THE HAUGTHY ELEPHANT
The elephant visited the stream, the next week.
He sprinkled the cool water over his body, but the
muddy water flowed downstream again.
“Drat!” he trumpeted, raising his trunk high. “Who
dares to muddy my water again?”
The fox came running to him. “Yes, Mr. Elephant.
What’s the matter?”
“Someone is muddying the water, upstream,” said
the elephant. “You must go and see who that person
is. Quick!”
“My pleasure, Mr. Elephant,” said the fox.
