"
You shall be taken before his great and glorious Majesty King Kik-a-bray, who  
will greet you as becomes your exalted stations."  
"
That's right," answered Dorothy. "Take us to some one who knows  
something."  
"
Oh, we all know something, my child, or we shouldn't be donkeys," asserted  
the grey one, with dignity. "The word 'donkey' means 'clever,' you know."  
"
"
I didn't know it," she replied. "I thought it meant 'stupid'."  
Not at all, my child. If you will look in the Encyclopedia Donkaniara you will  
find I'm correct. But come; I will myself lead you before our splendid, exalted,  
and most intellectual ruler."  
All donkeys love big words, so it is no wonder the grey one used so many of  
them.
