So
,

returned
Dick
Sand
,
"
we
have
believed
they
were
giraffes
,
and
not
ostriches
.
"
"
No
,
my
young
friend
,
no
,
"
said
Harris
.
"
You
have
certainly
seen
badly
.
That
is
explained
by
the
rapidity
with
which
those
animals
have
flown
away
.
Besides
,
it
has
happened
more
than
once
that
hunters
have
been
deceived
like
you
,
and
in
the
best
faith
in
the
world
.
"
What
the
American
said
was
very
plausible
.
Between
an
ostrich
of
great
height
and
a
giraffe
of
medium
height
,
seen
at
a
certain
distance
,
it
is
easy
to
make
a
mistake
.
If
it
were
a
question
of
a
beak
or
a
nose
,
both
are
none
the
less
joined
to
the
end
of
a
long
neck
turned
backward
,
and
,
strictly
speaking
,
it
may
be
said
that
an
ostrich
is
only
a
half
giraffe
.
It
only
needs
the
hind
legs
.
Then
,
this
biped
and
this
quadruped
,
passing
rapidly
,
on
a
sudden
may
,
very
properly
,
be
taken
one
for
the
other
.
Besides
,
the
best
proof
that
Mrs.
Weldon
and
the
others
were
mistaken
was
that
there
are
no
giraffes
in
America
.
Dick
Sand
then
made
this
reflection
:
"
But
I
believed
that
ostriches
were
not
met
with
in
the
New
World
any
more
than
giraffes
.
"
"
Yes
,
my
young
friend
,
"
replied
Harris
;
"
and
,
indeed
,
South
America
possesses
a
peculiar
species
.
To
this
species
belongs
the
'n
andon
,
'
which
you
have
just
seen
.
"
Harris
spoke
the
truth
.
The
"
nandon
"
is
a
long-legged
bird
,
rather
common
in
the
plains
of
South
America
,
and
its
flesh
,
when
it
is
young
,
is
good
to
eat
.
This
strong
animal
,
whose
height
sometimes
exceeds
two
meters
,
has
a
straight
beak
;
wings
long
,
and
formed
of
tufted
feathers
of
a
bluish
shade
;
feet
formed
of
three
claws
,
furnished
with
nails
--
which
essentially
distinguishes
it
from
the
ostriches
of
Africa
.
