“And， as you have seen， we were called together outside he straw.roofed hovel， night after night， and the fire as kindled， and the Ape brought forth out of the hovel omething upon four legs that I could not well see. And the eople and the Beasts bowed down and did honour to it. But thought， the Tarkaan is deceived by the Ape： for this thing hat comes out of the stable is neither Tash nor any other od. But when I watched the Tarkaan‘s face， and marked very word that he said to the Monkey， then I changed y mind： for I saw that the Tarkaan did not believe in it imself. And then I understood that he did not believe in ash at all： for if he had， how could he dare to mock him？ “When I understood this， a great rage fell upon me nd I wondered that the true Tash did not strike downboth the Monkey and the Tarkaan with fire from heaven. Nevertheless I hid my anger and held my tongue and waited to see how it would end. But last night， as some of you know， the Monkey brought not forth the yellow thing but said that all who desired to look upon Tashlan.for so they mixed the two words to pretend that they were all one.must pass one by one into the hovel. And I said to myself， Doubtless this is some other deception. But when the Cat had gone in and had come out again in a madness of terror， then I said to myself， Surely the true Tash， whom they called on without knowledge or belief， has now come among us， and will avenge himself. And though my heart was turned into water inside me because of the greatness and terror of Tash， yet my desire was stronger than my fear， and I put force upon my knees to stay them from trembling， and on my teeth that they should not chatter， and resolved to look upon the face of Tash though he should slay me. So I offered myself to go into the hovel； and the Tarkaan， though unwillingly， let me go.
