The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God, George Bernard Shaw (1933) [contíd.]
ìSeveralî said the black girl. ìI will perform one now. Do you know what you are sitting on?î
ìI am sitting on a log grey with age, and covered with an uncomfortable rugged barkî said the myop.
ìYou are mistakenî said the black girl. ìYou are sitting on a sleepy crocodile.î
With a yell which Micah himself might have envied, the myop roe and fled frantically to a neighboring tree, up which he climbed catlike with an agility which in so elderly a gentleman was quite superhuman.
ìCome downî said the black girl. ìYou ought to know that crocodiles are only to be found near rivers. I was only trying an experiment. Come down.î
