He asked his broad aunt, the Hippopotamus, why her eyes were red, and his broad aunt, the Hippopotamus, spanked him with her broad, broad hoof and he asked his hairy uncle, the Baboon, why melons tasted ! just so, and his hairy uncle, the Baboon, spanked him with his hairy, hairy paw. He asked his tall uncle, the Giraffe, what made his skin spotty, and his tall uncle, the Giraffe, spanked him with his hard, hard hoof. He asked his tall aunt, the Ostrich, why her tail-feathers grew just so, and his tall aunt the Ostrich spanked him with her hard, hard, claw. And he lived in Africa, and he filled all Africa with his 'satiable curiosities. But there was one Elephant-a new Elephant-an Elephant's Child-who was full of 'satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side but he couldn't pick up things with it. In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. ![]()
