Mango, a rather small Indian man

78. "Ah Dang!"

Mango stopped in his slightly ahead tracks..

"What's wrong?"
"Oh, I've misplaced my favorite book!"
"No worries..I doubt we will have time to read!"
" It was a book of great guidance."
" My friend, I use the best navigational tool ever designed! You will not need your book."
" But-But-this book is different.."
"Okay, I'll help you look for it...I can see you are truly lost without it."

Weevy smiled, and Mango's chuckle turned into a full-throated cackle, the likes of which would make certain women's clubs jealous!

The moon was cooperating and the clouds slid to the side just so..

"Oh, I've got something here.. Is this it? ... kind of a dark cover...looks like a picture of a diamond!"

"Yes, that's it! Ahh Sweet!"

Mango's eyes searched the gleaming paperback..

" Okay, it's settled. When we find a place to camp...I'll read it outloud to you!"
