who can after a ah i � � them said the now in of the south in the old days the went on everything was thrown into the streets and we picked and chose those were dainty seasons but to day they keep their streets as clean as the outside of an egg and my people fly away to be clean is one thing to dust sweep and seven times a day the very gods themselves there was a down country had it from a brother who told me that in of the south all the were as fat as in the rains said the his mouth watering at the bare thought of it ah but the white faces are there � the english and they bring dogs from somewhere down the river in boats � big fat dogs � to keep those same lean said the the they are then as hard hearted as these people i might have known neither earth sky nor water shows charity to a i saw the tents of a white face last season after the rains and i also took a new yellow bridle to eat the white faces do not dress their leather in the proper way it made me very sick that was better than my case said the when i was in my third season a young and a bold bird i went down to the river where the big boats in the boats of the english are thrice as big as this village he has been as far as and says all the people there walk on their heads muttered the the opened his left eye and looked keenly at the it is true the big bird insisted a liar only lies when he hopes to be believed no one who had not seen those boats could believe this truth that is more reasonable said the and then from the of this boat they were taking out great pieces of white stuff which in a little while turned to water much split off and fell about on the shore and the rest they swiftly put into a house with thick walls but a the second book who laughed took a piece no larger than a small dog and threw it to me i � all my people � swallow without reflection and that piece i swallowed as is our custom immediately i was afflicted with an excessive cold which beginning in my crop ran down to the extreme end of my toes and deprived me even of speech while the laughed at me never have i felt such cold i danced in my grief and amazement till i could recover my breath and then i danced and cried out against the of this world and the me till they fell down the chief wonder of the matter setting aside that coldness was that there was nothing at all in my crop when i had finished my the had done his very best to describe his feelings after a seven pound lump of lake ice ofl an american in the days before made her ice by machinery but as he did not know what ice was and as the and the knew rather less the tale missed fire anything said the shutting his left eye again � anything is possible that comes out of a boat thrice the size of my village is not a small one the there was a whistle overhead on the bridge and the mail slid across all the carriages gleaming with light and the shadows faithfully following along the river it away into the dark again but the and the were so well used to it that they never turned their heads is that anything less wonderful than a boat thrice the size of said the bird looking up i saw that built child stone by stone i saw the bridge rise and when the men fell off they were wondrous sure footed for the most part � but when they fell i was ready after the first pier was made they never thought to look down the stream for the body to burn there again i saved much trouble there was nothing strange in the building of the bridge said the but that which goes across pulling the carts that is strange the repeated it is past any doubt a new breed of some day it will not be able to keep its up yonder and will fall as the men did the old will then be ready the looked at the and the looked at the if there was one the second book thing they were more certain of than another it was that the engine was everything in the wide world except a the had watched it time and again from the hedges by the side of the line and the had seen engines since the first ran in india but the had only looked up at the thing from below where the brass dome seemed rather like a s m � yes a new kind of the repeated to make himself quite sure in his own mind and certainly it is a said the and again it might be � began the certainly � most certainly said the without waiting for the other to finish what said the angrily for he could feel that the others knew more than he did what might it be never finished my words you said it was a it is anything the protector of the poor pleases i am his servant � not the servant of the thing that crosses the river whatever it is it is white face work said the and for my own part i would not lie out upon a place so near to it as this bar you do not know the english as i do said the the there was a white face here when the bridge was built
