you to speak a little more loudly�察�and make the matter quite clear�拭�I am a 

little slow of understanding。 Now what was it�拭─�

     ;Do you think�察─�said the Brahmin�察 �it is right for this Tiger to eat me�察�

when I set him free from his cage�拭─�

     ;What cage�拭─�said the little Jackal。 

     ;Why�察�the cage he was in�察─�said the Brahmin。 ;You see; 

     ;But I don't altogether understand�察─�said the little Jackal�察 �You `set him 

free��' you say�拭─�

     ;Yes�察�yes�察�yes� ─�said the Brahmin。 

     ;It was this way�此�I was walking along�察�and I saw the Tiger; 

     ;Oh�察�dear�察�dear� ─�interrupted the little Jackal�察 �I never can see through 

it�察�if you go on like that�察�with a long story。 If you really want my opinion 

you must make the matter clear。 What sort of cage was it�拭─�

     ;Why�察�a big�察�ordinary cage�察�an iron cage�察─�said the Brahmin。 

     ;That   gives   me   no   idea   at   all�察─  �said   the   little   Jackal。   ;See   here�察  �my 

friends�察�if we are to get on with this matter you'd best show me the spot。 

Then I can understand in a jiffy。 Show me the cage。; 

     So the Brahmin�察�the Tiger�察�and the little Jackal walked back together to 

the spot where the cage was。 

     ;Now�察�let us understand the situation�察─�said the little Jackal。 ;Brahmin�察�

where were you�拭─�

     ;I stood here by the roadside�察─�said the Brahmin。 

     ;Tiger�察�where were you�拭─�said the little Jackal。 

     ;Why�察�in the cage�察�of course�察─�roared the Tiger。

     ;Oh�察�I beg your pardon�察�Father Tiger�察─�said the little Jackal�察 �I really 

am   SO   stupid�察  �I   cannot   QUITE   understand   what   happened。   If   you   will 

have a  little  patience��HOW were   you   in the cage�拭  �What   position   were 

you in�拭─�

     ;I   stood   here�察─  �said   the   Tiger�察  �leaping   into   the   cage�察   �with   my   head 

over my shoulder�察�so。; 

     ;Oh�察   �thank    you�察  �thank   you�察─   �said  the   little  Jackal�察  �that   makes    it 

MUCH        clearer�察  �but   I  still  don't  QUITE     understandforgive       my    slow

     ;Can't you see that the door shut me in�拭─�said the Tiger。 

     ;Oh�察�I do beg your pardon�察─�said the little Jackal。 ;I know I am very 

slow�察�I can never understand things well unless I see just how they were if 

you could show me now exactly how that door works I am sure I could 

understand。 How does it shut�拭─�

     ;It shuts like this�察─�said the Brahmin�察�pushing it to。 

     ;Yes�察�but I don't see any lock�察─�said the little Jackal�察 �does it lock on 

the outside�拭─�

     ;It locks like this�察─�said the Brahmin。 And he shut and bolted the door� �

     ;Oh�察�does it�察�indeed�拭─�said the little Jackal。 ;Does it�察�INDEED� �Well�察�

Brother Brahmin�察�now that it is locked�察�I should advise you to let it stay 

locked� �As for you�察�my friend�察─�he said to the Tiger�察 �I think you will wait 

a good while before you'll find any one to let you out again� �

     Then he made a very low bow to the Brahmin。 

     ;Good´by�察 �Brother�察─  �he   said。   ;Your   way  lies   that   way�察  �and   mine   lies

           THE LITTLE JACKAL AND THE CAMEL 



       All these stories about the little Jackal that I have told you�察�show how 

clever the little Jackal was。 But you knowif you don't�察�you will when you 

are   grown   up   that   no   matter   how   clever   you   are�察  �sooner   or   later   you 

surely meet some one who is cleverer。 It is always so in life。 And it was so 

with the little Jackal。 This is what happened。 

     The   little   Jackal   was�察  �as   you   know�察  �exceedingly   fond   of   shell´fish�察�

especially of river crabs。 Now there came a time when he had eaten all the 

crabs   to   be   found   on   his   own   side   of   the   river。   He   knew   there   must   be 

plenty  on   the   other   side�察  �if   he   could   only  get   to   them�察  �but   he   could   not 

swim。 

     One day he thought of a plan。 He went to his friend the Camel�察�and 

said�察�

     ;Friend Camel�察  �I   know a   spot   where   the sugar´cane grows   thick�察  �I'll 

show you the way�察�if you will take me there。; 

