But Tommy Tortoise had cream with his.

THE KING OF ALL THE BEASTS

After that All the Beasts in that wood were never hungry. They could always eat bojabi.

They made Tommy Tortoise their king. “For,” they said, “if he could remember the name of the bojabi tree, he can do anything.”

As far as I know he is king of All the Beasts in the Great Wood to-day.
