没过多久，他们望见了远方的陆地。驶近后一看，原来是座小岛，岛中央全是水，四周被陆地环绕着。小岛和一些向外延伸并逐渐消失的峡谷接壤，每条峡谷都有一股巨大的水流从中间穿越而过。这景象真的太美了。岛中央还孤零零地耸起一棵树，足有503英尺高。
他们登上岛，四处望，岛上居然啥都没有，除了遍地的牛肉饼和巧克力糖块。他们又爬上那棵孤零零的大树，想看看有没有人，可他们在树顶待了一星期，连个人影都没见着。因此他们断定此地没有居民。于是他们下了树，拾起成千上万的牛肉饼和巧克力糖块，装了满满一船。这些东西他们吃了整整一个多月，在这一个多月里，他们一路向前，时而兴奋，时而无聊。

接着，他们又驶近另一个海岸，那儿有六十五只红色大鹦鹉，他们都长着蓝尾巴，排成一排站在栏杆上，睡得正香。不过，我很难过地告诉大家，小猫咪和“狂怪王”呀，他俩蹑手蹑脚爬过去，把那六十五只鹦鹉尾巴上的羽毛全咬掉啦。薇兰为此狠狠责备了他俩。
