I've never seen a Jaguar Nor yet an Armadill O dilloing in his armour And I s'pose I never will Unless I go to Rio These wonders to behold-- Roll down--roll down to Rio-- Roll really down to Rio! Oh I'd love to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old! HOW THE FIRST LETTER WAS WRITTEN ONCE upon a most early time was a Neolithic man. He was not a Jute or an Angle or even a Dravidian which he might well have been Best Beloved but never mind why. He was a Primitive and he lived cavily in a Cave and he wore very few clothes and he couldn't read and he couldn't write and he didn't want to and except when he was hungry he was quite happy. His name was Tegu! mai Bopsulai and that means 'Man-who-does-not-put-his-foot- forward-in-a-hurry'; but we O Best Beloved will call him Tegumai for short. And his wife's name was Teshumai Tewindrow and that means 'Lady-who-asks-a-very-many-questions'; but we O Best Beloved will call her Teshumai for short. And his little girl-daughter's name was Taffimai Metallumai and that means 'Small-person-without-any-manners-who-ought-to-be-spanked'; but I'm going to call her Taffy. And she was Tegumai Bopsulai's Best Beloved and her own Mummy's Best Beloved and she was not spanked half as much as was good for her; and they were all three very happy.

Really my Tegumai you're no better than my Taffy. ' Now attend and listen! One day Tegumai Bopsulai went d! own through the beaver-swamp to the Wagai river to spear carp-fish for dinner and Taffy went too. Tegumai's spear was made of wood with shark's teeth at the end and before he had caught any fish at all he accidentally broke it clean across by jabbing it down too hard on the bottom of the river. They were miles and miles from home (of course they had their lunch with them in a little bag) and Tegumai had forgotten to bring any extra spears. 'Here's a pretty kettle of fish!' said Tegumai. 'It will take me half the day to mend this. ' 'There's your big black spear at home ' said Taffy. 'Let me run back to the Cave and ask Mummy to give it me. ' 'It's too far for your little fat legs ' said Tegumai. 'Besides you might fall into the beaver-swamp and be drowned. We must make the best of a bad job. ' He sat down and took out a little leather mendy-bag full of reindeer-sinews and strips of leather and lumps of bee's-wax and resin and began to mend the spear. Taffy sat down too with her toes in the water and her. dw6d8e467868t68zxvsdtg57758ghjvser
