Would you like to have an ostrich

haps a little wagon or m of these

and they come high in this country.
If you think the ostrich Is too frisky
and maybe he Is, with his long legs

ride on the back Of a llama, though 1t

sort of camel-like animal that grows

much cold is bad for the llama. In
the western and southern regions of
South America this very interesting
animal lives and thrives. There are
many thousands Of them, just as there
are many thousands of cows in the
United States.
The South American people use the
llamas not only for their milk and

The peccary doesn't really look pig

belongs to the great hog family, which
is widely distributed over the world.
Now and then a wart hog or a wild

@OME along. now, children, and
your Uncle Bob will give you
~ a ride. What kind o. a ride
would you like best of all?
What-aeroplane? Mercy, no! That
machine that flies up into the sky and
over rivers and fields and towns is too
dangerous for children. 1t will be a
long time before the men who invent
things will build an aeroplane safe
enough to carry little one like you.
For the present you'd just better stick
to the earth and not try to go flying
away into the air.
So we won't think about taking an
'aeroplane ride yet. Automobile, did
you say? Well, Uncle Bob has no au-
tomobile for you today. but he has
something that's lots more fun. A
pony? Well. not exactly that. but it's
something that walks.
Wait till we get the bride on. There
take the reins and guide him. Why.
what a funny bird! Yes, he's an os-
trich. You never rode an ostrich. did
you? Some ostrlches are too bad tenn
pered for children to ride, but this one
has been tanned, and he's all right.
You don't need any saddle on him.
Just sit on his shoulders. with your
legs down along each side of his neck.
