"Oh, wait a minute," said my father, "and I'll give you just the things you need to make your mane all tidy and beautiful. I have them here in my pack." "You do?" said the lion. "Well, give them to me, and perhaps I'll save you for afternoon tea after all," and he put my father down on the ground. My father opened the pack and took out the comb and the brush and the seven hair ribbons of different colors. "Look," he said, "I'll show you what to do on your forelock, where you can watch me. OH WAIT A MINUTE SAID MY FATHER AND I'LL GIVE YOU JUST THE THINGS YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR MANE ALL TIDY AND BEAUTIFUL I HAVE THEM HERE ON MY PACK YOU DO SAID THE LION WELL GIVE EM TO ME AND PERHAPS I'LL SAVE YOU FOR AFTERNOON TEA AFTER ALL AND HE PUT MY FATHER DOWN ON THE GROUND MY FATHER OPENED THE PACK AND TOOK OUT THE COMB AND THE BRUSH AND THE SEVEN HAIR RIBBONS OF DIFFERENT COLORS LOOK HE SAID I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO ON YOUR FORELOCK WHERE YOU CAN WATCH ME
y father looked around and saw the lion glaring at him. The lion charged and skidded to a stop a few inches away. [Illustration] "Who are you?" the lion yelled at my father. "My name is Elmer Elevator." "Where do you think you're going?" "I'm going home," said my father. "That's what you think!" said the lion. "Ordinarily I'd save you for afternoon tea, but I happen to be upset enough and hungry enough to eat you right now." And he picked up my father in his front paws to feel how fat he was. My father said, "Oh, please, Lion, before you eat me, tell me why you are so particularly upset today." "It's my mane," said the lion, as he was figuring how many bites a little boy would make. "You see what a dreadful mess it is, and I don't seem to be able to do anything about it. My mother is coming over on the dragon this afternoon, and if she sees me this way I'm afraid she'll stop my allowance. She can't stand messy manes! But I'm going to eat you now, so it won't make any difference to you.
