46983	You think it is too much?
46983	_ Iravata, did you really do it?_I replied by winking my eyes and flapping my ears.
46983	_ Is it true? 46983 ( For, what says the Sage? 46983 Alone as I was against twenty Elephants-- what could I do?... 46983 And what is your Majesty without me? 46983 And where is the Crane? 46983 And, had I not been indeed ungrateful, to leave her as I did, because of a wicked jealousy?... 46983 Are you not fatigued by my weight?
46983	As I was never to see Parvati again-- never return to my lost paradise-- why should I prolong my sufferings?

46983	They all gathered around the Crane and cried:"Friend, is there no way of saving our lives?"

46983	Why should we allow him to come among us?"
46983	Why were all these honours showered upon me?
46983	Why were they so glad to see me?
46983	Will you not save my life along with the rest?"

21599	And will you take care of me, so the tiger wo n''t get me?

21599	Do n''t I get paid for it?
21599	Do n''t you wish we were back in the jungle, near some river, where we could wade in and float until the sun went down?

21599	I wonder who it can be?
21599	If I tell you, will you come with me? 21599 Is it not better to get away, and be hungry for a little while, than to stay here shut up in a cage all your life?"

21599	Say, Tum Tum,said Maggo,"was that his lemonade we drank?"
21599	So the tricks are to begin soon, are they? 21599 So we are not to try to break from the trap?"
21599	So you are going to get away to- night, are you? 21599 So you came to see the circus?"
21599	Then was it your trunk that you picked me up in?
21599	Then we are to come out of our cages to- night?
21599	Tum Tum, did you and Maggo do that?

21599	What is a circus?
21599	What is it you want to say?
21599	What is it you want to tell me, Sharp Tooth?
21599	What is it? 21599 What is the matter, Tum Tum?"
21599	What is the matter?
21599	What is the matter?
21599	What of it, silly?
21599	What will happen to us, when the ship stops sailing?
21599	What''s that?
21599	Where are we, and where are we going?
21599	Where did you go a little while ago?
21599	Where?
21599	Who are you, and what are you biting me for?
21599	Who''s that calling?

21599	Why were you afraid?
21599	Why would he do that?
21599	Why?
21599	Will that be harder?
21599	Would he?
21599	And about the others?"
21599	And how do you think Tum Tum did it?
21599	But is he as strong as two elephants?"

21599	Have we time to eat?"
21599	How do you like lemons?"
21599	I wonder what kind I shall do, and whether I shall like them or not?"
21599	Is that so?"
21599	It is very useful, is n''t it?"
21599	Let me see, how can I stop you?"
21599	Now shall we put the chains on you-- I and my tame brothers-- or will you be quiet-- you and the others?"
21599	Page 41]"Caught in a net, eh?"
21599	So it is you, eh?"
21599	What are those?"
21599	What are you doing?

