ACCOUNTED FOR
A traveller in Ceylon, desiring to take a bath, asked a native to show him to a place that was free from crocodiles. The native took him close to the mouth of the river, where the traveller enjoyed a nice, refreshing bath. On coming out of the water, he inquired of his guide how this locality happened to he free from crocodiles. “Crocodiles 'fraid of shark,” replied the native; “too many shark here!”
