. Die Welt des großen Waldes; wie Tiere, Vögel, Reptilien, Insekten reden, denken, arbeiten und leben. Sie sahen zwei große Geier, die sich auf die Kadaver stellten und sagten: Wie scharf ist der Anblick der Geier! Wir haben ihnen eine gute Mahlzeit hinterlassen. Die beiden Geier machten eine reichliche Neubesamung und sagten zu sich: Bald wird es Sonnenuntergang sein. Morgen kommen wir wieder. In der Zwischenzeit waren die Mboyos in den dicksten Teil des Waldes abgereist. Dieselbe Nacht hätte man bei einer gewissen Unt-tung durch das trübe Mondlicht sehen können, denn der Mond war auf dem Schwinden, eine Packung hässlich aussehender gestreifter Hyänen.als sie auf der Leine gingen

The world of the great forest; how animals, birds, reptiles, insects talk, think, work, and live . they saw two large vulturesalighting upon the carcasses and said, How keen isthe sight of the vultures ! we have left them a goodmeal. The two vultures made a bountiful repastand said to themselves : Soon it will be sunset. To-morrow we will come again. In the mean time the mboyos had departed for thethickest part of the forest. That same night could have been seen at some dis-tance through the dim moonlight, for the moon wason the wane, a pack of ugly-looking striped hyenas.As they walked along, they looked queer, with theirforelegs higher than their hind ones ; they were prowl-ing in search of food. Twice they all gave a peculiarcry, horrid to listen to, which filled the country formiles with its reverberations. They walked silently, sniffing the air as they wentalong. Suddenly they scented meat. At this dis-covery there was great excitement among all of them, for they wanted a meal badly, being very hungry.The meat they scented was that of the kambis whichthe mboyos had killed. 266. ^^ A pack of ugly-looking striped hyenas THE MBOYOS, OR JACKALS They hastened their pace and reached the carcassesof the kambis, and soon all were busy tearing theflesh, holding the pieces firmly on the ground withtheir forepaws, which are armed with big heavy claws.
