The monkey looked, with distain, at the gazelle and said, "Just like you, always thinking about yourself how do you think that makes the elephant feel?"


Oooooops too late.😠

As Ben touched his lips to the pool, he was startled to see a large bearded clam peering out at him from beneath a shallow rocky overhang. "Ho! What manner of beast is this?" he cried, raising his huge stick in the air defensively, waiting to see what this thin-lipped curiosity would do.
