very gentle with little children. He
smiled at them as they passed and
sometimes reached out furtively to
touch them.
Day by day the little Lake grew
smaller and the island bigger. Day by
day the sun shone brighter, and at last
there was no trace left Of the little
lake. AS for the island, it was only

So now when the bent old Sabbano
is more lonely and wretched than is his

simple faith, he whispers gently: "The
