The Arabian coffee maker, having
prepared his fire of charcoal and placed
near it huge pot containing water,
takes a few handfuls Of green coffee
berries, carefully culls out all imperfect
berries and foreign substances and
then places the best Of the berries in an

being stirred with a spoon when it
shows signs of boiling over. The coffee
is then served in small cups without

There is nothing to make one realize

The voyage forms a perfect introduc.

You have no rainfall to bother you,
no local streams, no complex denuda-

midst runs the one long line Of allu-

villages are built of it, the land is
MANFRED with it, the very air is full
