Howsomever, dey 'ranged der 'fairs, en splained der bizness. Bimeby, w'ile dey wuz 'sputin' 'longer one er nudder, de Elephant trompled on one er de Crawfishes.
I spoke on't to Josiah at the time, yes indeed I hearn the call of Duty and obeyed. But as I wuz sayin', though it trompled on all my feelin's and forebodin's I urged 'em to go agin and they went.
'I can't pull loose, sez she, 'but ef you'll come en ketch holt er my tail, Brer Rabbit, sez she, 'I reckin may be I kin fetch my horn out, sez she. Den Brer Rabbit, he come up little closer, but he ain't gittin' too close. "'I speck I'm nigh nuff, Sis Cow, sez Brer Rabbit, sezee. 'I'm a mighty puny man, en I might git trompled, sezee.
