‘Then you will have to wait a long
time, said
the Bi-Coloured-
Python-Rock-Snake.
‘Some
people do not know what is good for
them.’
The Elephant’s Child
sat there
for three days waiting for his nose to
shrink. But it never grew any shorter,
and, besides, it made him squint.
For, O Best Beloved, you will see and
understand that
the Crocodile
had
pulled it out
into a really truly trunk same
as all Elephants have to-day.
