Long, long ago, there was a war between the birds and the beasts. No one
knows what they fought about.
The bat did not know whose side he
should take. He thought and thought, then decided he must try to be on
the side of the winners.
So he watched from far away. After a while,

This happened in London. It was November and the weather was very
wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day
and night. So he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As
he did not know much English, he got out his dictionary and looked
up the word
“
cough
”
But. the dictionary did not tell him how to
pronounce the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had
learned the word
“
plough
”
. He remembered that it was pronounced [plau].
The he put

there was always a small space left untouched. I also found groups of ants
near the tracks of the camel. They were pulling pieces of corn. From these
facts I was able to tell what goods the animal was
carrying.

The judge and the two men were satisfied with what the Arab
had said. Together the four men set out to look for the lost animal.
