“But just as Teddy was stooping, something flinched a little in the dust, and a tiny voice said: "Be careful. I am death!" It was Karait, the dusty brown snakeling that lies for choice on the dusty earth; and his bite⟳ is as dangerous as the cobra's. But he is so small that nobody thinks of him, and so he does the more harm⟳ to people.”
