He asked his tall uncle, the Giraffe, what made his skin spotty, and his tall uncle, the Giraffe, spanked him with his hard, hard hoof. He asked his tall aunt, the Ostrich, why her tail-feathers grew just so, and his tall aunt the Ostrich spanked him with her hard, hard claw. And he lived in Africa, and he filled all Africa with his 'satiable curtiosities. But there was one Elephant-a new Elephant-an Elephant's Child-who was full of 'satiable curtiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side but he couldn't pick up things with it. Kipling died in 1936.IN the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk. He was the first writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1907, and in 1926 he received the Gold Medal of the royal Society of Literature. Kipling was the recipient of many honorary degrees and other awards. From 1902 Kipling made his home in Sussex, but continued to travel widely and caught his first glimpse of warfare in South Africa, where he reported in the Boer War. Tales of every kind, including historical and science fiction, continued to flow from his pen, including Kim (1901) and the Just So Stories (1902). Published in 1894, it became a children's classic all over the world. After their marriage, Kipling and his wife moved to Vermont, where he wrote The Jungle Book. There, he produced stories, sketches and poems that made him a literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1888. He was educated in England but returned to India as an adult and worked as a journalist. Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865.
