51434 | A_ live_ elephant? 51434 Compost heap?" |
51434 | Did you know that there are two kinds of elephants on Earth, the African and the Indian, and that they are n''t exactly the same size? |
51434 | If you put the elephant on one side and his food on the other, there would n''t be any off- balanced load, would there? |
51434 | It all started just a few standard months ago, on Condor-- over in Sector Sixty- four W."Sixty- four W? |
51434 | Mind if I join you? |
51434 | So what did you do? |
51434 | You did say that you carried the elephant, did n''t you? |
51434 | You say you carried an_ elephant_? |
51434 | Yours? |
51434 | But why-- and how-- would anyone take an elephant into space?" |
51434 | Did I tell you that she was mighty clever?" |
51434 | In a_ space ship_?" |
51434 | Like a father, you know? |
51434 | Or was it poetic justice that I had in mind? |
46983 | ''I?--Sell an elephant sent to me by the Gods... who perhaps is a God himself?... 46983 And I-- poor Mahout-- what am I without the noble elephant whom I attend? |
46983 | And then,inquired Alemguir,"who rescued her?" |
46983 | Crawfish,replied the Crane,"what makes you think that there is another Lake? |
46983 | Friend,said the Crawfish,"it was with me that you had your first friendly conversation-- why do you leave me behind, and take the others? |
46983 | Has anything happened? 46983 How did you learn this?" |
46983 | King- Magnanimous,said he,"ought we to rejoice-- or ought we to weep? |
46983 | Oh, Holy Man,said Parvati,"the history of Harisarman is not finished; and who knows what may have happened to him afterwards? |
46983 | Oh, Holy Man,said she,"is it possible that you live all alone in the depths of this forest? |
46983 | Oh, Holy Man,said she:"why do you despise life? |
46983 | So much for the punishment of the Guilty; but how to recompense worthily the Rescuer? |
46983 | The Prince has never seen me, and I am not acquainted with him; how can there be anything like friendship between us? 46983 What are you doing? |
46983 | What have you to say, Milord? 46983 What is there extraordinary about us? |
46983 | What is this? 46983 Which of you has been good?" |
46983 | Why is it that they consider us so important? |
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 | At some distance it stopped, and a feeble, and somewhat tremulous voice called:"Who is it that is moaning? |
46983 | But after all, was it not men who had set me the example of ferocity? |
46983 | But how could I eat when he was suffering the pangs of hunger? |
46983 | But is it then on account of envy that the gray elephants dislike us?" |
46983 | But why rebel? |
46983 | But, tell me, is there not one of your gods whom you represent with the head of an elephant?" |
46983 | Can it be he who has waked me up, poking me with his trunk?--does he mean to hurt me, I wonder?" |
46983 | Can it be this elephant? |
46983 | Deliver my Master? |
46983 | Did she ever remember me?... |
46983 | Elephant?" |
46983 | Had I then sunk to the level of a selfish brute-- a being without reflection-- a mere elephant? |
46983 | Had she forgotten me? |
46983 | How can such learning be possessed by one who has never studied the holy texts? |
46983 | How happens it that his cries are like those of a man?" |
46983 | How is it that you are free?" |
46983 | How shall I endure the continual anguish of knowing you exposed to wounds and death? |
46983 | How then would it be with strangers? |
46983 | How to seize them without their being able to give the alarm?... |
46983 | How was I to obtain succour for the Princess, whom I could now barely see, as she lay motionless on the ground? |
46983 | How would it do to engage both the elephant and his master?" |
46983 | I could see him off there, at Bangok, saying so gravely to me,"Ought we to rejoice, or weep?" |
46983 | I gathered here and there a few half- dead leaves, or a bunch of thin grass-- but what could they do to sustain me? |
46983 | I had been so long unused to being alone that I could not endure it.... A companionship here offered itself.... What would it be like?... |
