7 He was too tired even to examine the line and he teetered on it as his delicate feet gripped it fast.
8 He put one of his feet on the fish and slit him quickly from the vent up to the tip of his lower jaw.
9 They were each over three feet long and when they swam fast they lashed their whole bodies like eels.
