undergoing punishment for having
gathered sticks on Sundays when the
moon is about eighs days old, believ-

seen with his bundle of sticks on his
back and his little dog before him,
continually climbing but making no
progress whatever References to the

through literature.N 1t is believed
that the superstition had its origin
in the account given in the 18th chap

punished with death for gathering
sticks on Sunday, Dante, in the In
ferno, refers to the man in the moon,
and suggests that he was Cain.
