I do n't see how we can draw them . ' ` But I do -- but I do ! ' said Tegumai . ` Just attend a minute , Taffy , and we wo n't do any more to-day . We 've got shu-ya all right , have n't we ? But this las is a teaser . La-la-la ' and he waved his shark-tooth . ` There 's the hissy-snake at the end and the carp-mouth before the snake -- as-as-as . We only want la-la , ' said Taffy . ' I know it , but we have to make la-la . And we 're the first people in all the world who 've ever tried to do it , Taffimai ! ' ` Well , ' said Taffy , yawning , for she was rather tired . ` Las means breaking or finishing as well as ending , does n't it ? ' ` So it does , ' said Tegumai . ` To-las means that there 's no water in the tank for Mummy to cook with -- just when I 'm going hunting , too . ' ` And shi-las means that your spear is broken . If I 'd only thought of that instead of drawing silly beaver pictures for the Stranger ! ' ` La ! La ! La ! '
said XXXXX , waiving his stick and frowning .
