Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? As the tribe continued their slow way through the forest after the passing of Sabor, Tarzan's head was filled with his great scheme for slaying his enemy, and for many days thereafter he thought of little else.


? ? ? ? On this day, however, he presently had other and more immediate interests to attract his attention.


? ? ? ? Suddenly it became as midnight; the noises of the jungle ceased; the trees stood motionless as though in paralyzed expectancy of some great and imminent disaster. All nature waited--but not for long.


? ? ? ? Faintly, from a distance, came a low, sad moaning. Nearer and nearer it approached, mounting louder and louder in volume.


? ? ? ? The great trees bent in unison as though pressed earthward by a mighty hand. Farther and farther toward the ground they inclined, and still there was no sound save the deep and awesome moaning of the wind.


? ? ? ? Then, suddenly, the jungle giants whipped back, lashing their mighty tops in angry and deafening protest.
