So he said good-bye very politely to
the
Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake
,
and helped to coil him up on the rock
again, and went on, a little warm, but not
at all astonished,
eating melons, and
throwing the rind about, because he
could not pick it up
, till he trod on
what he thought was a log of
wood at the very edge of the
great grey-green, greasy
Limpopo River,
all set about
with fever-trees.
