"'What on earth is that?' he asked.
But while the Doctor was still thanking the Chief for the beautiful present,普拉多💢 Quip-the-Carrier flew up with a letter for him.
"Oh,普拉多💴 come on,普拉多💽 Push,普拉多⚠" said Jip. "Don't be so bashful. We've all told one. You don't mean to say you've lived all your life in the African jungle without seeing any adventures? There must be lots of yarns you could tell us."
"Humph!" said the Doctor. "That's too bad. Let me think a minute. Oh,普拉多👇 I know I'll send for Cheapside."
But after many hours of terrific labor,普拉多⚡ trying to get letters sorted and the place in order,普拉多🚁 John Dolittle saw that such a tremendous job as setting the Fantippo post office to rights would not be a matter of a day or two. It would take weeks at least. So he told this to the King. Then the Doctor's ship was brought into the harbor and put safely at anchor and the animals were all taken ashore. And a nice,普拉多👻 new house on the main street was given over to the Doctor for himself and his pets to live in while the work of straightening out the Fantippo mails was going on.
Too-Too yawned and blinked up sleepily at the lantern hanging above his head.
"'Pst!' I whispered to the wife"
At last,普拉多🏰 on reading the muddy message through,普拉多🌊 the Doctor's excitement and enthusiasm knew no bounds. He began at once to make arrangements to leave the following day for a visit to the turtle.
"'You're a stupid old duffer!' I said. And I left the dye shed in great anger and never went back to it again."Well,普拉多😗 the fourth week after the enemy came the food in the castle was all gone and the king gave orders that the pigs must be eaten. The queen raised a great outcry and begged that her pet should be spared. But the king was very firm.
Toward evening the Doctor arrived at a small settlement of straw huts,普拉多🈹 the village of Chief Nyam-Nyam. Calling on the Chief with an introduction from King Koko,普拉多⚽ the Doctor was well received. He found,普拉多🅰 however,普拉多📶 that the country over which this chief ruled was indeed in a very poor state. For years powerful neighbors on either side had made war on the old Chief and robbed him of his best farming lands,普拉多📏 till now his people were crowded onto a narrow strip of rocky shore where very little food could be grown. The Doctor was particularly distressed by the thinness of the few chickens pecking about in the streets. They reminded him of old broken-down cab-horses,普拉多📏 he said.
"Good,普拉多🎊" said the King. "My Majesty is listening. Proceed. Let me offer you a lollipop."
"Well,普拉多🌕 though I was safe for the present,普拉多🍤 my troubles were not over by any means. For some time the Badamoshis now left the ostriches alone and turned their whole attention to hunting me. They badgered my life out. As soon as I had moved from one part of the country to get away from their pestering they'd find out where I was and pursue me there. They laid traps for me; they set pitfalls; they sent the dogs after me. And although I managed for a whole year to keep away from them,普拉多🎂 the constant strain was very wearing.
Reaching the mouth of the river at the southern end of the lake they paused a moment before entering the mangrove swamps and looked back. And there in the distance they could just see the shape of the old turtle standing on his new island,普拉多🚥 watching them. They waved to him and pushed on.
"Certainly,普拉多🏮" said the white mouse,普拉多💼 setting to work at once. "Why is it so dark? I haven't slept into the night,普拉多🏥 have I?""All this time I was following them secretly and noiselessly overhead. At last the children sat down and the little girl said:
"'What way is there?' I said. 'For me life is over!'
Title: Doctor Dolittle's Post Office"And not a bite to eat shall you ever have till I do,普拉多🔳" the Emir yelled.
The long journey was over at last.
"But just as they were about to begin on the fish (the soup was already gone,普拉多📟 you see),普拉多♏ there was a great noise outside the dining hall and in rushed another lot of little men,普拉多㊗ a bright red in color. These were The Toadstool Sprites,普拉多🍁 ancient enemies of the Cook Goblins. A tremendous fight began,普拉多🐻 one side using toothpicks for spears and the other using nut crackers for clubs. The pig took the side of his friends the Cook Goblins,普拉多⬛ and,普拉多🐕 being as big as any two of the enemy put together,普拉多♣ he soon had the Toadstool Sprites running for their lives.
"He hasn't any matches on him,普拉多😜" she shouted. "Not a single one."
