At Al Bat'ha, which is just above the tableland, we actually encamped under a spreading tree, a wild, unedible fig called luthba by the Arabs, a nickname given to all worthless, idle individuals in these parts.
Cecropia that beauty whose wings, fully six inches across, will flap gracefully through the summer twilight weaves about himself a half oval mound, along some stem or tree-trunk, and becomes a mere excrescence the veriest unedible thing a bird may spy.
She would spend hours concocting expensive desserts, while the vegetables boiled dry and scorched and meat turned to leather, only to bring pridefully to the table some flavorless mixture garnished according to a picture in the cook book, and totally unedible. She would have ambitious cleaning days, too, starting late and leaving off with beds unmade to prepare the evening meal.
When I got to sea I found that his tubers were rank and unedible, and full of fine yellow streaks of repulsive appearance. I tied the sack up and returned to the few left of my old stock, thinking that maybe when I got right hungry the island potatoes would improve in flavor. Three weeks later I opened the bag again, and out flew millions of winged insects!
