Safety from the wild beasts of the forests, those that cry by night, and howl and prowl and kill ; safety from the serpents, whose sting is death, shelter, protection, from all the dark, lurking dangers of the jungle — the evil, mighty forests, at whose edge, between it and the winding yellow rivers, they build them- selves their homes. Yes, but life is very easy here, just the same. A little stirring of the [122] MISUNDERSTANDING rich earth in the clearings, and food springs forth. A httle pad...dling up the stream or down, in a pirogue or a sampan, a net strung across the sluggish waters, and there is food again. A little wading in shallow, sunlit pools, a swift strike with a trident, and a fish is caught. And fruit hangs heavy from the trees. Life is very easy in these countries. And with the coming of the sudden sunset of the Tropics, the evening fires are hghted in the compounds and there is gathering together, with song and laughter, rest and ease. So as life is very facile in the jungle, love of money is unknown.
