But do n't be afraid . I 'm not coming over . '' The bullocks and the camel said , half aloud , `` Afraid of Two Tails -- what nonsense ! '' And the bullocks went on , `` We are sorry that you heard , but it is true . Two Tails , why are you afraid of the guns when they fire ? '' `` Well , '' said Two Tails , rubbing one hind leg against the other , exactly like a little boy saying a poem , `` I do n't quite know whether you 'd understand . '' `` We do n't , but we have to pull the guns , '' said the bullocks . `` I know it , and I know you are a good deal braver than you think you are . But it 's different with me . My battery captain called me a Pachydermatous Anachronism the other day . '' `` That 's another way of fighting , I suppose ? '' said Billy , who was recovering his spirits . `` You do n't know what that means , of course , but I do . It means betwixt and between , and that is just where I am . I can see inside my head what will happen when a shell bursts , and you bullocks ca n't . '' `` I can , '' said the troop-horse . `` At least a little bit . I try not to think about it . '' `` I can see more than you , and I do think about it . I know there 's a great deal of me to take care of , and I know that nobody knows how to cure me when I 'm sick .
All they can do is XXXXX stop my driver 's pay till I get well , and I ca n't trust my driver . ''
