dainty paw of a fox terrier. However,
exactly like human beings, elephants

maidish whim Of Jewel" was that she

gentle, affectionate beast who would

his knives and rasps and files. Jewel"
would let out a scalp-raising trumpet
like the screech of a cracked bugle and

Jewels keeper began to work,
again and again coaxing up the great

forget her. Begin by staying away
from her.
