spread. howimportant books are you can judge from the fact that very hot
countries have little civilization. there are many reasons for this, but one of
the most important is that white ants who live in the tropics eat up all the
books. for example in tropical south america there are practically no books
more than forty or fifty years old. where there are no books, there are not
records and no literature. the ideas and knowledge of one generation are

And hide in cooling trees a voice will run

One evening a hungry fox came to a farmhouse. There

a rope. There was a plate of meat on the ground. It was near
enough for the dog to reach. Perhaps the dog wasn't hungry
because it didn't eat the meat. The fox hadn't eaten anything
for two days, but it was afraid of the dog.
The fox had a very good plan. It began to run round the tree, and
the dog followed the fox round and round. The rope was also going
round the tree and becoming shorter and shorter. At last the rope was
too short for the dog to reach the plate. Then the fox ate up the meat
and ran away.

An hour later, we were ready to leave. I didn't know what to do. I could not
kiss him or cry. I touched his shoulder and wheeled out into the summer
evening I looked back; and I knew he was waving, though he wasn't.
Watching him, an embodiment of my bravest self, the one I was moving
towards, the one I had believed in for so many years, alone, I knew that my
journey was over. For now.
