Wrongly Named Wrongly

They are now on the boardwalk, where there are views.

Wonderful view, says Perrot to Louisa.

Yes, says Louisa. 

Are we there yet? asks Terence.

Not yet, says Louisa. It's a natural rock arch. You can't miss it.

Terence starts running.

Alfonse follows.

Go with them, Claudine, says Perrot.

Okay dad, says Claudine. 

She races off after Terence, and her brother. 

She soon catches up. 

What's the big hurry? asks Claudine. It's not like a natural rock arch is going anywhere.

We want to see fur seals! says Terence. 

And whales, says Alfonse. 

Whales! You'll be lucky, says Claudine. 

They arrive at Admiral's Arch. It's true, you can't miss it.

The floor is smooth rock. Above, spiky stalactites frame the view, which is the sea and horizon.

No fur seals are visible.

Keep quiet and still, says Claudine.

Soon enough, a fur seal becomes visible.

And another, and another, enjoying the sun.

Terence heads down through the arch to the rocks.

He approaches a fur seal.

Have you seen me before? asks Terence.

The fur seal looks suspicious.

You haven't, says Terence. 

Silence from the fur seal.

I used to live on a palace, says Terence. There were all kinds of animals, but no fur seals. Now I know why.

The fur seal is intrigued now.

Why?

Your shape's way too easy, says Terence.  

Who ARE you? asks the fur seal.

Terence, says Terence. What's your name?

Wrongly, says the fur seal.

Wrongly, says Terence. That's a really weird name.

I was named Wrongly, says the fur seal. We all were.

You all have the same name? says Terence. 

He waves at a second Wrongly, nearby. Hey Wrongly!

The second Wrongly waves back at Terence, before flopping to a different position.

So it's true! All the fur seals are named Wrongly.

Alfonse and Claudine arrive.

Guess what! says Terence. They're all named Wrongly!

Alfonse believes him.

Claudine thinks there might be more to it.
