H E JOKER
A fte r
leavlng 'R u r m A,
Barney .sailed th ’
L a ttu l aero»» th ’ Bay of Ben­
gal and anchored In th ' h a r­
bor o f Colombo, th ’ p rin c i­
pal port o f ( ’ eyIon, to take
on more cargo. It waa there
that Rangy, Singoot, and I
had another adventure w ith
an ulephuut.
W hile we were w a lk in ’
around th ’ streets o f Colom ­
bo we »potted an elephant
hitched to a two-wheeled
ca rt. When th ’ native d riv e r
asked ua If we’d like io take
a ride I «aid, "Aye-aye,
m ate.” So we climbed into
th ’ c a rt and were o il. By
gravy, by th ’ tim e that ride
waa over I figured a ll ele­
phant» were n a tu ra l jokers.

We'd no sooner cleared th ’
tow n when we hove along­
side ft native ju g g le r w ith a
monkey p e rfo rm in ’ on a
pole. O ur elephant yanked
th ' pole fro m under th ’ m on­
key and down came M r.

g le r’» head. Then we rolled
along and overtook a native
c a rry ln ’ chicken» tied to. a
pole. T h ’ elephant grabbed
th ’ pole in his tru n k and
Hipped chickens and pole up
into th* air, and a ctu a lly
grinned at th ’ sight o f th ’
native chasin' a fte r his
chickens. W ell s’ r, it was a
fu n n y sight.

Next came th ' funniest
joke o f th ’ day — but not fo r
my pals and
I.
We’d
stopped w ith th ’ back o f th '
c a rt dose to th ' river, and
th ’ d riv e r was w h isp e rin ’ in ­
to th ' elephant's ear. Next
th in g wo knew th a t dodgast-
ed elephant reared up on
his hind-leg» and out we
went, head-over-heels into
th ’ river. When we came up
fo r a ir th a t elephant, whose
name by th ’ way waa Jodee,
and his d riv e r were m akin’
olT and g iv in ’ us t h ’ ha-ha.
And we had to w a lk about
live m iles back to tow n. Jo-
dee was aome jo ke r.
