The Bible, King James version, Book 43: John
Book 43 John 43:001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 43:001:002 The same was in the beginning with God. 43:001:003 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 43:001:004 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 43:001:005 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 43:001:006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 43:001:007 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 43:001:008 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that

'Good Damanaka,' said King Tawny-hide, somewhat appeased, 'how is it

this while from our Court? But now speak thy mind fearlessly: what
wouldst thou?'
'Will your Majesty deign to answer one question?' said Damanaka.
'Wherefore came He back from the river without drinking?'
'Hush!' whispered the King, 'thou hast hit right upon my trouble. I knew
no one unto whom I might confide it; but thou seemest a faithful fellow,
and I will tell thee. Listen, then,' continued his Majesty in an
agitated whisper, 'there is some awful beast that was never seen before
in this wood here; and we shall have to leave it, look you. Did you hear
by chance the inconceivable great roar he gave? What a strong beast it
must be to have such a voice!'
