Description
Excerpt from Visits in Other Lands
Bunga is a boy who is older than you would think from his size. He was ten his last birth day; but he is only about as tall as you were at seven or eight. The reason he is so small is that he is a Negrito boy, and all the Negritos are small. If Bunga measures five feet when he grows up, he will be taller than most of the Negrito men.
The Negritos are among the peoples of the world who are called pygmies. Pygmies are little people, smaller than the rest of us. They all have dark skin, and they live in far-away lands. Bunga's people are one group of the Negrito pygmies.
Although Bunga's people are small, their muscles are strong from plenty of exercise. Their skin is chocolate-brown color, and their hair is black and very curly.
