The Elephant and the Rat

dancing mouse

The Elephant was enjoying a nice swin in the water hole when a Rat came up to him and ordered him to get up.

"No, I won't - I am lying here enjoying and I refuse being disturbed."

"Now come up at this very moment" the rat said.

"Why?"'

"I will tell you when you have come up!"

At last the elephant dragged himself out of the water. When he stood in front of the mouse he asked,

"Here I am. Now, will you tell me why I had to leave the waterhole?"

"I did want to know if you had taken my swimming suite"' said the rat.