46983 | I thought constantly of my old life, wondering what had become of the lovely Parvati; did the Prince love her?... |
46983 | I thought,"What would Parvati say if she could see me? |
46983 | I went near, and looking closely, I saw that it was a man.... Was he dead?--or only asleep?... |
46983 | Is a new life for us a good, or an evil thing? |
46983 | Is it true?_"cried she. |
46983 | Kill these two men? |
46983 | King- Magnanimous,_ ought we to weep or rejoice_?" |
46983 | My play seemed to interest him, and he called one of the workmen on the wharf, and inquired:"Do you know who is the owner of that elephant?" |
46983 | Oldham?" |
46983 | Once thou wert free and happy, but now, how wilt thou escape?'' |
46983 | Or was he grieving silently over the loss of his liberty, and his life? |
46983 | Or, if she thought of me, must she not accuse me of ingratitude? |
46983 | She recognized them as the remains of the Fishes, and asked the Crane:"Friend, how much further is this Lake? |
46983 | Should one dread change, or should one welcome it? |
46983 | Sthuladatta sent for Harisarman, and said:"''Canst thou tell me where to look for the lost horse?'' |
46983 | The five minutes being ended, Mr. Hardwick turned to me and asked:"''Will you agree to form, with your elephant, a part of our Troupe?'' |
46983 | They all gathered around the Crane and cried:"Friend, is there no way of saving our lives?" |
46983 | Was he sleeping, the dear Prince, worn out with fatigue? |
46983 | Was she happy?... |
46983 | We must lose no time; do you not see that a storm is impending? |
46983 | What was to be done? |
46983 | What was to become of me? |
46983 | What''s that?" |
46983 | When she was married she would have a Court of her own, and a whole Palace to organize and direct-- and what would become of me? |
46983 | When the Crawfish heard this she said:"Friend, what is the reason for this renunciation of all appetite?" |
46983 | Who is it that disturbs the quiet of the forest by these cries? |
46983 | Whose elephant is this? |
46983 | Why did I not think of returning to the Palace of Golconda, where very likely my absence had not yet been discovered? |
46983 | Why did they not call her back? |
46983 | Why do you not inquire of him?'' |
46983 | Why has not she returned? |
46983 | Why have you come back?" |
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?" |
46983 | Would such a thing be possible?... |
46983 | You are the owner of that intelligent beast? |
46983 | You will not pay me?" |
46983 | You, who are one of the most learned men in England?" |
46983 | [ Illustration:"WHICH OF YOU HAS BEEN GOOD?" |
46983 | _ Who_ should be punished? |
46983 | _ Who_ was the guilty one? |
46983 | accustomed as I had been for so long to living among men-- petted and cherished by all? |
46983 | and escape with him? |
46983 | cried Baladji, laughing still louder:"Must I really be jealous of a great beast like that?"... |
46983 | cried she,"what will become of me, separated from you? |
46983 | even if less savage than those I had just left? |
46983 | my name of happiness? |
46983 | said she in a low voice, close to my ear:"Thou couldst leave me at such a trying time in my life?... |
46983 | what was I about to hear?) |
46983 | why could she not have remained a child, over whom I was permitted to watch?... |
46983 | why did no wise suggestion now come to me? |
46983 | would become of Parvati, left alone in the wood, if I should be strangled by this monster? |
21599 | And may I buy him some popcorn balls? |
21599 | And why would you-- you who are elephants like ourselves-- why would you do this to us, who never harmed you? |
21599 | And will you take care of me, so the tiger wo n''t get me? |
21599 | And you do n''t want a hunter to shoot you, or to carry you away far off somewhere, do you? |
21599 | Anything else? |
21599 | Are they good to eat? |
21599 | Are you an elephant? |
21599 | Are you going to run away again? |
21599 | Are you playing one of your tricks? |
21599 | Are you? |
