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




 

Then the Elephants Child sat back on his little haunches ( ; haunch , ; //, / . ./), and pulled, and pulled, and pulled ( , , ), and his nose began to stretch ( ). And the Crocodile floundered into the water ( , / /; to flounder , ; ), making it all creamy with great sweeps of his tail ( : = ), and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled ( // , , ).

And the Elephants Childs nose kept on stretching ( ; to keep doing smth. -); and the Elephants Child spread all his little four legs and pulled, and pulled, and pulled ( , , ; to spread (); (); (); ()), and his nose kept on stretching ( ); and the Crocodile threshed his tail like an oar ( , ), and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled ( , , ), and at each pull the Elephants Childs nose grew longer and longer ( ; to grow ; ) and it hurt him hijjus[64] ( )!

Then the Elephants Child sat back on his little haunches, and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and his nose began to stretch. And the Crocodile floundered into the water, making it all creamy with great sweeps of his tail, and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled.

And the Elephants Childs nose kept on stretching; and the Elephants Child spread all his little four legs and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and his nose kept on stretching; and the Crocodile threshed his tail like an oar, and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and at each pull the Elephants Childs nose grew longer and longer and it hurt him hijjus!

 

Then the Elephants Child felt his legs slipping ( , ), and he said through his nose ( // ; through ), which was now nearly five feet long ( [65]), This is too butch for be[66] ( // )!

Then the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake came down from the bank ( --- ), and knotted himself in a double-clove-hitch round the Elephants Childs hind legs ( ), and said ( ), Rash and inexperienced traveller ( ), we will now seriously devote ourselves to a little high tension ( = -; tension ; , ; , , ), because if we do not ( ), it is my impression that yonder self-propelling man-of-war with the armour-plated upper deck ( , ) (and by this, O Best Beloved, he meant the Crocodile ( , , )), will permanently vitiate your future career ( ).

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 ( = ).
