"Once upon time there lived little
negro, called Tibbee. He lived in a little
hut on the Congo River. He could
shoot with bow and arrow. Some
times he would go and drive the balloons
away from the corntieId He would go
in the morning, and stay until his par
ents would call HIM to come home. He
would make little hut and clay dishes
and mats. His sister would help her
mother make cloth. In the morning
she would pound corn and make meal
for porridge. For supper they ate eggs,
fresh fish and corn porridge, and for
sweet food they ate bananas and sugar
cane. They 60 to bed before dark be-
cause they have no lamps. They have
no books nor schools, as we have. IT
yon would show Tibbee picture of
lion he would not know what it meant.
He never saw picture in his life.'
