That fish was the Venus shell. and 1t inhabited a house more beautiful than any Italian palace. The top of the shell was oval and arched. and when 1t was covered with fine gray seaweed the children who played along the shore called 1t 'porcella.' | the little pig.
 | In time the Venus shell came to be known as the pOrcella, perhaps be cause the people who gathered the shells'for their commercial value were more familiar with the pig than with the luminous goddess of love. whose radiance was supposed to be reflected | In the irldcscent house of the creature who dwelt in the sea from which We nus is said to have arisen.
