NIAGARA by MARK TWAIN

Kulturelles Missverständnis, ungefähr zeitgleich mit Karl May, der in Radebeul ohne Ausserkontinentale auskommen müsste.

"Is the Wawhoo-Wang-Wang of the Whack-a- Whack happy? Does the great Speckled Thunder sigh for the warpath, or is his heart contented with dreaming of the dusky maiden, the Pride of the Forest? Does the mighty Sachem yearn to drink the blood of his enemies, or is he satisfied to make bead reticules for the pappooses of the paleface? Speak, sublime relic of bygone grandeur-- vener- able ruin, speak!'

The relic said:

An' is it mesilf, Dennis Hooligan, that ye'd be takin' for a dirty Injin, ye drawlin', lanternjawed, spider-legged divil! By the piper that played be- fore Moses, I'll ate ye!

I went away from there.
