All the energy goes into the push—none into push-back. Otherwise they were like other gorillas, in that their small brains were not complicated enough to deal with advanced intellectual concepts such as Purpose, Competition and Improvement. When they thought, it was only in the most simple and logical terms. I came close to being killed by a golden once, through that meanness and stupidity. "I didnt mean to lie, I forgot about that thing," Clarence Little-Saddle said. "My son Clarence Bare-back sent that to me from Japan for a joke a long time ago. Sure, you can have it."
