will take you for little ride and
perhaps you will be tempted to leave
of your mourning. Djinn Cottie
obeyed. He was SO light. SO thin and
frail that the dragon fly could not
even feel him as he sat behind her
wings.
Up, up they went, once more. over
the marsh and the hill and the
meadow, under the stars and into the
moonlight. Suddenly wonderful
plan leaped into Djinn Cottie's weary
brain. Slowly. and oh. so carefully.
he raised himself to his feet on the
dragon fiy's back. There for moment
he balanced himself, and then as they
swooped. under a bar of moonlight.
Djinn Cottie threw up his tiny arms
and clasped 1t.
The dragon fly did not even feel the
moment of his going. On on. she
sailed. But Djinn Cotrie. his tiny
heart beating with terror lest she look
around and spy him threw his legs
about the bar OF light and clambered
up top. Just as you would grip the
hannisters for sliding downstairs.
