I suppose you fellows fight standing on your tails ? '' `` Only one way , '' said the two together . -LRB- They must have been twins . -RRB- `` This is that way . To put all twenty yoke of us to the big gun as soon as Two Tails trumpets . '' -LRB- `` Two Tails '' is camp slang for the elephant . -RRB- `` What does Two Tails trumpet for ? '' said the young mule . `` To show that he is not going any nearer to the smoke on the other side . Two Tails is a great coward . Then we tug the big gun all together -- Heya -- Hullah ! Heeyah ! Hullah ! We do not climb like cats nor run like calves . We go across the level plain , twenty yoke of us , till we are unyoked again , and we graze while the big guns talk across the plain to some town with mud walls , and pieces of the wall fall out , and the dust goes up as though many cattle were coming home . '' `` Oh ! And you choose that time for grazing ? '' said the young mule . `` That time or any other . Eating is always good .
We eat till we are yoked up again and tug the XXXXX back to where Two Tails is waiting for it .
