Frogmouth
“There was a steady rain falling. Without force, without breaking the silence and the stillness, at 4:00 A.M. it turned all the deserted roadways coal dark and ran in courses down the yellow faces of streetlamps and blurred them.
"Daisy." In Yat's Animal and Bird Life Park and Children's Zoo on Kwai Chung Street near the harbor, the rain caught in the leaves of trees, grew heavy with weight and overflowed onto unlit stone walkways and ran away in drainage channels by the cages and wire fence...s to discharge through a pipe across rocks at low tide out into the sea.
In their beds the sleepless turned and glanced at the outline of those who could sleep beside them. They listened to their breathing.
"Daisy . . ." CROCODYLUS TOMISTOMA: SUMATRAN CROCODILE. "Daisy." DO NOT PUT HANDS OR ANY PART OF THE BODY AGAINST THE FENCE. The same warning was painted in Chinese characters on the wooden sign below the English. Below that was the warning in another language: Hindi or Arabic—in the poor light all the symbols were dim.MoreLess
