Gradually he associates perspective
with distance. He is able to theorize
about blocks and miles simply by
judging the converging lines of streets

claimed.
Surely. l live here!'
We came to the snake pit, where
deadly things from the Zone jungles
crawled about amongst little rock
pools. The doctor climbed over the
shiny wall and dropped amongst this
fearsome family.

But DR.. Garcia, grinning good

our inspection snake whose bite
would have meant almost certain
death. 1t was rare specimen: there
are few venomous reptiles in this area.
Then - Paddy had to turn away -
he captured a sinister. agile thing
which was trying to climb the shiny
wall, an enormous rd-catchng spider;
its body the size of a hens egg, its legs
resembling a mans fingers and en-
tirely covered with black hair! This
kicking monstrosity he held up to US.
Paddy was staring about her help

"Although the dam is half mile
