Here he is. He was surveying a village and some kids kept asking him to buy this little creature. He didn’t have his Arabic-English dictionary with him. He buys it at the end of the day (it’s looking frail). He gets back to his compound, looks up the word - “huh, I just bought a hyena.”

Betsy’s midweek book rec is ‘The Collected Regrets of Clover.’ Kirkus Reviews says “It walks the edge of sentimentality with poignant success.” I couldn’t agree more. I’ll be sad when I finish.
