“ But just then Mother Elephant opened the door and said, "You naughty Little Elephant! Get back into bed this minute. Don't you know you have a cold and mustn't get in a draught?"
But Little Elephant said, "Honesd, Mama! I habed' god a gold any more. I feel fi'd. I wand do go oud and roller-skade."
Then Mother Elephant was very severe and shook her trunk at Little Elephant. "If you don't behave yourself I'll have to give you another dose of this castor oil." And she picked up the big bottle beside his bed. ”

“ She put them on and looked at the thermometer.
"Hmmmm! That's good," she said. "Now let me see your throat." Little Elephant opened his mouth very wide. "Say 'A-a-h-h!'" she told him.
"A-a-a-h-h-h-h-h!" said Little Elephant very loud.
But Mother remembered what had happened to the doctor's high silk hat, and grabbed her nightcap just in time.
"Yes, you can go out today," she said.
"Ye-e-e-y!" shouted Little Elephant and dashed out of the room.
"Look at my fever, it's all gone!"
In a minute Mother Elephant heard him galumphing down the stairs three steps at a time. ”

“ Then she popped him into bed with a hot water bottle at his feet, and gave him a large glass of hot lemonade to drink, with two straws in it.
Then Mother Elephant sat down beside the bed and read Little Elephant the story called How The Elephant Got His Trunk. As she read Little Elephant grew hotter and hotter and hotter. ”
