That is the way all Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snakes always talk.




So he pulled, and the Elephants Child pulled, and the Crocodile pulled; but the Elephants Child and the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake pulled hardest; and at last the Crocodile let go of the Elephants Childs nose with a plop that you could hear all up and down the Limpopo.

 

Then the Elephants Child sat down most hard and sudden ( ); but first he was careful to say Thank you to the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake ( = ---); and next he was kind to his poor pulled nose ( = ), and wrapped it all up in cool banana leaves ( ), and hung it in the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo to cool ( - , //).

What are you doing that for ( )? said the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake ( ---).

Scuse me ( //), said the Elephants Child ( ), but my nose is badly out of shape ( = ; out of shape : ), and I am waiting for it to shrink ( , ; to shrink / /, , , ).

Scuse me, said the Elephants Child, but my nose is badly out of shape, and I am waiting for it to shrink.

 

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 Elephants Child sat there for three days ( ) waiting for his nose to shrink (, ). But it never grew any shorter ( ; to grow , ), and, besides, it made him squint ( , : .).

At the end of the third day a fly came and stung him on the shoulder ( ; to sting ), and before he knew what he was doing ( , ) he lifted up his trunk and hit that fly dead with the end of it ( = ; to hit ).

Vantage number one ( ; advantage )! said the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake ( ---). You couldnt have done that with a mere-smear nose ( // = ; mere , ; smear , ). Try and eat a little now ( ).

Before he thought what he was doing the Elephants Child put out his trunk and plucked a large bundle of grass ( = , , // ), dusted it clean against his fore-legs ( ; to dust , ), and stuffed it into his own mouth ( ; to stuff , , , , ).
