and saw the
cloud, King Fracto, changing course to intercept them. "Urn, maybe we
should turn back and wait for Fracto to go away," she said.
