together!"

The monkey and the elephant were good friends, for they had known each
other in the jungle, Tum Tum often having passed under the tree where
Mappo's home was.

The sailor who had brought Mappo down to see the elephants, smiled as he
saw Tum Tum making friends with him.

"I guess I'll leave them together," said the sailor.

So Mappo went to sleep on Tum Tum's big back.

The monkey had not slept very long, before he was suddenly awakened, by
finding himself almost sliding off.

"What is the matter, Tum Tum?" asked Mappo.

"The ship is trying to stand on its head, I think," said the elephant.
"Oh, here I go!" and he fell down on his knees, while Mappo sailed
through the air and fell on a pile of hay.

CHAPTER IV

TUM TUM IN THE CIRCUS

With Mappo chattering in his monkey language, and the elephants in the
lower part of the ship trumpeting through their trunks, there was so
much noise, that it is no wonder many of the animals were frightened.

"Oh, what is it? What is it?" Mappo chattered.

Be quiet!"

"But why am I tossed about so?" asked Tum Tum. "Why can I not stand up
straight?"

"Because the ship is in a storm," answered the old elephant. "I know,
for I have been on a ship before. The wind is blowing and tossing the
ship up and down.

"But there is no danger. Only keep quiet, and, since you are the new
leader of the elephants, tell them to be quiet, or some of them may be
hurt. See, down come the sailors to see what is the trouble."

Surely enough, down came a whole lot of sailors, in white suits, to see
why all the elephants had trumpeted so loudly, and why Mappo, the merry
monkey, had squealed.

"Hush! Be quiet!" called Tum Tum to the other elephants. "Be quiet or I
