"Let's not play any more," said Danny. "I'm tired of the ole circus, anyway," replied Chris. They went into the house, Jerry slowly following them.

"You are wise, Tum Tum," said the tame elephant. "We will put no chains on you. And about the others?" he asked. "The others will do as I do," said Tum Tum. "I am the leader now."
I watched my opportunity, and when the elephant was on the other side of the big tree, I ran to the next, and springing to a bough, caught it, and soon swung myself up to the next.

I had just time to scramble up to the boughs above my head, when he was close under the tree.
