fresh grass" said Agasi, who was suf-

mot at all. My parents fed on
grass, but / have adopted fish diet,
and now l live on them almost entlre-
ly."
'Wel. at any rate. your wants are
small compared with mine. Two or
three hundred flesh are a meal for YOU
but that many thousand are scarcely
enough for me-"
But these belong to my friends
who are now away fishing
"Well. l am also your friend, ana l
need them more than the others, sa s,la
Agasi, helping himself. This gave the
Bull a new idea, and he asked
"Where do you live?"
"hbout four hours walk from here.
well, l will go home with you.
mo. you cannot; no one can come
to my house. 1t is built in a tree, ana
is not like a mans house
do you mean that IL is In the Top
of a tree?"
20, no matter; I'll go"
EVERY one that goes there / Kill and
eat"
"But you have just said I am your
friend. Surely you would not XIII
friend"
well, come along, if you wish"
said Agasi, setting off at round pace
with the Bull running as hard as ne
could after him.
After travelling three hours, the Bull
was exhausted, and had to lie down
to rest When he got up Agasl was
gone. so he returned to the fish kiln.
When the others returned and asked
for the fish the Bull said:
1.-THE giant was too big for me:
Why, he was eight fathoms high
tried to follow him to his house, so
we could go and catch him, but he
went so far and so fast l gave out,
and had to come back.
s.Well." said the Planduc, you have
all tried and failed. Now, since | have
taught you how to fish, / will stay and
show you how to keep the fish. The
Cat also has good nead, ana ne SHaii
stay with me-"
So the Cat and the Planduc staid,
and the others went to their fishing
again. When Agasi came he saw the
Cat, and said:
hHello, Cat: what are you doing?"
Helping the Planduc watch the
fish," replied the Cat.
80, yes, there is the Planduc. sure
enough. Well, 1 will just take the fish"

Look here, Agasi," said the Plan
due, do YOU feel that big wind?"
Eyes, / feel q wind"
do you see that big, black cloud?"
asked the Pianduc, pointing to cloud
overhead.
Yes, l see it: but what of it?"
well, there is going to be storm,
worse than you ever saw. | know the
look of it, A hundred years ago there
was one just like this. / ran as hard
as I could for three hours, and just
managed to get out of it. But all my
friends were killed. There is a great,
whirling wind that will lift you up
and dash you to the ground, and the
water will wash you away"
Let us run away, then" said Agasi,
who was now trembling so that ne
could hardly stand.
Impossible. 1t is now too close upon
US"
what shall we do?" asked Agasi,
jumping about.
IF you will keep cool and do as
say, / will save you, although you
have stolen our fish so often" said
the Plsnduc.
TELL me what to do, and 1 will be
your friend always"
well, the only thing you can do is
to let me tie you tight to a big tree
that is strong enough TO stand the
wind. and then neither the wind nor
the water can carry you away"
Agasi readily agreed, so they hunted
big tree, and he stood with his back
against it while the Planduc and the
Cat began to tie him TO II with piece
