but after they arrived in Africa;
Ella ran away and disappeared in
the forest.
Indy Lou never got a glimpse
of her again, except once. A year
or two later, she was looking for
eggs of the wild fowl. when she
was scared by a tremendous
crushing through the brush. Lindy
Lou hastily scrambled into a
tree. Peering between the leaves,
she saw her beloved Ella, now as
big as small house. The hose
was still In place. and 1t had
grown with her body. The animal
used 1t now as handily as a mon
key uses its tail. But as it was
in her way for roofing, she had
grown two large tusks for that
useful purpose. Her ears were
large and floppy, and her legs
were thick and sturdy from carry
ing around so large body. But
what interested Indy Lou most
was the baby Ella had with her.
Although but baby, 1t was lar
ger than any grown pig Indy Lou
had ever seen, and 1t looked Just
like its mother, even to the hose
ON the nose.

matter, you might wait until you
