So the ①(with / monkeys / back / traveled) the pushmi-pullyu. And when they came to where the Doctor's little house of grass was, they knocked on the door.
The duck, who was packing the trunk, said, "Come in!"
And Chee-Chee very ②*(patiently : narrowly : proudly : annually) took the animal inside and showed him to the Doctor.
"What in the world is it?" asked John Dolittle, ③*(gazing : suggesting : proving : recalling) at the strange creature.
"Lord save us!" cried the duck. "How does it make up its mind?"
"It doesn't look to me as though it had any," said Jip, the dog.
"This, Doctor," said Chee-Chee, "is the pushmi-pullyu—the rarest animal of the African jungles, the only two-headed ④*(view : beast : device : habit) in the world! Take him home with you and your fortune's made. People will pay any money to see him."
"But I don't want any money," said the Doctor.
"Yes, you do," said Dab-Dab, the duck. "Don't you ⑤(how / remember / had / we) to pinch and scrape to pay the butcher's bill in Puddleby? And how are you going to get the sailor the new boat you spoke of—⑥**(because : unless : although : since) we have the money to buy it?"
"I was going to make him one," said the Doctor.
"Oh, do be ⑦**(sensible : negative : sensitive : efficient)!" cried Dab-Dab. "Where would you get all the wood and the nails to make one with?—And besides, what are we going to live on? We shall be poorer than ever when we get back. Chee-Chee's ⑧*(stupidly : eagerly : perfectly : generously)right: take the funny-looking thing along, do!"
"Well, perhaps there is something ⑨(say / you / what / in)," ⑩**(astonished : murmured : cheated : pleaded) the Doctor. "It certainly would make a nice new kind of pet. But does the er—what-do-you-call-it really want to go ⑪**(curiously : abroad : wildly : mutually)?"
"Yes, I'll go," said the pushmi-pullyu who saw at once, from the Doctor's face, that he was a man to be ⑫(treated : satisfied : confirmed : trusted). "You have been so kind to the animals here—and the monkeys tell me that I am the only one who will do. But you must promise me that if I do ⑬(it / not / in / like) the Land of the White Men you will send me back."
"Why, ⑭**(particularly : certainly : vacantly : enormously)—of course, of course," said the Doctor. "Excuse me, surely you are ⑮*(referred : added : offered : related) to the Deer Family, are you not?"
"Yes," said the pushmi-pullyu—"to the Abyssinian Gazelles and the Asiatic Chamois—on my mother's side. My father's great-grandfather was the last of the Unicorns."
"Most interesting!" murmured the Doctor; and he took a book out of the trunk which Dab-Dab was packing and began turning the pages. "Let us see if Buffon says anything—"
"I notice," said the duck, "that you only ⑯(of / talk / one / with ) your mouths. Can't the other head talk as well?"
"Oh, yes," said the pushmi-pullyu. "But I ⑰*(get : keep : take : give) the other mouth for eating—mostly. In that way I can talk while I am eating without being ⑱*(lazy : rude : proper : casual). Our people have always been very polite."
When the packing was finished and everything ⑲(to / was / start / ready ), the monkeys gave a grand party for the Doctor, and all the animals of the jungle came. And they had pineapples and mangoes and honey and all sorts of good things to eat and drink.
After they had all finished eating, the Doctor got up and said,
"My friends: I am not clever at speaking long words after dinner, like some men; and I have just eaten many fruits and much honey. But I wish to tell you that I am very sad at leaving your beautiful country. Because I have things to do in the Land of the White Men, I must go. After I have gone, remember never to let the flies ⑳(settle : depend : insist : reflect)on your food before you eat it; and do not sleep on the ground when the rains are coming. I—er—er—I hope you will all live happily ever after."
