CHAPTER IV
THE ANIMALS
While their mother went to the river to get baby sister a drink of water, the brother and sister played among the trees.
As they ran to and fro they stopped to listen to the call of the birds and to watch the squirrels as they frisked about.
“What is that, Rago?” said Goni, pointing to something very near.
“They are wild hogs,” said Rago.
“See how the young ones gather close to their mother.”
“They are afraid to leave her.”
“Their mother is digging into the earth among the roots of the tree. She is looking for food for her children,” said Rago.
