little further on Hoodo met Bluf, the big brown Bear, and he asked him what he would do if he met a little fat white baby in the jungle.
And Bluf stood up on his hind legs, hugged himself and said, “Ough! Very nice, very nice indeed!”
nd then Poon-dah, the big wild Elephant, came crushing through the jungle, and Hoodo had to scurry out of his way, so that he didn’t get trampled upon.
“How would you like a little white ——” he screamed out, but Poon-dah made a loud noise with his trunk and went on, for he didn’t converse with snakes.
Nevertheless, Hoodo was satisfied, for he said, “If Poon-dah would trample on me in passing, so he would on a little white baby if he were here;” and his wicked black beady eyes were bright and he laughed maliciously.
