Excerpt from Old Hendrik's Tales "Ou' Ta'! Ou' Ta'!" she cried. "Now you re Ou' Jackalse and were Ou' Wolf, and we've got you this time at last" She wanted to dance in the triumph of it, could she have done it without letting go. Old Hendrik woke between a grunt and a groan, but the merry clamour of the little girl would have none of that. "Now we've got you, Ou' Jackalse," cried she again. The old man's yellow face looked up in a sly grin. " Ah, Anniekye," said he unctuously; "but Ou' Wolf never did ketch Ou' Jackalse. He ain't never bin slim enough yet. He make a big ole try dat time when he got Oom Baviyaan to help him; but all dey got was dat kink in Ou' Baviyaan's tail - you can see it yet" "But how did old Bobbyjohn get that kink in his tail? You never told us that, Ou' Ta'," protested Annie. The old Hottentot smiled to the little girl, and then straightway sighed to himself. "If you little folks only knowed de Taal," said he plaintively. "It don't soun' de same in you Englis' somehow." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
