"Once upon q time in ancient
Greece there was a king by the
name Of Ceyx. And Ceyx was
married to q beautiful goddess,
the daughter OF Aeolus.
Now they were very happy,
and one day when Ceyx went
across the sea Halcyon was
very sad. She was distressed to
see her husband leave her, for
she loved him very much.
'EIalcyon had q feeling that
something was going to happen,
and that night when she went
to sleep she had q terrible dream.
She saw her husband standing
before her-very pale and pallid
and his garments were dripping
with water.
This disturbed Ealcyon very
much, 90 at dawn she hurried
down to the sea and there float
ing on the tide was the body Of
her dear husband. He had been
drowned before he reached the
oracle.
''All the while the gods were
looking down at her grief from
Olympus. They felt 90 sorry for
her that they turned Halcyon
and Ceyx into two beautiful birds
which they named Halcyons."
