Dr. Dolittle and the animals walked back into King Jolliginki's land.
They hoped to get back to the sea and find a way to return home.
"We must be very quiet," Polynesia whispered.
"If King Jolliginki hears us, he will send out the guards again."
Everyone was hungry and tired.
Gub-Gub could not stop crying.
"I'll find some food for you," said Chee-Chee.
He jumped into a tree.
"Some coconuts?" Gub-Gub sniffed.
While Chee-Chee went off to look for food, Polynesia led the group.
After a while, they got lost.
"I'm sure it's this way," Polynesia said.
"We just came from there," complained Dab-Dab.
"Oh, where is Chee-Chee?
I'm so hungry," cried Gub-Gub.
"Be QUIET!" everyone yelled at the pig.
Everyone felt like giving up.
"Wait! Look over there!" Gub-Gub pointed excitedly.
In front of them were fruit trees.
Polynesia shook her head.
"I don't think it's that way."
"But we're so hungry!" cried the animals.
So they ran toward the trees.
"At last! Food!" shouted Gub-Gub.
Unfortunately, they had made a big mistake.
They had walked right into King Jolliginki's garden!
"This time you will not escape!" one guard said.
Dr. Dolittle and the animals were taken away.
But Polynesia escaped once again.
Meanwhile, Chee-Chee was very upset.
"Where are they?" he wondered.
He looked and looked.
But it was no use.
He could not find his friends.
Dr. Dolittle stood before King Jolliginki again.
"Please, I must get back to Puddleby," the doctor explained.
The king laughed unkindly.
"You are going nowhere!"
"Please, you must let me . . ."
Dr. Dolittle tried to speak but the king got angry.
"Take him to the dungeon!" he roared.
Finally, Chee-Chee found Polynesia.
She explained what had happened.
"The jungle is your home!
How can you get lost?" he scolded.
"Ssh!" Polynesia whispered.
Below them a young man walked by.
He sat down under a tree.
"Who cares if I am a prince?" the man said.
"That must be King Jolliginki's son!" Chee-Chee whispered.
The prince took his hat off.
Sighing, he said, "I would do anything to have hair!"
Polynesia began to blink very fast.
This meant she was thinking.
"Chee-Chee! I have a plan!" Polynesia said.
She told him her idea.
"You're crazy! It's too dangerous!"
Chee-Chee refused to help.
But in the end, the monkey agreed to help.
Chee-Chee and Polynesia hid behind the leaves.
"Prince of Jolliginki," Polynesia used a woman's voice.
"Who's there?" the prince mumbled.
"I am your fairy godmother," Polynesia said.
"My fairy godmother?" the prince repeated.
"I'll give you one wish," Polynesia said.
The prince could not believe it.
"Anything I want?" he asked again.
"Yes," she answered.
"I wish I had hair!"
The prince closed his eyes.
Polynesia's plan was working!
"Find Dr. Dolittle. He has a magic bottle," Polynesia told the smiling prince.
"Where is he?" the prince asked.
"In your father's dungeon.
You must go tonight, after dark."
With that, the fairy godmother disappeared.
