The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "I started teaching him the alphabet when we first
reached the prospector, and were taking out its con-
tents," be explained. "He was much mystified by the
books and anxious to know of what use they were. When
I explained he asked me to teach him to read, and so I
worked with him whenever I could. He is very in-
telligent and learns quickly. Before I left he had made
great progress, and as soon as he is qualified he is going
to teach others to read. It was mighty hard work getting
started, though, for everything had to be translated into
Pellucidarian.
