(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Selçuk Demirel. Randolph, himself a collector, is curious about the mysterious collection kept by his family's new boarder, Mr. Karp. Eventually, Mr. Karp shows the boy his assortment of historical water samples and tells him fascinating tales about a collecting rivalry. The oddly endearing story, illustrated with occasional line drawings, is as unique as Mr. Karp's collection.
