After visiting Paris Alan the famous llama poet
wrote a sonnet. Although he didn’t dedicate it to
any llama in particular it was obviously about
Tina. Ivan Tina’s husband certainly took it that
way and challenged Alan to a llama dual. “Butt
out,” he said to seal the deal.

13. What, according to the text, can be made out of llama wool?
The llama is a South American relative of the camel, though the
llama does not have a hump. These sturdy creatures are domestic
animals used by the peoples of the Andes Mountains. (Their wild
relatives are guanacos and vicuñas). Native peoples have used
llamas as pack animals for centuries. Typically, they are saddled
with loads of 50 to 75 pounds (23 to 34 kilograms). Under such
weight they can cover up to 20 miles (32 kilometers) in a single
day. Pack trains of llamas, which can include several hundred
animals, move large amounts of goods over even the very rough
terrain of the Andes.
Llamas are willing pack animals but only to a point. An overloaded
llama will simply refuse to move. These animals often lie down on
the ground and they may spit, hiss, or even kick at their owners
until their burden is lessened.
Llamas graze on grass and, like cows, regurgitate their food and
chew it as cud. They chomp on such wads for some time before
swallowing them for complete digestion. Llamas can survive by
eating many different kinds of plants, and they need little water.
These attributes make them durable and dependable even in
sparse mountainous terrain.
Llamas contribute much more than transportation to the human
communities in which they live. Leather is made from their hides,
and their wool is crafted into ropes, rugs, and fabrics. Llama
excrement is dried and burned for fuel. Even in death, llamas can
serve their human owners—some people slaughter them and eat
their meat.
