Book: Adopted monkey

A fool is one who does an act without any reason.

Everyone laughed, except for D'Arnot. He alone knew how logical and serious this reason was in the mouth of the ape-man.

Tarzan became convinced that this people was even more evil than his monkeys, and cruel, like Sabor herself, and he ceased to treat his breed with the same respect.

His strange life did not make him sullen or bloodthirsty. The fact that he killed with a joyful laugh did not at all prove his innate cruelty. Most often, he killed in order to get food. True, being a man, he sometimes killed for his own pleasure, which no other animal does. After all, of all creatures in the world, only man is given to kill senselessly, with pleasure, only for the sake of pleasure to cause suffering and death.
