130 SHOWMAN.
I think that extraordinary animal the Ostrich, both on account of its size and its various singularities, should be the first to claim our notice this afternoon. Have we an Ostrich in the Menagerie ?
FIRST YOUTH.
I am an Ostrich.
SHOWMAN.
From Africa, I presume ?
OSTRICH.
In that country chiefly are \ve found. We inhabit from preference the most soli- tary and horrid deserts, where there are few vegetables to clothe the surface of the earth, and where the rain never comes to refres...h it. In these regions, we are seen in immense flocks, which to the distant spectator appear like whole regiments of cavalry, and are sometimes mistaken for such by the caravans which cross the de- serts, and have troops of plundering Arabs continually before them in imagination.
131 There is no tract of country too barren to afford us sustenance, as the very stones are a part of our ordinary provision, and we devour leather, hair, wood, and even glass and iron. We are so extremely voracious, that one of our species was once killed by swallowing quick lime.
