U'Donnawannagothaire
It's a Jungle Out There

Jane and Friends

By Jim Morgan

After many long years in the jungle, you are homesick for multi-syllable conversations, besides the sanctimonious ramblings of local missionaries. When you received a letter from some former sorority sisters who are eager to see all the wonderful sights you've described in darkest Africa, you immediately-and secretly-agreed to be their guide. On their to do lists are photographing the Pristine Falls (flowing from a source reputedly near the mythical Fountain of Youth), touring the Twilight Temple, meeting the savage natives said to guard the fountain, visiting the Elephant Graveyard, and shooting (either bullets or photographs) a few trophy animals, including lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, cape buffalo-there are plenty and to spare, and after all, they really are only animals, right?

Once Tarzan headed out for the morning, you quickly dressed, left him a note, and hurried off to the Missionary Compound where your friends-and their chaperones-have already hired some bearers and are eager to set out. The native drums are active this morning, but it is just rhythm to you, and besides, the natives know you are Tarzan's mate and that should keep them from bothering you. So, arm in arm, you head off into the jungle.

Starting Position(s):

You start in the village.
