Beschreibung

The man-horse was filthy and oily, and he was completely nude except for a filthy loincloth, but the white guy clung to him frantically. His head drooped and rested on the hairy pate at times due to weakness. At other times, he lifted his head and peered, his eyes swimming, at the reeling cocoanut palms.
