Listen to Painted Jaguar . ' Painted Jaguar was sitting on the banks of the turbid Amazon sucking prickles out of his Paws and saying to himself -- ` Ca n't curl , but can swim -- Slow-Solid , that 's him ! Curls up , but ca n't swim -- Stickly-Prickly , that 's him ! ' ` He 'll never forget that this month of Sundays , ' said Stickly-Prickly . ` Hold up my chin , Slow-and-Solid . I 'm going to try to learn to swim . It may be useful . ' ` Excellent ! ' said Slow-and-Solid ; and he held up Stickly-Prickly 's chin , while Stickly-Prickly kicked in the waters of the turbid Amazon . ` You 'll make a fine swimmer yet , ' said Slow-and-Solid . ` Now , if you can unlace my back-plates a little , I 'll see what I can do towards curling up . It may be useful . ' Stickly-Prickly helped to unlace Tortoise 's back-plates , so that by twisting and straining Slow-and-Solid actually managed to curl up a tiddy wee bit . ` Excellent ! ' said Stickly-Prickly ; ` but I should n't do any more just now . It 's making you black in the face . Kindly lead me into the water once again and I 'll practice that side-stroke which you say is so easy . ' And so Stickly-Prickly practiced , and Slow-Solid swam alongside . ` Excellent ! ' said Slow-and-Solid . '
A little more practice will XXXXX you a regular whale .
