is a tail, and the other is their trunk, or long nose, by which they
pick up peanuts, and other things to eat, and they can drink water
through it, too."
"Oh, elephants, eh!" exclaimed Squinty. "But who is that big,
fierce-looking one, with two long teeth sticking out. I would be afraid
of him."
"Ha! Ha! You wouldn't need to be," said Mappo, with a merry laugh. "That
is Tum-Tum, the jolliest elephant in the whole circus. Why, he is so
kind he wouldn't hurt a fly, and he is so happy that every one loves
him. He is always playing jokes."
"Well, I'm glad he is so jolly," spoke Squinty, as he watched Tum-Tum
and the other elephants march slowly along the road on their big feet,
like wash tubs, swinging their long trunks.
Then Mappo the monkey, and Squinty, the comical pig, started off through
the woods.

woods," said Mappo, the monkey, after he and the little pig had wandered
on for some time.
