I told him truthfully that I was a truthful Tortoise , but he would n't believe it , and he made me jump into the river to see if I was , and I was , and he is surprised . Now he 's gone to tell his Mummy . Listen to him ! ' They could hear Painted Jaguar roaring up and down among the trees and the bushes by the side of the turbid Amazon , till his Mummy came . ` Son , son ! ' said his mother ever so many times , graciously waving her tail , ` what have you been doing that you should n't have done ? ' ' I tried to scoop something that said it wanted to be scooped out of its shell with my paw , and my paw is full of per-ickles , ' said Painted Jaguar . ` Son , son ! ' said his mother ever so many times , graciously waving her tail , ` by the prickles in your paddy-paw I see that that must have been a Hedgehog . You should have dropped him into the water . ' I did that to the other thing ; and he said he was a Tortoise , and I did n't believe him , and it was quite true , and he has dived under the turbid Amazon , and he wo n't come up again , and I have n't anything at all to eat , and I think we had better find lodgings somewhere else . They are too clever on the turbid Amazon for poor me ! ' ` Son , son ! ' said his mother ever so many times , graciously waving her tail , ` now attend to me and remember what I say . A Hedgehog curls himself up into a ball and his prickles stick out every which way at once . By this you may know the Hedgehog . ' ' I do n't like this old lady one little bit , ' said Stickly-Prickly , under the shadow of a large leaf . ' I wonder what else she knows ? ' ' A Tortoise ca n't curl himself up , ' Mother Jaguar went on , ever so many times , graciously waving her tail . ` He only draws his head and legs into his shell .
By this you may XXXXX the tortoise . ' '
