          Along the foot of a tilted red rock a porcupine came....It broke open a tiny shelter of sticks and some meager round-eared creature, all eyes and bony limbs, fled across the stones.

         The porcupine, ignoring it, was about to devour the beetles ...when suddenly it paused, raised its head and listened. As it remained motionless a brown, mongoose-like creature broke quickly through the bushes and disappeared down its hole. From farther away came the sound of scolding birds.
