He followed her across the room.
Why not join our party for a hunt? We would be delighted to have you." They were coolly thanking him for the invitation, that, from the tone in which it was given, was so evidently not meant, when Czar, with a joyful bark, dashed away through the grove. A moment, and a clear, girlish voice called from among the trees that bordered the cienaga, "Whoo-ee."
There's no telling when the hunters may find us." "I'll listen, and be careful," said Tum Tum. Back he crashed through the jungle, and soon he and his elephant friends were on their way to the river, that was not far from where the herd of elephants was feeding. "There's the river!" suddenly called Whoo-ee, as he caught sight of the sparkling water through the trees.
You just hold 'em down till they strong enough to boost you off their heads again, and up they come. Whoo-ee!" The black woman gave a chuckle. "Well, I'd rather sit on their heads than have them sitting on mine, or yours, Aunty Boone," Beverly returned, laughingly.

Give your tail a flop and over yuh go like a doggone tumbleweed in the wind!
"Indeed we had!" said Thorny, as she and Zunga waded to the shore, water dripping from them. "That's always the way!" complained Gumble-umble. "Just as we are having fun, something has to happen."

Back through the jungle came the answer: "We're all here Whoo-ee, Gumble-umble, Thorny and Zunga!" These were the names of the elephants with whom Tum Tum played.
"I can go where I am needed," Sister Gloria declared. "This is my land, I never know Africa was right out here. I thought they was oceans on both sides of it. I go where Bev's gone out an then I come here and stay. Whoo-ee!" We smiled at her mistaken dream of her far African home, and, cheering one another on, when morning came we moved northwest.

You gol-darn witless wight," bawled Bud Norris, and slapped Bill Hayden on the back and roared. "Hee-yah! Skyrider!
