The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs: about the youth's middle. A knife was thrust through its folds.
When the boy saw the ape he hastened forward to exhibit
his trophies. Proudly he called attention to each of his
newly won possessions. Boastfully he recounted the details
of his exploit.
"With my bare hands and my teeth I killed him," he said.
"I would have made friends with them but they chose to be
my enemies. And now that I have a spear I shall show Numa, too,
what it means to have me for a foe. Only the white men and the
great apes, Akut, are our friends. Them we shall seek, all others
must we avoid or kill. This have I learned of the jungle."
