1. 'Just look here, Harry!' Dora called out.

A little milk had been spilt on the table, and two flies had found it
out.

'We won't wipe it up! Let us wait and see if they can take it all. See,
it is getting less! I wonder how they do it.'

2. 'There! one fly has gone. He has had enough. But this old fellow is
very thirsty. He does not look as if he were drinking, and yet the milk
goes. That long thing must be his mouth. Is it, mother?'

3. 'It is called his trunk. The mouth is at the end of it. He is very
clever with it. Do you know that he never eats? He only drinks.'
