The child ordered the elephant to rise on his hind legs.

He placed his fore legs on the roof of the baboon's cage, which caved in, rather disturbing the elephant's calm.

He sank to the ground.
The baboon leaped through the opening and made off to test this unexpected liberty.

He was friendly and tame, but freedom was just then paramount.
The elephant remained under the trees, as if pondering, while the child began to cry loudly.

One of the natives saw her predicament and hastened away for assistance.
Achmed was greatly alarmed over the loss of the baboon.
