“Please，” said the Lamb， “I can‘t understand. What have e to do with the Calormenes？ We belong to Aslan. They elong to Tash. They have a god called Tash. They say he as four arms and the head of a vulture. They kill Men on is altar. I don’t believe there‘s any such person as Tash. But there was， how could Aslan be friends with him？”
All the animals cocked their heads sideways and all their right eyes flashed towards the Ape. They knew it was the est question anyone had asked yet.
The Ape jumped up and spat at the Lamb.
“Baby！” he hissed. “Silly little bleater！ Go home to our mother and drink milk. What do you understand of uch things？ But you others， listen. Tash is only another ame for Aslan. All that old idea of us being right and he Calormenes wrong is silly. We know better now. The alormenes use different words but we all mean the same hing. Tash and Aslan are only two different names for ou know Who. That’s why there can never be any quarrel etween them. Get that into your heads， you stupid brutes. ash is Aslan： Aslan is Tash.”
