LALI, THE RED SHEEP 93 



comes when I call him, and nibbles bread out of my 

 hand, and then tries to buck at me. Not much to 

 choose between animals and men, except that the 

 former repulse one in ignorance after receiving 

 favours ! 



I call the red sheep " Lai," and later on Lali." 

 This strikes the shikaris and coolies as queer 

 behaviour on my part, and they are beginning to see 

 something more than skin and bones in this poor 

 sheep.
