071- A Wild Ride

Jerry of the circus. Before Jerry of the circus. I'm going to say, oh, I'm stopping all right. I did.

How's that, Jerry? You want to get down, yes? I'll say. I get down. Yeah, the great show you put on Jerry. Beats me what one little word will do, Carmen? If it is the right word.

What did you say to him, Carmen? Only alto. That means to stop. I guess that's the first thing I should have learned to say in Spanish. It would have saved me an awful rough ride.

You were bouncing, Aunt Jerry. I'll say I was. It's harder to stay up on an elephant's head when he's running than it is to ride a bucking bronco. Oh, oh, oh, he's all right, Rags.

Rags, you know what? It's all your fault. Yes, it is. What do you mean, Jerry? Poor Rags did not make El Mundo run for fast. El Mundo, he is used to do. It's like this, Carmen.

Jerry wanted rags to quit chasing after El Mundoneel's bamos to him. Yeah, no mulo thought I meant it for him. Oh, that is too bad. Never say vamos. That means how you say beat it, run faster.

Yeah, I found that out. Well, come on, let's get this fellow back where he belongs in the menagerie. I mean, go along with you, yes. Come on, El. Sure, come on. Come on, I... Well, my first open ride was your first one.

But you will never be afraid now. That was good, it happened so. Oh, Mundo didn't seem afraid. All the people shouting at him and all the excitement and all he kept right on going around and around the backyard.
