FC #13: Tarzan
Dear Tarzan:
You've been on my mind...
I grew up watching the television show Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle. Fascinated by your extraordinary physical abilities, mainly your strength and stamina, I watched you climb, swing, and leap and wished I had some of your agility and speed. I also loved your intelligence.
I remember that the name of your chimpanzee friend, Cheeta, caused me a great deal of confusion when I was a child: For the longest time, I thought cheetahs were chimpanzees. I don't know if Edgar Rice Burroughs is responsible for this poor choice of name or Hollywood, but I wonder how many more children confused chimpanzees and cheetahs growing up.
Thanks to all who portrayed Tarzan's character and all who created his cartoon character.
Love...
Gratitude Girl
