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 know the tortoise . ' ' I do n't like this old lady at all -- at all , ' said Slow-and-Solid Tortoise . ` Even Painted Jaguar ca n't forget those directions . It 's a great pity that you ca n't swim , Stickly-Prickly . ' ` Do n't talk to me , ' said Stickly-Prickly . ` Just think how much better it would be if you could curl up . This is a mess ! Listen to Painted Jaguar . ' Painted Jaguar was sitting on the banks of the turbid Amazon sucking prickles out of his Paws and saying to himself -- ` Ca n't curl , but can swim -- Slow-Solid , that 's him ! Curls up , but ca n't swim -- Stickly-Prickly , that 's him ! ' ` He 'll never forget that this month of Sundays , ' said Stickly-Prickly . ` Hold up my chin , Slow-and-Solid . I 'm going to try to learn to swim . It may be useful . ' ` Excellent ! '
said Slow-and-Solid ; and he held up XXXXX 's chin , while Stickly-Prickly kicked in the waters of the turbid Amazon .
