The head policeman said, ''May I see your receipt, please?'' Klough, the eldest, handed over the receipt to the officer. ''Says here you bought twelve and a half cases of FepGerkins. Mind if we take a look inside these here cases?''

87.

Klough agreed to let the police search the cases. When these were opened the police of course found the priceless shorts. The brothers were stunned, to say the least; their hearts sank, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, ''What's up with that?''

88.

So the police escourted the sons of Feh back to Klee's house. The brothers thought they were done for, but when Klee saw them he invited them in and fed them delicious snacks prepared with FepGerkins, of course.

89.

While they were eating (after having thrown up at least twice each) Klee had their cases of FepGerkins filled with the finest FepShoelaces, such as only the Emperor's family would wear. After dinner, Klee released his brothers (who still did not recognize him) to go on their way home.

While they were sleeping, he had their cases of FepGerkins filled with hewminallinterfatch (which is a lot like a food). In the morning, after breakfast, Klee released his brothers (who still did not recognize him) to go on their way home.

91.

But Klau, the smartest brother, said, ''Before we go, I'd like to look in these cases of FepGerkins.'' When he opened one up, of course he found the hewminallinterfatch. He exclaimed, ''What is up with that?'' Klee knew he had to let his brothers in on his little deception. Klee said, ''I'm Klee!'' And the brothers responded. ''Who?''

92.

Then Klee took the cotton balls out of his cheeks and told them the whole story. He said, ''It goes like this:

When I came out to the Plains of Choppen to check up on you, you grabbed me and sewed me and my fine shorts to the back of a FwaBull. Then you traded me and the FwaBull to some Choppenpops for some stewed pods...''

94.

Klee's brothers went back to Fwah Ah and returned to Fep with their father, Feh, who lived there for only a few years until Quater eventually smote him with a bolt of energy.

95.

In all, the Feh family lived in Fep 410 years. Klee, having become ruler of all the land of Fep, was compelled by his people to change his name to Fay Nee, which means, ''Most of which still do not agree.'' Fay Nee begat Fay Nee. Who begat Wah Nee. Who begat Acker, who looked nothing like his father, Wah Nee, but nonetheless, managed to create Ehp.
