ETHIOPIA.
TIME Kenuya folk serve us with
meal which includes rice, cof-
fee, coconuts and beef, a
l. rather civilized repast!
Much of the land in Kenya
is high. The climate of the highlands
is suited to growing coffee and to the
raising of cattle, wheat and Indian
corn. In the lowlands the natives
have crops Of rice, coconuts and cotton.
Next morning We cross the border
of Ethiopia-or, as 1t Is sometimes
called, Abyssinia.
At last we have reached a free
country" Ethiopia Is q member OF the
League of Nations and is proud to
point to long history.
The ruler of Ethiopia Is known as
Negus Negust, meaning king OF
Kings" If we could believe a native
story, his ancestry has been traced
back to the son of the Queen of Sheba.
The Queen of Sheba made her home
In Southern Arabia and it is not very
likel yany son of hers ruled over Eth
opia, but the story is told.
Below us We see stretches OF lovely
scenery. Because of its snow-clad
mountain peaks, its lakes, waterfalls
and deep canyons, Ethiopia has been
called "the Switzerland of Africa"
1t is a far larger country than
Switzerland, having an area greater
than that of Germany and France
combined. The population Is about
1000, 900.
We want to reach the capital city

too good opinion Of their own smart
ness and Unexpectedly learn that there
are others quite as smart as they. It
happened to Old Man Coyote. He had
made a clever plan to catch Jerry
Muskrat. He was sure that If he didn't
catch Jerry-Buster Bear would. It
was a clever plan and very simple
plan. He knew that Jerry was under
q pile of rocks beside the Laughing
Brook in the Green Forest. Buster
Bear had driven him there for safety
and then had vainly tried to get him
out. Old Man Coyote happened along
and right away suggested plan he
was sure would succeed.
He knew that Jerry Muskrat was on
his way to his home In the Smiling
Pool down on the Green Meadows and
he guessed that he was anxious to get
there. He was sure that Jerry would
take the first opportunity to get out
from under that rock pile. He knew
that a short distance down the Laugh
ing Brook was a place where the water
was so swift that Jerry would be
obliged to travel along the bank to get
around it. One bank was steep and
high while the other bank was much
lower and easier to travel. This would
be the one that Jerry naturally would
use. So he suggested that Buster Bear
wade across and go hide near the lower
end of that stretch of swift water
while he would do the same thing on
the side where the bank was lower.
So Buster Bear and Old Man Coyote
went down the Laughing Brook and
hid Just below that swift water. Jerry
Muskrat did Just what Old Man Coyote
had thought he would do, came out
Just as soon as he was sure that the
way was clear and at once plunged into
the Laughing Brook. Once in the
water he felt safe. But then Jerry did
