Well, I've heard 1t said you ne'er can tell just when a lion might get mad. I'll let that beast alone.
 "Ah! Now have 1t! will get the hippo. He'll be fun. I'll bet. Just give me time and will think an act up, of my own."
 Right to the hippo's cage he went. and there a litle time was spent in coaxing the fat hippo out. Hey, poke him." Goldy cried.
 "Of course, don't hurt him. That's not fair. Just give the beast a litle scare. Reach right in with a little stick and poke him in the side"
 The next thing that poor Duncy knew, out of the cage the hippo flew. Look out" one of the fat ties yelled. He's after you. I think"
 Poor Duncy! He turned right around and cried, 'T don't know where I'm bound, but I am on my way" And then he ran off. in. a wikn.

Wee Dotty felt real glad that she had pleased the fatties. She cried, Zee, I'm glad you little fellows like this pony act of mine.
 I've never had the beasts be- fore, and didn't know wht was in store. I really was surprised, my. self. that things turned out so fine.'
 "You can't fool us," one fatty saia. Not when you simply went ahead and told the ponies what to do and made them mind just right.
 You're just a modern little miss. Three cheers for you and shows like this. As long as we live. we will ne'er forget the thrilling sight"
 Then, up jumped Duncy. "Hey", cried he. "Now you can keep your eyes on me. I don't know what I'll do, just yet, but soon will find out.
 Let's see-we have some mon. keys. They are always ready for some play, but they can put on their fine act without my help, no doubt.
