Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? That afternoon as the tribe came together, as was their wont before darkness settled on the jungle, Tarzan, his wounds washed in the waters of the stream, called the old males about him.


? ? ? ? "You have seen again to-day that Tarzan of the Apes is the greatest among you," he said.


? ? ? ? "HUH," they replied with one voice, "Tarzan is great."


? ? ? ? "Tarzan," he continued, "is not an ape. He is not like his people. His ways are not their ways, and so Tarzan is going back to the lair of his own kind by the waters of the great lake which has no farther shore. You must choose another to rule you, for Tarzan will not return."


? ? ? ? And thus young Lord Greystoke took the first step toward the goal which he had set--the finding of other white men like himself.



His Own Kind


? ? ? ? The following morning, Tarzan, lame and sore from the wounds of his battle with Terkoz, set out toward the west and the seacoast.
