01 Amazon Adventure
“They had to portage around it, first carrying the gear, and then the canoe. When the canoe was repacked at the base of the fall they all stepped aboard again — all except Napo.
He stood on the shore and looked stubborn.
‘Me go back,’ he said.
Dad argued with him, but it was no use. This fall marked the end of the country that he knew. Beyond was the unknown, filled with mysterious terrors. He did not know the people. His only comment upon them was that they were very bad.
He would walk back hom...e by a trail bordering the river. It would take him about two days to make his village.
Hunt paid him and Hal offered him a supply of provisions. Napo smiled his thanks but refused.
‘Me eat,’ he said, tapping his bow. He could get what food he needed from river and forest.
After helping to push off the boat he lingered on the shore as if sorry to see his new friends go. As the canoe was swiftly borne downstream he called some sort of a goodbye in his own language and started to climb the steep, rocky slope beside the waterfall.MoreLess
