I remember that whale problem! I feel like there's some specific actual trigger for making the whale show up but god knows. Do you have a feather?
I don't remember if you need a feather to trigger the whale's appearance, but you definitely need a feather to get out of the whale once it swallows you: "tickle uvula."

Right, which is why I wonder if they won't let you encounter the whale until you have the feather - rare case of them NOT letting you box yourself in...

Some wonderful person has posted a video with all of the digitized-speech sections from classic bad game COUNTDOWN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVPqvOOqjKg
I am eternally grateful.
