I only wanted to know which of you is Hedgehog and which is Tortoise . ' ' I sha n't tell you , ' said Stickly-Prickly , ` but you can scoop me out of my shell if you like . ' ` Aha ! ' said Painted Jaguar . ` Now I know you 're Tortoise . You thought I would n't ! Now I will . ' Painted Jaguar darted out his paddy-paw just as Stickly-Prickly curled himself up , and of course Jaguar 's paddy-paw was just filled with prickles . Worse than that , he knocked Stickly-Prickly away and away into the woods and the bushes , where it was too dark to find him . Then he put his paddy-paw into his mouth , and of course the prickles hurt him worse than ever . As soon as he could speak he said , ` Now I know he is n't Tortoise at all . But ' -- and then he scratched his head with his un-prickly paw -- ` how do I know that this other is Tortoise ? ' ` But I am Tortoise , ' said Slow-and-Solid . Your mother was quite right . She said that you were to scoop me out of my shell with your paw . Begin . ' ` You did n't say she said that a minute ago , said Painted Jaguar , sucking the prickles out of his paddy-paw . ` You said she said something quite different . ' ` Well , suppose you say that I said that she said something quite different , I do n't see that it makes any difference ; because if she said what you said I said she said , it 's just the same as if I said what she said she said . On the other hand , if you think she said that you were to uncoil me with a scoop , instead of pawing me into drops with a shell , I ca n't help that , can I ? '
` But you XXXXX you wanted to be scooped out of your shell with my paw , ' said Painted Jaguar .
