The story of Little Black Sambo (5 完)

And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still 
they would not let go of each others' tails.

And they were so angry that they ran round the tree,
trying to each other up, and they ran faster and faster,
till they were　whirling round so fast that you couldn't see
their legs at all. 

And they still ran faster and faster and faster, 
till they all just melted away,
and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted
butter(or "ghi,"　as it is called in India,) 
round the foot of the tree.



Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his
work, with a great big brass　pot in his arms, 
and when he saw　what was left of all the Tigers
he said,　"Oh! What lovely melted butter!
I'll take that home to　Black Mumbo for her
to cook with." 

So he put it all into the great big brass pot,
and took it home to Black Mumbo to cook with.


When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, 
wasn't she pleased !

"Now," said she, "we'll all have pancakes for supper !" 

So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, 
and she made a huge big plate of most lovely pancakes.

And she fried them in the melted butter which
the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow
and brown as little Tigers.


And then they all sat down to supper. 


And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven pancakes, 
and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five, 
but Little Black Sambo ate a Hundred and Sixty-nine, 
because he was so hungry.
