A Gnat flew over the meadow width
much buzzing, and settled on the
tip of one of the horns of a Bull.
He rested for a while and then made
ready to fly away. But before he
left he begged the Bull's pardon for
having rested on his horn.
"You must be very glad now that I am
going away," he said. "It's all the
same to me," replied the Bull. "I
did not even know you were there."
We have been down here a week now
wiggled for two days on a little
rail-way. It's only 240 miles south
of Mexico City at that Oaxaca(you
pronounce it Wa-ha-ka) is a little
town about 30000 in a wide valley
with mountains round lonely and a
bit lost. It is not far from both
coasts. But there is no railway.
You can ride in 4 or 5 days either
to the Pacific or the Atlantic if
you don't get shot. The country is
always unsettled. They've spread
such an absurd sort of socialism
every there and these little Zapo-
tec Indians are quite fierce.
I called on the Governor of the
State in the Palace. He is an
Indian from the hills, but like a
little Mexican lawyer: quite nice.
Only it's all just crazy. Tommorrow
he asked me to go out to the opening
of a road into the hills. The road
is not begun yet. That is why we
open it. And during the picnic
of couse he may get shot.
We shall move into a house next week
and are collecting bits of furniture
from various people. It's the house
of an Englishman who was born here
and who is a priest in the Cathedral
Chpter. Let us know how you all are.
