10．One day Mr．Kerry was walking along the Strand in London，killing time，when his eye was caught by an enormous picture displayed upon the wall of a house．It represented a human figure covered with long，dark hair，with huge nails upon his hands and a most fearful expression．On coming nearer，he heard a man call out'Walk in，ladies and gentlemen，the most wonderful curiosity ever exhibited-only five pence-the wild man from Africa-he eats raw food，and many other pleasing and surprising performances．Mr．Kerry paid his money and was admitted．At first the crowd prevented his seeing anything，for the place was full of suffocation（窒息），and the noise was awful．At last，Mr．Kerry obtained，by dint of squeezing and pushing，a place in the front，when to his horror，he saw a figure that was far worse than the portrait outside．
It was a man，nearly naked，covered with long，shaggy hair，that grew even over his nose and cheekbones．He sprang about，sometimes his feet，sometimes on all-fours，but always uttering the most fearful yells，and glaring upon the crowd in a manner that was really dangerous．Mr．Kerry did not feel exactly happy at the whole proceeding，and began heartily to wish himself outside．Suddenly，thc savage gave a more frantic scream than before and seized a morsel（小塊） of raw beef which a keeper extended to him on a long fork．This he tore to pieces eagerly，and devoured in the most voracious（貪婪的） manner，amid great clapping of hands and other evidence of satisfaction from the audience：'I'll go now'，thought Mr．Kerry，'for who knows whether，in his hungry moods，he might not fancy finishing his dinner with me．'Just at this instant，some sounds struck his ear that surprised him．He listened more attentively and，to his amazement，found that amid the most fearful cries and wild yells，the savage was talking Irish．Now，Mr．Kerry had never heard of an African Irishman so he listened very closely，and，by degrees，not only thc words were known to him，but the very voice was familiar，so turning to the savage he addressed him in Irish，at the same time fixing him with a severe look．
'Who are you？'said Mr．Kerry．
'Billy McCabe，sir．'
'And what do you mean by playing your tricks here，instead of earning your living like an honest man？'
'Well，'said Billy，'I'm earning the rent to pay you．One must do many strange things to pay the kind of rent you charge．'
