Around The World in 80 Days

Are you referring to chapter 12? From the text:

The worthy fellow bounced from the elephant's neck to his rump, and vaulted like a clown on a spring–board; yet he laughed in the midst of his bouncing, and from time to time took a piece of sugar out of his pocket, and inserted it in Kiouni's trunk, who received it without in the least slackening his regular trot.
