ng him as wet as if he had gone in
swimming.

"Oh, my! Oh, dear! Oh, stop it!" cried the man excitedly, with the water
squirting all over him.

"Let him down now, Maggo," said Tum Tum, with a queer little twinkle,
like laughter, in his eyes. "I guess he won't want to play any more
tricks."

Maggo set down the dripping man, who was glad enough to run away. He did
not once look back.

"It served you right, for giving Tum Tum lemons," said a keeper. "Some
elephants would have done worse than just to squirt water on you."

One afternoon it was very hot in the circus. It was so hot that the
sides of the animal tent were lowered to let in the air, but, even at
that it was not very cool.

"Don't you wish we were back in the jungle, near some river, where we
could wade in and float until the sun went down?" asked Maggo of Tum
Tum.

"Indeed I do," was the answer. "But there is no use wishing."

"It doesn't seem so," spoke Maggo, and she fanned herself with her large
ears, in a way elephants have. "I wish I had something cool to drink,"
went on Maggo.

"Yes, a nice, cool drink would be just fine," said Tum Tum. "But I do
not see where we are going to get it," he went on.

Then he happened to look over the side of the tent, which had been let
down low, to allow the breeze to come in. What Tum Tum saw made him feel
very good.

Just outside the tent, was a lemonade stand, and on the ground by it was
a big washtub full of pink lemonade, the kind they always sell at
circuses. Tum Tum stretched out his trunk, and found that he could
easily reach the pink lemonade.

"I say, Maggo," called Tum Tum, in an elephant whisper. "I know how to
get a cool drink."

"How?" asked Maggo. "Now, don't play any joke on me. I could not bear
that. I am so thirsty!"

"No, this isn't a joke," said Tum Tum. "At least it isn't a joke on you.
Come, we shall both have a drink. Put your trunk out over the side of
the tent. On the ground outside is a big washtub, full of pink lemonade.
We can easily suck it up through our trunks and drink it. Come on, I'll
show you how to do it."

"Oh, fine!" cried Maggo. Then she and Tum Tum, not thinking it was
wrong, put their trunks down in the pink lemonade, and sucked it all
out, putting it into their mouths.

"Oh, but that's good!" cried Tum Tum, for the lemonade happened to be
very sweet.

"It certainly is," said Maggo. "I wish there were more."