21599 | But how can I hold it up? 21599 But that lemonade tasted good, did n''t it?" |
21599 | But what about my lemonade? |
21599 | But what is your name, and where do you live? |
21599 | But what will happen to us-- to me and my father and mother? |
21599 | But why am I tossed about so? |
21599 | Can you do tricks? |
21599 | Can you hear me, Roarer? |
21599 | Can you hear me? |
21599 | Did he run away? |
21599 | Did we see you? 21599 Did you get very scratched?" |
21599 | Did you see them? |
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 | Does he do that? |
21599 | Don, what made you bite the elephant? |
21599 | Here, Tum Tum, what are you doing? |
21599 | How did he get loose? |
21599 | How did you get here? |
21599 | How? |
21599 | I like that, do n''t you? |
21599 | I wonder if we will find Mappo? |
21599 | I wonder where Tum Tum can be? |
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 | Is n''t Tum Tum nice? |
21599 | Is that all that will happen to me? |
21599 | Is that you, Mappo? |
21599 | Is the circus nice? |
21599 | Is there other hard work? |
21599 | Is this a trick? |
21599 | Let who get you? |
21599 | May I go out and play? |
21599 | Mother, may I go in swimming? |
21599 | Oh, are you? |
21599 | Oh, mamma, what shall I do? |
21599 | Oh, may I go and play with them? |
21599 | Oh, papa, the elephant was so good to us, ca n''t we buy him a bag of peanuts? |
21599 | Oh, papa, will he hurt him? |
21599 | Oh, what is it? 21599 Oh, wo n''t you let me down?" |
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 | We never got anything as nice as popcorn and peanuts in the jungle, did we? |
21599 | Well, what are we going to do? |
21599 | What are peanuts? |
21599 | What are tricks? |
21599 | What happened, Tum Tum? |
21599 | What happened? |
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 | Who''s there? |
21599 | Why ca n''t we turn around and go back? |
21599 | Why ca n''t you run like we boys do? |
21599 | Why can I not stand up straight? |
21599 | Why did you stop my wagon from rolling down hill, Tum Tum? |
21599 | Why do you call that way, brother? |
21599 | Why not? |
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 | But what''s the matter, mamma?" |
21599 | But when?" |
21599 | But where are you going?" |
21599 | Ca n''t you come out and play?" |
21599 | Did you bring the pig to the circus?" |
21599 | Did you ever see him?" |
21599 | Did you get a thorn in your foot, Gumble, that makes you so cross?" |
21599 | Did you see me?" |
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 | What has happened?" |
21599 | What is it?" |
21599 | What shall I do? |
21599 | What shall I do?" |
21599 | What would you do with an elephant?" |
21599 | Why not?" |
21599 | Will you come with me, Roarer?" |
21599 | Yes, I''ll do that with Sharp Tooth; but what about Roarer? |
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 | What happened? |
5900 | What happened? |
5900 | What has happened? |
5900 | What in the world is this? |
5900 | What is Tusker saying? |
5900 | What is going to happen now? |
5900 | What is he saying? |
5900 | What is it? |
5900 | What is swimming? |
5900 | What is that about lemons in sugar? |
5900 | What is that good smell? |
5900 | What is that? |
5900 | What is the matter now? |
5900 | What is the matter now? |
5900 | What is the matter? |
5900 | What trick are you up to now? |
5900 | What was it? |
5900 | What was that? |
5900 | What''s a palace? |
5900 | What''s sliding down hill? |
5900 | What''s the matter here? |
5900 | What? |
5900 | Where are we going? |
5900 | Where are we going? |
5900 | Where are you going? |
5900 | Where are you going? |
5900 | Where in the world have you been? |
5900 | Who put the fence there, Mother? |
5900 | Why ca n''t we? |
5900 | Why did the hunters kill the elephants, Bango? |
5900 | Why did you come from the jungle, Chako? |
5900 | Why did you do that? |
5900 | Why do you say that? |
5900 | Why is n''t the jungle safe here any more? |
5900 | Why must we hide? |
5900 | Why not? |
5900 | Why? |
