Iwent north—i did not try to hide myself. when a god or a demon saw me, then i would die, but meanwhile i was no longer afraid. my hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that i could not understand. after a while, i knew that my belly was hungry. i could have hunted for my meat, but i did not hunt. it is known that the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from enchanted boxes and jars. sometimes these are still found in the dead places—once, when i was a child and foolish, i opened such a jar and tasted it and found the food sweet. but my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death. now, though, i had long gone past what was forbidden, and i entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
