Question. 
Who it is that goes with twinkling feet ? 
Who that goes hastily away ? 
Who that proudly carries his head ? 
Whose young one goes slinking off ?

’Tis the mungoose goes with twinkling feet. 
The jackal goes hastily away. 
The hyaena who proudly carries his head. 
Whose young one goes slinking off.
