Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? "KA-GODA?" repeated Tarzan.


? ? ? ? "KA-GODA!" cried Terkoz.


? ? ? ? "Listen," said Tarzan, easing up a trifle, but not releasing his hold. "I am Tarzan, King of the Apes, mighty hunter, mighty fighter. In all the jungle there is none so great.


? ? ? ? "You have said: `KA-GODA' to me. All the tribe have heard. Quarrel no more with your king or your people, for next time I shall kill you. Do you understand?"


? ? ? ? "HUH," assented Terkoz.


? ? ? ? "And you are satisfied?"


? ? ? ? "HUH," said the ape.


? ? ? ? Tarzan let him up, and in a few minutes all were back at their vocations, as though naught had occurred to mar the tranquility of their primeval forest haunts.


? ? ? ? But deep in the minds of the apes was rooted the conviction that Tarzan was a mighty fighter and a strange creature. Strange because he had had it in his power to kill his enemy, but had allowed him to live--unharmed.
