Tarzan's Secret Treasure Page #3

---

with that horn, Mr. Tarzan.

Make noise like rhino.

Not so good a noise, I'll wager.

No mechanical contrivance can compete

with the voice of a living creature.

O'Doul smart man.

Thank you, Mr. Tarzan.

Another compliment like that...

and you'll have

a smart corpse on your hands.

There's nothing like nature.

It's the natural creatures,

the little birds and the beasties.

It's them that touches

the cockles of your heart.

That's the drink.

That's what drink does to you.

I'll never touch another drop of drink

as long as I live.

Stop pushing that horn, will you?

When do we come to the escarpment?

Have you any idea?

Pretty soon now. We'll be able to see it

as soon as we get through the woods.

It reaches almost to the sky.

I suppose we'll have to

leave the trucks behind us.

If we had an airplane,

we could fly up there.

Too bad we didn't bring one with us.

I was gonna buy an airplane

when we got to civilization.

I was gonna buy an automobile, too.

A big one, bigger than this one.

I was gonna buy everything.

Look, Tumbo, this is gold.

It buys everything in civilization.

- What's that?

- Gold.

Gold?

- Yes, sir, gold. It buys everything.

- Let me have a look at that.

Look at this.

Where did you get this?

In the river where we swim.

I see. Is there any more of it?

There's lots of it on the bottom.

Lots of it.

What do you do with it?

I use it in my sling.

They're heavier than stones.

Mother says in civilization

you can buy everything with it.

I could buy an airplane with this,

couldn't I?

Yes, I guess you could, son.

Have you told Mr. Elliott

and Mr. O'Doul about this?

No, sir, I haven't.

You know, you shouldn't tell anyone.

In civilization, gold loses its value

if you talk about it too much.

Let's keep this a secret,

just between ourselves.

- Shouldn't I even tell the Professor?

- No.

Then it wouldn't be a secret.

Secrets aren't very healthy

on an expedition, Medford.

Why don't we wait

and discuss this point at the proper time?

Tell you what, son,

you keep this a secret...

we'll buy you an airplane for yourself.

- You will?

- We'll buy you two of them.

Then Tumbo can have one, too, can't he?

It's a secret. I won't tell anyone ever.

Go ahead, blow the horn if you feel like it.

Look, Tumbo, there's the escarpment.

That's where I live.

Juju.

There's no juju if Tarzan wants you there.

That's where you're gonna live, Tumbo,

up there with Tarzan, Jane, and me.

Come on.

Thank you, Tarzan.

My head was spinning there for a moment.

- Escarpment high up.

- Yes, it must be the altitude.

Boy.

Darling, where have you been?

Where did you go?

I've been so worried about you.
