In this chapter, the young narrator is in a very strange situation. He is in the middle of a conversation with his brother , who has just arrived in the U.S. He does not know where he is, but he does know that he has arrived in a tree hollow. He asks where his brother is, and when he learns that he is from a distant planet, he tries to impress the others with his eloquent speech. He tells them that they do not pose a threat to their home, and that they are looking forward to becoming friends with them. The young narrator then realizes that his sense of foreboding is coming back. He realizes that the whole group has turned into food, and he is afraid that the young man is going to bite him. He also realizes that this is the 37th Prince, and his highness makes him a dangerous species.
