The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs: of the men. We English, you know, are great walkers, while
these Arabians had never walked since they were old enough
to ride a horse.
"I cannot tell you how much longer we kept on but at last,
with our strength almost gone, a handful of us reached the
bottom of a deep gorge. To scale the opposite side was out
of the question and so we kept on down along the sands of
what must have been the bed of an ancient river, until finally
we came to a point where we looked out upon what appeared
to be a beautiful valley in which we felt assured that we would
find game in plenty.
