Night time. Icarus is plotting something with Joe the cormorant, who gives him a mysterious sack. The next morning Ripples wakes up and doesn’t see Jason and Polly. He asks Lucinda to give him a lift to the beach, but she refuses, saying she’s very busy. After swimming to the beach he finally finds his friends, who make up a load of strange excuses to refuse to play with him. Ripples walks away feeling bitter and continues to notice that whoever he meets treats him coldly. He sits down on a buoy, his spirits low, but Lucinda and other friends invite him to follow them to a grotto, where the rest of the gang has organized a big surprise party for his birthday—the reason for all the mystery. Jason takes a huge cake out of the mysterious sack and everybody eats cheerfully
