The Ivory Child

CHAPTER IV
9/30

If you will come and kill it, we will show you the place where all the elephants go to die, and you shall take their ivory, many wagon-loads, and grow rich.
Soon you are going on a journey that has to do with a flower, and you will visit peoples named the Mazitu and the Pongo who live on an island in a lake.

Far beyond the Pongo and across the desert dwell my people, the Kendah, in a secret land.

When you wish to visit us, as you will do, journey to the north of that lake where the Pongo dwell, and stay there on the edge of the desert shooting till we come.

Now mock me if you will, but do not forget, for these things shall befall in their season, though that time be far.

If we meet no more for a while, still do not forget.