21599	cried a little boy,"could n''t we ride on the elephant''s back?"
21599	exclaimed Whoo- ee,"you do n''t want to be caught in a trap, do you?"
5900	And can you remember so far back, when you were a baby in the jungle?
5900	And did she let you?
5900	And did you do it?
5900	And did you do it?
5900	And did you do your tricks in the circus?
5900	And did you ever get out?
5900	And did you?
5900	And may we eat?
5900	And so this is the circus, is it?
5900	And why do Tusker and the other big elephants look so scared?
5900	And will I ride men on my head?
5900	Are these the same hunters from whom we ran before?
5900	Are we going too fast for you?
5900	Are we in danger now?
5900	Are we listening to your story, Chako, or to Umboo''s?
5900	Are you going to help us, Umboo?
5900	Are you going to help us?
5900	But did Tusker see the hunters with their guns?
5900	But did you get seasick?
5900	But do n''t you remember, Umboo, you promised to tell us a story of how you lived in a jungle when you were a baby elephant?
5900	But how am I going to get them out? 5900 But what is that funny noise?"
5900	But why did you go away from the herd?
5900	But you never did; did you?
5900	Ca n''t we ever get out of the trap?
5900	Ca n''t we ever get out?
5900	Ca n''t we get out?
5900	Can we wait here another day or two?
5900	Can you do it?
5900	Can you keep up with us?
5900	Can you reach up with your trunk and pull down the nuts?
5900	Children do ride on the backs of elephants in India, the country where you and I came from, do n''t they, Umboo?
5900	Did I go down? 5900 Did he ride on an elephant''s back?"
5900	Did n''t any of you smell the hunter coming?
5900	Did n''t you smell him and get out of the way?
5900	Did she let you fall?
5900	Did she let you, Umboo?
5900	Did the hunter get any of you?
5900	Did the snake bite you?
5900	Did they have circuses as long ago as that?
5900	Did you ever get out of the trap, Umboo?
5900	Did you ever knock down a palm tree?
5900	Did you go down?
5900	Did you like the circus?
5900	Did you see a herd of elephants?
5900	Did your mother let you?
5900	Do you know where my mother is?
5900	Do you see Keedah over there, scraping his toe nails on a big stone?
5900	Do you think any of us will be shot?
5900	Do you want to have some fun?
5900	Does any circus animal know any other kind of stories?
5900	Does that mean it is all right, and that we can stop to rest?
5900	He laughs, does he? 5900 How can one make the best of it when it is so hot?"
5900	How did you know I was looking for my mother?
5900	How did you know my name was Umboo?
5900	How do you know he got out?
5900	How do you know?
5900	How does it feel to be shot?
5900	How would you like to hear one about the hot, sandy desert?
5900	How would you think you might get them out?
5900	I guess the only way to get the nuts is to break down the tree; but how can I do that?
5900	I wonder if I can?
5900	I wonder if he will do that handkerchief trick again? 5900 I wonder what it can be?"
5900	I wonder what it is this time?
5900	I wonder why I am afraid of the man?
5900	Is New York a jungle?
5900	Is it all right to go there where the fence is?
5900	Is it something good to eat, like a cocoanut?
5900	Is n''t he here with us now?
5900	Is that you, Mother? 5900 Is the salt good, Mother?"
5900	Is there any one else who can tell a story?
5900	Is this all I have to learn?
5900	Is this the salt spring, Mother?
5900	Is this your story, or Umboo''s?
5900	Is yours in a book?
5900	May I have some of the palm nuts, Umboo?
5900	More trouble?
5900	New York a jungle? 5900 Now do you all want to hear me talk?"
5900	Now who is talking?
5900	Oh, ca n''t you keep quiet?
5900	Oh, did she let you fall?
5900	Oh, so you heard the elephants, did you?
5900	Oh, what is it?
5900	Oh, where am I going?
5900	Oh, where are you going?
5900	Oh, will we ever get out of this, and have sweet bark and palm nuts to eat again?
5900	Our chance for what?
5900	Poor Jumbo?
5900	Say, are we going to listen to you animals talk or hear the story Umboo is going to tell us?
5900	Then what did she lift you up for?
5900	Tired? 5900 Was a hunter coming with a gun?"
5900	Was it fun?
5900	Was it this circus of ours which you were first taken to, Umboo?
5900	Well, are we going to stay here all day?
5900	Well, are you strong enough to walk along now?
5900	Well, if we ca n''t get out, what are we going to do?
5900	Well,said Mrs. Stumptail,"how do you think you can get them?"
5900	Were n''t you dreadfully scared, Umboo, when you found out you were lost in the jungle?
5900	Were you ever shot?
5900	Were you once living in the jungle, as I was?
5900	Were you very little?
5900	What about him?
5900	What are peanuts?
5900	What are we going to do when we get on the other side of the river?
5900	What are you doing that for?
5900	What are you doing?
5900	What are you going to do?
5900	What are you going to do?
5900	What are you stopping for?
5900	What are your tusks for?
5900	What can he do, except squirt water on us?
5900	What can we do?
5900	What did she want to do that for?
5900	What did you come away from the jungle for, if you do n''t like it in this circus?
5900	What do you call that big, black thing, whose breath steams out of the top of his head, as mine sometimes comes out of my trunk on a cold morning? 5900 What does he want?"
5900	What doing?
5900	What for?
5900	What funny part is that?
5900	What happened after that?

5900	Why must we hide?
5900	Why not?
5900	Why?
5900	Will they shoot us?
5900	Will you give us water to drink?
5900	Wo n''t we ever see him again, or hear more of his story?
5900	You?
5900	And they sleep standing up-- did you know that?
5900	But is that all your story, Umboo?"
5900	But then if you do n''t ask questions how are you ever going to find out anything?
