Text Appearing Before Image: oftly up, and caught it by the wing. The bird turned and flew quickly away, but the boynever let go, not even when they soared high into the air. Son of Adam, the bird said when the tops of themountains looked small below them, ; if you fall, you willbe dead long before you reach the ground, so go yourway, and let me go mine. But the boy answered, Wherever you go, I will gowith you. You cannot get rid of me. I did not eat your dates, persisted the bird, and theday is dawning. Leave me to go my way. But again the boy answered him: My six brothersare hateful to my father because you came and stole thedates, and to-day my father shall see you, and wy brothersshall see you, and all the people of the town, great andsmall, shall see you. And my fathers heart will rejoice. Well, if you will not leave me, I will throw you off,said the bird. So it flew up higher still — so high that the earthshone like one of the other stare. How much of you will be left if you fall from here?asked the bird. Text Appearing After Image: THE NUNDA, EATER OF PEOPLE 255 If I die, I die/ said the boy, but I will not leaveyou. And the bird saw it was no use talking, and wentdown to the earth again. Here you are at home, so let me go my way, itbegged once more; or at least make a covenant withme. What covenant? said the boy. Save me from the sun, replied the bird, and I willsave you from rain. How can you do that, and how can I tell if I cantrust you ? Pull a feather from my tail, and put it in the fire,and if you want me I will come to you, wherever I am. And the boy answered, Well, I agree; go your way. 4 Farewell, my friend. When you call me, if it is fromthe depths of the sea, I will come. The lad watched the bird out of sight; then he wentstraight to the date tree. And when he saw the dates hisheart was glad, and his body felt stronger and his eyesbrighter than before. And he laughed out loud with joy,and said to himself, * This is my luck, mine, Sit-in-the-kitchen! Farewell, date tree, I am going to lie down.What ate Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
