“We've just had the elephant,” said George, “who belongs in Africa and Asia.
Suppose we talk about another animal of those countries, the monkey.”
“If you mean that the monkey belongs exclusively in Africa and Asia as the elephant does,” said Harry, “you're wrong. The monkey is found there, it is true, but he is also found in America and Europe.”
“I know he's found in America,” replied George, “but didn't know that he lived in Europe in a wild state. The only European monkeys I ever heard of were in captivity.”
“You're not far wrong, though,” Harry answered with a slight, laugh, “as there's only one place in Europe where monkeys run wild and that is on the Rock of Gibraltar.”
