The Half Neon Cakes
BY SUI SIN FAR

LIN YU - Mao Tun sat beside a
III stream running water eating
half mo0A cakes. 1t was the
time Of the Harvest Moon
| festival. Said Mao Tun to Han Hu:
"The cake which my honorable mother
has made is very good to the taste.
! Allow me to place morsel within
your honorable mouth"
Han Yu replied, Il gladly will, If you
will also consent to partake Of the
tasty confection my honorable mother
has compounded"
Dy way Of answer Mao Tun opened
his mouth, and moment thereafter
each boy was munching a portion OF
the cake made by the mother of the
other.
The moon rose high in the heavens.
A fish leaped out OF the water and
looked hungrily at the eaters. Charity!
Charity" he cried.
But the boys either could not or
would. not hear. The fish returned to
the stream. The moon retired behind
a cloud.
Your honorable mothers cake is de-
serving Of even more praise than my
honorable mothers" said Han Yu.
Nay" returned Mao Tun, Il have
discovered a superior. flavor in the
cake which came out of the oven OF
your honorable parent
When Mao Tun returned to his
fathers doorstep his father met him
and said: peace, Han Yu! But where
is my son who went with you to sit
beside the Stream?'
Mao Tun gazed at his father in as
tonishment Honorable parent" he
exclaimed. "are you blind that you take
me for Han Yu? Do You not know
vour Oun lInworthy SOM"
The father of Mao Tun frowned.
This is no time for jestipg," said he
And. boy, If you were hot the son
Of my trusted friend. / should box
your cars for your impudence."
Saying which. Mao Tun the First
hurried down the path, looking on
either side Of him and crying IA
loud voice: Mao Tun, my son! The
hour is late. '1is time to seek the
land of siumber."
Thinking his father had gone out
OF his mind. Mao Tun rushed crying
stop that noise!" cried his old
grandmother. You should be
ashamed to comport yourself thus In
the household of those who are not
akin to you. Begone!"
This so bereft Mao Tun Of his
breath that all he could do was to
stand still and stare, and his father,
returning, seeing him eye the old
woman so stupidly, took him by the
shoulder and thrust him out OF the
house, shouting, go. thou irreverent
pig. Find Mao Tun and send him
hither. or thou and they house shan
suffer-
Turne1 out Of his home BY bis own
father. Mao Tun ran toward The homS
of Han Yu. All his desire was-to see
his friend and tell him his troubles;
and what was his surprise when half |
way there to hear a voice crying:
ooh. Mao Tun! Oh. Mao Tun! MY
