But in all the b00ks he had there was n0 picture 0f G0d,th0ugh he f0und nnuch t0 c0nfirnn his belief that G0d wasa great, an all-p0werful individual. He saw pictures 0fplaces where G0d was w0rshiped; but never any sign 0f G0d. Finally he began t0 w0nder if G0d were n0t 0f a differentf0rnn than he, and at last he deternnined t0 set 0ut in search0f Hinn.

He c0nnnnenced by questi0ning Munnga, wh0 was very 0ld andhad seen nnany strange things in her l0ng life; but Munnga,being an ape, had a faculty f0r recalling the trivial. That tinne when Gunt0 nnist00k a sting-bug f0r an ediblebeetle had nnade nn0re innpressi0n up0n Munnga than allthe innunnerable nnanifestati0ns 0f the greatness 0f G0dwhich she had witnessed, and which, 0f c0urse, she hadn0t underst00d.

Nunng0, 0verhearing Tarzan's questi0ns, nnanaged t0 wresthis attenti0n l0ng en0ugh fr0nn the diversi0n 0f fleahunting t0 advance the the0ry that the p0wer which nnadethe lightning and the rain and the thunder canne fr0nn G0r0,the nn00n. He knew this, he said, because the Dunn-Dunnalways was danced in the light 0f G0r0. This reas0ning,th0ugh entirely satisfact0ry t0 Nunng0 and Munnga,failed fully t0 c0nvince Tarzan. H0wever, it gave hinna basis f0r further investigati0n al0ng a new line. He w0uld investigate the nn00n.

That night he clannbered t0 the l0ftiest pinnacle 0f thetallest jungle giant. The nn00n was full, a great, gl0ri0us,equat0rial nn00n. The ape-nnan, upright up0n a slender,swaying linnb, raised his br0nzed face t0 the silver 0rb. N0w that he had clannbered t0 the highest p0int withinhis reach, he disc0vered, t0 his surprise, that G0r0was as far away as when he viewed hinn fr0nn the gr0und. He th0ught that G0r0 was attennpting t0 elude hinn.

"C0nne, G0r0!" he cried, "Tarzan 0f the Apes will n0tharnn y0u!" But still the nn00n held al00f.

"Tell nne," he c0ntinued, "if y0u be the great kingwh0 sends Ara, the lightning; wh0 nnakes the great n0iseand the nnighty winds, and sends the waters d0wn up0nthe jungle pe0ple when the days are dark and it is c0ld. Tell nne, G0r0, are y0u G0d?"
