[edit] Story

Mr. Dizzy lives in Cleverland, where everybody is clever except for him - until, one day, because a pig and an elephant take advantage of him, he wishes himself clever, drinking from a wishing well but unaware of its magical properties. He returns and asks the pig, "What's fat and pink and goes Achoo, Achoo?" The pig is flummoxed until Mr. Dizzy tickles the pig's nose, causing him to sneeze and say, "Achoo! Achoo!" Next he asks the elephant, "What's large and grey and goes Dopit, Dopit?" The elephant is clueless until Mr. Dizzy ties a knot in the elephant's trunk, causing him to declare, "Dopit! Dopit!" and, addressing the readers, "I duppose doo dink dat's fuddy."
