The stem of the balloon to which he clung had turned to a strong stiff leg, while the balloon itself had expanded into a plump, green, balloon bird. It careened through the air without any motion of wings or body and for a while, Peter, hanging to its leg, was too frightened to open his mouth.” (p. 69)
. . .
“ “Let go if you want to,” said the bird carelessly. “You’re holding on to me aren’t you?” This was only too true, and after one dizzy look downward, Peter tightened his clutch on the balloon bird’s leg.” (p. 71)
