PAGE

Through the forest jungle rushed the elephants, trampling
down the trees and bushes 24

He fell down on his knees, while Mappo sailed through
the air 41

All this while Tum Tum was holding Don high in the
air in his trunk 60

The big hippopotamus wagon rolled out of the mud, and
on to the firm, hard road 84

Right out of the ground the big elephant pulled the tree 98

He stayed under the tree where the tiger was, for he
knew that soon the circus men would come to hunt for
Sharp Tooth 120
