George says that at Xochimiloo
there lives a hermit by the name Of

Xoconoxtli lives on one OF the many

tales Of jumping beans. a 4O0-year-old
turtle, and other things. His jumping
beans play checkers on their own ac-
cord and of their own intelligence,
and the turtle. which happened to
have the misfortune to grow up inside
an ola, rolls itself down to the bank
of the lake whenever It's thirst makes
this necessary. Be 1t explained that an

turtle is not unlike that of the kyoodle

actually exists. For, 10! these many
years he has inhabited a hollow tree

descent and his floating garden to the
