The Ear, the Eye, the Arm Chapter 33 Summary

  • The She Elephant buys the kids and Trashman some hot bread and tea while they wait on the street.
  • Tendai tries to eat, but he's not all that hungry anymore.
  • The Blue Monkey has arranged a buyer for the kids, and the She Elephant is taking them there now.
  • They climb up a creepy spiral staircase until they come to a room at the top.
  • Kuda likes when they see bats, but for the most part, he just claps his hands asking for Mama.
  • Tendai tries to get Trashman to help them escape, but it's of no use—the guy doesn't exactly plan.
  • The She Elephant grabs Kuda from Trashman, but he doesn't let go. Tendai worries they'll hurt his little brother, but instead, Kuda hits the She Elephant in the face.
  • She's so startled that she lets go of Kuda and gives him back to Trashman.
  • Someone unlocks a door and Tendai realizes who is buying them: the Masks. Gulp.
