“I am afraid I have to tell you, El-ahrairah, that I have strict orders from Lord Frith himself not to allow you to share a hole with Rabscuttle.”
“Not share a hole with Rabscuttle?” said El-ahrairah. “Why ever not?”
“El-ahrairah,” said Prince Rainbow, “we know you and your tricks: and
Rabscuttle is nearly as slippery as you are.
Both of you in one hole would be altogether too much of a good
thing. You would be stealing the clouds
out of the sky before the moon had changed twice.”
