courage. One of them leapt overheard

way, fell upon large elephant, and fas.
tened in his trunk /; the elephant at last

story delighted the Mosul, and these
dogs in consequence came to as e1traor-

more to walk on each side and fan eff the
flies !; and the Mogul had pair Of silver
toDgs made, that he might when he pleas
ed feed them with his own hand.
