' tell me if thou knowest aught of mabon the son of modron , who was taken when three nights old from between his mother and the wall . ' and the ousel answered : ' when i first came here i was a young bird , and there was a smith 's anvil in this place . but from that time no work has been done upon it , save that every evening i have pecked at it , till now there is not so much as the size of a nut remaining thereof . yet all that time i have never once heard of the man you name . still , there is a race of beasts older than i , and i will guide you to them . '
guided them to the race of beasts .
