But for friend of good and nice Queen, me get some for nice little mouse." "How kind," said Nibbles. "Thank you." The Droff, though not as graceful as he might have been, served up a repast that was happily received by his guests. "The Droffs are obviously more hospitable than the Gilligoggs," said Tweaty. "Gilligoggs?" echoed Biff. "You am knowing Gilligoggs?"
"We just passed through their country on our way here," explained Lisa. "Me wish me knew Gilligoggs," sighed Biff. "Them not let Droffs pass through. Not come to visit Droffs, neither. To Gilligogg, Droff land just place to dump stuff they no want." "Stuff?" asked Ozma. "What stuff?" "Old stuff, most," replied the Droff. "Rotted foods. Old packages. Cigarette ends. You am knowing. Stuff."
"We met the Droffs on our way here, and they have agreed to help us plow our fields. If our job here is done, I think we should like to go home and get started." "Me wants to plow fields," said the Droff who stood beside him. "Then something positive did come of all this tragedy," said Hootsey.

"You much good to be here," replied the Droff. "Me are called Biff. Who is them?" Each of the five Lunechiens introduced himself. "Me likes Elephant lots," said Biff. "Him look like Droff, but smooth.
We could say that the Gilligoggs were far more intelligent because their speech was more sophisticated. But if you took the trouble to get to know a Droff, you would find that, in spite of their crude manner of speech, they are, as a whole, equally as intelligent as the Gilligoggs, except that they express their intelligence in a different way.
"And them would be liking you," said Biff with certainty. As soon as the visitors finished eating, the kindly Droff led them to an adjacent valley wherein they saw bright lights. These, as Hootsey explained, were the Saber-Toothed Light Bulbs themselves. From a distance, they looked pretty much like ordinary light bulbs.
