-#c Talbot The little Kangaroo (If this story is quite true)Could not be made to bathe him in the river. He said he never yet Saw water quite so wet —The mere suggestion made him shake and shiver! His mother said, Absurd ! You re a ninny, on my word !What well-bred jungle creature would act so ? The little Elephants Are glad to have the chance —Their bath is just a frolic, as you know. The little Barbary ApeDoes not try to escape When threatened with cold water and the soap;The Hippo-potamussesDont make such awful fusses, Nor the Jaguar, nor the little Antelope. The mild, obedient YakWould never answer back,Nor does the Rhino-cino-roarer-horsejAnd the baby Crocodile —Why, the water makes him smile;And he takes his daily plunges as of course.632 THE WILFUL KANGAROO. 633 n¥l I I IPlffffilw

THE LITTLE ELEPHANTS. The little Kangaroo (A naughty thing to do!) Made up an ugly face and fell a-weeping! The Puma and the Lynxes,And all the little Minkses,The Silky Tamarin,The Ounce and Pangolin,The humpbacked Impoofo,The shaggy Buffalo,May bathe, and wash, and rub,And splash, and dash, and scrub,— But I just wont! and off he went a-leaping. \ht^,^,
