coiled up his trunk and said, ‘
How do you do?’
They were very glad
to see him, and immediately said,
‘Come here and be spanked for
your ‘satiable curtiosity.’

‘I don’t think you peoples
know anything about spanking; but
I do, and I’ll show you.’
Then he
uncurled his trunk and
knocked two of his
dear brothers head
over heels.
