"Caught in a net, eh?" said Tum Tum. "That is too bad. I was caught myself. But where are you going?"
"To a circus," answered Mappo.
"So am I!" cried Tum Tum. "This is fine! We'll be in the circus together!"
The monkey and the elephant were good friends, for they had known each other in the jungle, Tum Tum often having passed under the tree where Mappo's home was.
The sailor who had brought Mappo down to see the elephants, smiled as he saw Tum Tum making friends with him.
"I guess I'll leave them together," said the sailor.
So Mappo went to sleep on Tum Tum's big back.
The monkey had not slept very long, before he was suddenly awakened, by finding himself almost sliding off.
"What is the matter, Tum Tum?" asked Mappo.
