42 "THE SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON |
||
|
Fritz asked me to let him drag the dead jackal towards the tent, that he might exhibit it the next morning to his brothers. I thought, however, that Turk and Flora might want to eat it, and advised him to leave it. However, he was anxious to try to keep it, and pulled it up near a rock by the entrance to the tent.
Oddly enough, the younger boys slept so soundly that they had not even been awakened by the firing of the guns. So we lay down by their side till day began to break. |
