tiny stream flowed, almost losing itself
in mist before reaching its course be-

about certain fish in that stream, to
the effect that when they came to the
edge of the precipice they curled them
selves up, put their tails in their
mouths, and rolled down like so many
hoops. Curious jules never told us
