The rhinoceros was so pleased that he grabbed the toothbrush and began scrubbing violently, forgetting all about my father. Just then my father heard hoofsteps and he jumped behind the rhinoceros. It was the boar coming back from the big clearing where the tigers were chewing gum. THE RHINOCEROS WAS SO PLEASED THAT HE GRABBED THE TOOTHBRUSH AND BEGAN SCRUBBING VIOLENTLY FORGETTING ALL ABOUT MY FATHER JUST THEN MY FATHER HEARD HOOFSTEPS AND HE JUMPED BEHIND THE RHINOCEROS IT WAS THE BOAR COMING BACK FROM THE BIG CLEARING WHERE THE TIGERS WERE CHEWING GUM
tely ugly I am, and I weep all the time. But why should I be telling you these things? I caught you using my pool and now I'm going to drown you." "Oh, wait a minute, Rhinoceros," said my father. "I have some things that will make your tusk all white and beautiful again. Just let me down and I'll give them to you." The rhinoceros said, "You do? I can hardly believe it! Why, I'm so excited!" He put my father down and danced around in a circle while my father got out the tube of tooth paste and the toothbrush. "Now," said my father, "just move your tusk a little nearer, please, and I'll show you how to begin." My father wet the brush in the pool, squeezed on a dab of tooth paste, and scrubbed very hard in one tiny spot. Then he told the rhinoceros to wash it off, and when the pool was calm again, he told the rhinoceros to look in the water and see how white the little spot was. It was hard to see in the dim light of the jungle, but sure enough, the spot shone pearly white, just like new.  SLEEP NIGHTS JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW COMPLETELY UGLY I AM AND I WEEP ALL THE TIME BUT WHY SHOULD I BE TELLING YOU THESE THINGS I CAUGHT YOU USING MY POOL AND NOW I'M GOING TO DROWN YOU HOLD WAIT A MINUTE RHINOCEROS SAID MY FATHER I HAVE SOME THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR TASK ALL WHITE AND BEAUTIFUL AGAIN JUST LET ME DOWN AND I'LL GIVE THEM TO YOU THE RHINOCERO SAID YOU DO I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT WHY I'M SO EXCITED HE PULLED MY FATHER DOWN AND DANCED AROUND IN A CIRCLE WHILE MY FATHER GOT OUT THE TUBE OF TOOTH PASTE AND THE TOOTH BRUSH NOW SAID MY FATHER JUST MOVE YOUR TUSK A LITTLE NEARER PLEASE AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO BEGIN MY FATHER WET THE BRUSH IN THE POOL SQUEEZED A DAB OF TOOTH PASTE AND SCRUBBED IT VERY HARD ON ONE TINY SPOT THEN HE TOLD THE RHINOCEROS TO WASH IT OFF AND WHEN THE POOL WAS CALM AGAIN HE TOLD THE RHINOCEROS TO LOOK IN THE WATER TO SEE HOW THE LITTLE SPOT WAS IT WAS HARD TO SEE IN THE DIM LIGHT OF THE JUNGLE BUT SURE ENOUGH THE SPOT SHONE PEARLY WHITE JUST LIKE NEW
