Explore "The Yak" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As a friend to the children / commend me the Yak.
You will find it exactly the thing: / It will carry and fetch, / you can ride on its back,
Or lead it about / with a string.
The Tartar who dwells on the plains of Thibet / (A desolate region of snow) / Has for centuries made it a nursery pet, / And surely the Tartar should know!
Then tell your papa where the Yak can be got, / And if he is awfully rich / He will buy you the creature -- / or else / he will _not_. / (I cannot be positive which.)
