One For Topsy
Topsy, a circus elephant, was plodding her lumbering wa- along a Marlborough highway in search of a bathing hole when she was overtaken by a petrol wagon. Unable to pass, its driver was forced to pull up alongside. Instantly a questing trunk was thrust through the open window of the cab and. as the luckless occupant dived for safety through the other door, Topsy took a deep and anticipatory breath. Amid a noise suggestive of an outsize in vacuum cleaners a collection of competition tickets, tucked for safekeeping along the top ot the windscreen, vanished for ever.
