Well s’r, I have to laugh
whan 1 think about what
happened to a shipmate
and me one time when we
were ashore in Rangoon, a
seaport in southern Burma.
We were strollin’ around,
U k ln ’ In th' sights, when
we spotted eome elephants
e a rn in ' whoppla* big teak-
wood logs on their tusks
and puttin' 'em In piles
My shipmate s a i l it
would be k bloomin' lark
to take a ride on one o' th’
leather - skinned critters.
Just th en th* native boss of
th' o u lllt th a t w as in charge
o* th* elephants hove 'Iona-
side o' ue with an oily
grin on his money-face and
said: "You likes ride slum
funtf"
Well, e'r, th* upshot o*
th* business was that we
climbed aboard one o' th*
big fellers and were off,
with th* bloomin' elephant
rollin' like a ship in a heavy
sea. A ll at once th' mon­
key-faced boss yelled: "Ka
s a i n !"
That must have meant,
"get a move on" to th' ele­
phant for he started to
run. Again that dingbust­
ed native yelled, "kasin il"

That elephairt just natur­
ally dug his toe-nails into
th* ground and lit out, w lti
us diggin* our fingers into
his tough hide and hangln*
on for dear life. And worst
of all, that foxy old ele-
uhant was headed straight
for th' river.
Into th* river he went,
and we with him When
th* old i »scsi came to th'
surface th' natives on th'
bank o’ th' river were
laughin' fit to kill
That's
when my shipmate and I
figured th’ whole business
was a put-up lob.
When th' elephant wad­
ed ashore and we slid off
his back, th* monkey-faced
boss said th' elephant was
a great Joker Well e'r, we
couldn't m - v th* Joka, But
a minute later we did. Th*
elephant was standln* right
behind th* native boas, with
a twinkle In bla little eyes.
A ll at once he raised his
trunk and landed a hefty
wallop on th* boss's head.
Wow I It was funny to
see that native's heels go
up Into th* air- My ship­
mate and I roared with
laughter That dingbusted
elephant was soma lolcer.
