I can smell Zebra , and I can hear Zebra , but I ca n't see Zebra . ' ` Wait a bit , said the Ethiopian . ` It 's a long time since we 've hunted 'em . Perhaps we 've forgotten what they were like . ' ` Fiddle ! ' said the Leopard . ' I remember them perfectly on the High Veldt , especially their marrow-bones . Giraffe is about seventeen feet high , of a ` sclusively fulvous golden-yellow from head to heel ; and Zebra is about four and a half feet high , of a ` sclusively grey-fawn colour from head to heel . ' ` Umm , said the Ethiopian , looking into the speckly-spickly shadows of the aboriginal Flora-forest . ` Then they ought to show up in this dark place like ripe bananas in a smokehouse . ' But they did n't . The Leopard and the Ethiopian hunted all day ; and though they could smell them and hear them , they never saw one of them . ` For goodness ' sake , ' said the Leopard at tea-time , ` let us wait till it gets dark . This daylight hunting is a perfect scandal . ' So they waited till dark , and then the Leopard heard something breathing sniffily in the starlight that fell all stripy through the branches , and he jumped at the noise , and it smelt like Zebra , and it felt like Zebra , and when he knocked it down it kicked like Zebra , but he could n't see it . So he said , ` Be quiet , O you person without any form . I am going to sit on your head till morning , because there is something about you that I do n't understand . ' Presently he heard a grunt and a crash and a scramble , and the Ethiopian called out , ` I 've caught a thing that I ca n't see . It smells like Giraffe , and it kicks like Giraffe , but it has n't any form . ' ` Do n't you trust it , ' said the Leopard .
` Sit on its head till the XXXXX -- same as me .
