Another coconut fell,to make the world come to a complete standstill.I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises.Then I found company.A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose.I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden,but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs,head first or head last,waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started.Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness,disagreeable tiredness,is restricted to hunted animals,slaves and modern man.It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded briefcase as it is for a jungle dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back.It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months.The body is strange.Spare it,and you get really tired for almost nothing;use it,and almost nothing makes you really tired.

　　I rose to my feet.I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley.Above me,on the open highland plains,there were wild horses.But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it.Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