     ;Indeed   I   will�察─  �said   the   Camel�察  �who   was   very   fond   of   sugar´cane。 

;Where is it�拭─�

     ;It is on the other side of the river�察─�said the little Jackal�察 �but we can 

manage it nicely�察�if you will take me on your back and swim over。; 

     The   Camel   was   perfectly   willing�察  �so   the   little   Jackal   jumped   on   his 

back�察�and the Camel swam across the river�察�carrying him。 When they were 

safely   over�察  �the   little   Jackal   jumped   down   and   showed   the   Camel   the 

sugar´cane field�察�then he ran swiftly along the river bank�察�to hunt for crabs�察�

the   Camel   began   to   eat   sugar´cane。   He   ate   happily�察  �and   noticed   nothing 

around him。 

     Now�察  �you   know�察  �a   Camel   is   very   big�察  �and   a   Jackal   is   very   little。 

Consequently�察�the little Jackal had eaten his fill by the time the Camel had 

barely taken a mouthful。 The little Jackal had no mind to wait for his slow 

friend�察  �he   wanted   to   be   off   home   again�察  �about   his   business。   So   he   ran 

round and round the sugar´cane field�察�and as he ran he sang and shouted�察�

and made a great hullabaloo。 

     Of course�察�the villagers heard him at once。 

     ;There is a Jackal in the sugar´cane�察─�they said�察 �he will dig holes and 

destroy   the   roots�察  �we   must   go   down   and   drive   him   out。;   So   they   came 

down�察�with sticks and stones。 When they got there�察�there was no Jackal to 

be seen�察�but they saw the great Camel�察�eating away at the juicy sugar´ cane。 

They ran at him and beat him�察�and stoned him�察�and drove him away half 

dead。 

     When   they   had   gone�察  �leaving   the   poor   Camel   half   killed�察  �the   little 

Jackal came dancing back from somewhere or other。 

     ;I think it's time to go home�察�now�察─�he said�察 �don't you�拭─�

     ;Well�察 �you   ARE  a   pretty  friend� ─  �said the   Camel。  ;The   idea   of   your 

making   such   a   noise�察  �with   your   shouting   and   singing�   �You   brought   this 

upon   me。   What   in   the   world   made   you   do   it�拭  �Why   did   you   shout   and 

sing�拭─�

     ;Oh�察�I don't know WHY�察─�said the little Jackal�察�I always sing after 

dinner� ─�

     ;So�拭─�said the Camel�察 �Ah�察�very well�察�let us go home now。; 

     He took the little Jackal kindly on his back and started into the water。 

When   he   began   to   swim   he   swam   out   to   where   the   river   was   the   very 

deepest。 There he stopped�察�and said�察�

     ;Oh�察�Jackal� ─�

     ;Yes�察─  �said   the   little   Jackal。   ;I   have   the   strangest   feeling�察─  �said   the 

Camel�察�I feel as if I must roll over。; 

     ;`Roll over'� ─�cried the Jackal。 ;My goodness�察�don't do that� �If you do 

that�察 �you'll   drown   me�   �What   in   the   world   makes   you   want   to   do   such   a 

crazy thing�拭�Why should you want to roll over�拭─�

     ;Oh�察  �I   don't   know   WHY�察─  �said   the   Camel   slowly�察   �but   I   always   roll 

over after dinner� ─�

     So he rolled over。 

     And   the little Jackal   was   drowned�察 �for his   sins�察 �but   the  Camel   came 

safely home。 



                       THE GULLS OF SALT LAKE 



       The    story   I  am   going    to  tell  you    is  about   something      that   really 

happened�察�many years ago�察�when most of the mothers and fathers of the 

children here were not born�察�themselves。 At that time�察�nearly all the people 

in the United States lived between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi 

River。   Beyond   were   plains�察  �reaching   to   the   foot   of   the   mighty   Rocky 

Mountains�察  �where   Indians   and   wild   beasts   roamed。   The   only  white   men 

there were a few hunters and trappers。 

     One year a brave little company of people traveled across the plains in 

big covered wagons with many horses�察�and finally succeeded in climbing 

to the top of the great Rockies and down again into a valley in the very

midst   of the   mountains。  It   was   a   valley  of   brown�察  �bare�察 �desert   soil�察 �in   a 

climate   where   almost   no   rain   falls�察  �but   the   snows   on   the   mountain´tops
