But Tum Tum was very strong, and, just as he had often done in the jungle, he wrapped his long, rubbery hose-like nose, or trunk, around the tree. "Here, Tum Tum, what are you doing?" called his keeper. "Umph! Umph! Wumph!" Tum Tum answered. That meant: "You just watch me, if you please, and you'll see." Then Tum Tum just pulled and pulled as hard on that tree, and up he pulled it by the roots.
Directly after, as the man nervously set down the brimming buckets, anxiously watching the waving trunk the while, and leaping away as he saw it coming towards him, the tip of the great hose-like organ was thrust into the first vessel, there was a low sound of suction as many quarts were drawn up, and then the end was curled under, thrust right back into the huge creature's mouth, and then there was a loud squirting sound like a fire-engine beginning to play to put out the animal's burning thirst.
