THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
Why were all of the animals afraid of the rhinoceros?
How could the little hyenas hunt the big-nosed rhinoceros?
What could the Tree-dwellers learn by watching the wild animals hunt?

It had just rooted up an oak tree with its twin-tusked snout.
Now it was tearing the trunk into strips as we tear a stalk of celery.
The boys watched it grinding the wood with its great teeth.
