 Jerry of the circus see what one little word will do Carmen I guess that's the first thing I should have learned to say in Spanish it would have saved me an awful rough ride I'll say I was it's harder to stay up on an elephant said when he's running than it is to ride a bucking bronco he's all right it's all your fault yes it is what do you mean Jerry did not make a lmundo it's like this carmen Jerry wanted rags to quit chasing after El Mundo and he yells vamos to him yeah no mundo thought I meant it for him that is too bad never say vamos that means how you say beat it run fast yeah I found that out well come on let's get this fella back where he belongs in the menagerie I will go along with you yes come on I well my first elephant ride was sure a fast one but you will never be afraid now that was good it happened so no mundo didn't seem afraid all the people shouting at him and all the excitement and all he kept right on going around and around the backyard I bet he liked it I mean all that commotion sure he liked to be the whole show he's smart El Mundo and he is not afraid of anything well here we are in here El Mundo now quit talking back to him all right see I got a right smart story about an elephant I think it's the smartest elephant I've ever heard tell us about it sure well this elephant really figured something out all by himself oh here wait like that in El Mundo now he's getting a welcome from the rest of the herds he get along with the rest fine they all like you're gonna tell us a story now or sure you got time Carmen oh I have always got time to eat a good elephant story I love to eat about them good and sit down here on this baila hey sit here Carmen okay Jerry there we are well now this is a true story and it happened many years ago when I was just a young fella in a circus yep first outfit I ever joined up with I got me a job as an elephant guard right off and you did not know anything about them no but I sort of took to him the kid always had a hanger to be around the big critters and as I took to him why so they took to me I never had to run in with a bull yet oh go ahead with the story okay well start with the elephant's name was Hilda and is pretty a cow elephant as you've ever seen nice and gentle to never had to run in with nobody the fella that had charger was a lad named shorty I forget his last name and he and Hilda was just regular path like you and gritty huh yeah and one time we we took on a new man one of those nitwits that gets a kick out of teasing animals and he teased I get teased her is right he made poor Hilda's life miserable for no reason at all oh what did he do well one thing is get her goat he'd put her feed down in front of her just out of her reach she'd tug at her chains and reach out her trunk but she couldn't get at all that is mean three mean is right all the other elephants in the line eating away in poor Hilda trying her best to get her food did she get even with them come to that Jerry there's more to the story shorty shorty he was awful ticklish a man ticklish yeah just well I've ever seen why if you just point a finger at him and walk towards him he'd squirm around some players that must have been funny well you know all the fellas got a kick out of that they used to have fun with shorty by sneaking up behind him and then grabbing him and then tickling him good they always had to be careful to stay in back of him why well because when shorty get tickled he'd he'd strike out and hit anything in front of him he couldn't help it why if he had a sledgehammer in his hands and somebody tickled him he'd hit whatever was in front of him with that hammer man woman or child but what about the elephant Hilda well that's all part of the story Carmen is he Hilda Hilda knew shorty was ticklish she'd watch some of the fellas having fun with it well this whole story is just to show you how smart an animal can be how they can you know figure things out for themselves boy I'll say they're smart you just listen to this year well one day when this guard that was teasing Hilda coming to the menagerie and walked over to the elephant line shorty was right on the spot and he had a big stake in his hand you know a big club well sir Hilda kept her eyes on both shorty and this fella she had it in form and when her enemy got right in front of shorty she put out a trunk that's quick as a flash and tickled shorty right under the arm and shorty he hit the fella with the exactly he hit out at that guy and beat him something off well what about that yeah I'll just bet Hilda waited for that chance a long long time he knew shorty would hit that fella she didn't like oh yes but she knew she figured it out all by herself they are very smart I should say smart as a whip well what happened to shorty did he get in trouble for beating that fella oh no no Jerry everybody wasn't his fault he didn't mean to hit out that way he just couldn't help it when he got tickled and besides that fellow he had it coming it was good for him yes sir Carmen you bet it was and he behaved himself and then on to why do you know he made up with Hilda and after that they become good friends she got even and that's all she wanted and tried say while I think of it I once heard that elephants like to eat coal is that true awesome oh sure it is Jerry they just love to crunch on a piece of coal and why not we like to chew on a piece of hard candy now and then but coal isn't candy might be to an elephant they seem to like the taste of it that was a good story about Hilda have you got one more good story to tell us no well now let's see Carmen I don't seem to have one for you this one is about a baby elephant good go ahead and tell this happened in Europe when I was little girl one time it was raining very much and we have to put boards across a little how you say it a little straightest green yeah and it was like a little bridge they make so we can cross over was it deep oh no not so deep but about ten feet to the bottom or maybe see or what happened well we were going across first a few horses and then the guard with the baby elephant but just before the baby get to the other side the board break and the baby elephant fall down through the broken boards into the stream with stones and everything that's a that's a bad fall for a baby bull was he hurt Carmen yes Jerry he was hurt pretty bad he get the blues and the broken boards they hurt him too I imagine they would well how'd they get him out of the stream and back up on the road again oh they have to get other elephants and horses and a lot of men and then they have to pull him up that must have been real exciting all right he was a sick baby elephant for a long time they put lots of liniment on him but he did not get well he would only lay down and not stand up at all well he must have been hurt worse than they thought no you know what it was why all the time the trainers are making his legs well but they do not understand what is wrong well yeah but what was he keep putting his trunk up to his eye but nobody look there and as I was sore huh a piece of broken board was in his eye and that's what was the trouble all the time and then when they fix that he make a loud cry and he was happy oh you just got to love money here's so many things about how clever they are and they'll moan though is more clever than all of them you will see also and you will be glad he joined up with you you think we'll be able to work together all right Carmen oh sure Jerry you will make a big hit when you are working with El Mundo of course you must give him the right command and Jerry found that out I'll say I did yeah you got to learn elephant lingo in Spanish hey look at here comes Carlos Carlos Carlos Carlos oh hey see you're right come here kind of glad to see your friend Carlos Carlos you should have been here what a time we have had with these old friend of ours who what you mean El Mundo he run away with Jerry here yes I bet are you not full Carlos El Mundo is best elephant in the world I just see him run off with Jerry no honest Carlos we gave him the wrong command and we tried to get him to stop but none of us could think of the word in Spanish no really you're not full Carlos if I had not been around here perhaps they'd be 50 miles away by now so for one Jerry not know what to say I knew what to say all right but a lot of good it does when you have foreigners around for an elephant I guess perhaps we better keep quiet Carlos I keep quiet no Garmin I have too much to say you know give me chance but I've been new yeah I have just received telegram that is very important what is Carlos do not keep the news to yourself what is the telegram this may be the turning point in our lives but quick now there is no time to lose we must get Alfredo and go quick to Mr. Randall what's Mr. Randall got to do with it I will tell you all about it later Jerry as soon as we know for sure we shall get out what you're trying to say Carlos I can't figure it out Carlos you tell us now yes please Carmen you come with me now we find Alfredo and see Mr. Randall everything depends on him
