Description

Danny McGee goes to the seaside with his sister and makes a bet that he can drink the sea all up!
And he does. He drinks it all through a straw. And then he eats a tree, and then he eats a cat drinking some tea, and then he eats a man learning to ski . . . And so it goes on, until the only thing that is left on the planet is Danny McGee and his little sister . . . And she has a surprise for him!
