"It did not occur to Mpengi that men would die in Macao, the China Seas, Singapore, Tokyo, the Burmese jungles, Africa and the Kent countryside because the bellies of his children were empty. He did not know of those places. What Mpengi did would have such disastrous effects around the world, what he did to relieve the gnawing mouse in the bellies of his children, was simplicity itself. He went to the camp of the Englishman with the red face and the luxuriant white moustache and told him where to find the last six elephants in the world." EB .
