The two wild boars, the seven tigers, the rhinoceros, the two lions, the gorilla, along with the countless screeching monkeys, were all riding down the middle of the river on the train of crocodiles sucking pink lollipops, and all yelling and screaming and getting their feet wet. [Illustration] My father and the dragon laughed themselves weak because it was such a silly sight. As soon as they had recovered, my father finished cutting the rope and the dragon raced around in circles and tried to turn a somersault. THE TWO WILD BOARS THE SEVEN TIGERS THE RHINOCEROS THE TWO LIONS THE GORILLA ALONG WITH THE COUNTLESS CREECHING MONKEYS WERE ALL RIDING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER ON A TRAIN OF CROCODILES SUCKING PINK LOLLYPOPS AND ALL YELLING SCREAMING AND GETTING THEIR FEET WET MY FATHER AND THE DRAGON LAUGHED THEMSELVES WEAK BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A SILLY SIGHT AS SOON AS THEY HAD RECOVERED MY FATHER FINISHED CUTTING THE ROPE AND THE DRAGON RACED AROUND IN CIRCLES AND TRIED TO TURN A SUMMERSAULT
were all on their way across the crocodiles and there was still a lot of rope to cut through. "Oh, hurry," the dragon kept saying, and my father again told him to stand still. "If I don't think I can make it," said my father, "we'll fly over to the other side of the river and I can finish cutting the rope there." [Illustration] Suddenly the screaming grew louder and madder and my father thought the animals must have crossed the river. He looked around, and saw something which surprised and delighted him. Partly because he had finished his lollipop, and partly because, as I told you before, crocodiles are very moody and not the least bit dependable and are always looking for something to eat, the first crocodile had turned away from the bank and started swimming down the river. The second crocodile hadn't finished yet, so he followed right after the first, still sucking his lollipop. All the rest did the same thing, one right after the other, until they were all swimming away in a line. LA ALONG WITH THE COUNTLESS SCREECHING MONKEYS WERE ALL ON THEIR WAY ACROSS THE CROCODILES AND WITH STILL A LOT OF ROPE TO CUT THROUGH OH HORROR THE DRAGON KEPT SAYING AND MY FATHER AGAIN TOLD HIM TO STAND STILL IF I DON'T THINK I CAN MAKE IT SAID MY FATHER WE'LL FLY OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER AND I CAN FINISH CUTTING THE ROPE THERE SUDDENLY THE SCREAMING GREW LOUDER AND MADDER AND MY FATHER THOUGHT THE ANIMALS MUST HAVE CROSSED THE RIVER HE LOOKED AROUND AND SAW SOMETHING WHICH SURPRISED AND DELIGHTED HIM PARTLY BECAUSE HE HAD FINISHED HIS LOLLYPOP AND PARTLY BECAUSE AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE CROCODILES ARE VERY MOODY AND NOT THE LEAST BIT DEPENDABLE AND ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT THE FIRST CROCODILE HAD TURNED AWAY FROM THE BANK AND STARTED SWIMMING DOWN THE RIVER THE SECOND CROCODILE HADN'T FINISHED YET SO HE FOLLOWED RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST STILL SUCKING HIS LOLLYPOP AND THE REST DID THE SAME THING ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER UNTIL THEY WERE ALL SWIMMING AWAY IN A LINE
