Mark Twain: Extracts from Adam’s Diary (1903)
Version vom 10.2.2015
“She engages herself in many foolish things; among others, to study out why the animals called lions and tigers live on grass and flowers, when, as she says, the sort of teeth they wear would indicate that they were intended to eat each other. This is foolish, because to do that would be to kill each other, and that would introduce what, as I understand it, is called ‘death’; and death, as I have been told, has not yet entered the Park. Which is a pity, on some accounts.”
