HERMES.

great and small.
Long ago, they all lived happily together
¥> in a dark cave, near the sea.

On holidays, North Wind, South Wind, East Wind
and West Wind and their faithful sisters, came home

and told of their travels.

The whirlwinds performed their most wonderful
feats, and the zephyrs sang their sweetest songs.
These holidays, however, did not come often.

There were no idle children in the family | of
AZolus.

They swept and dusted the whole world. They
catried water over all the earth. They helped push
the great ships across the ocean.

The smaller winds scattered the seeds and
sprinkled the flowers, and did many other things
which you may find out for yourselves.

Indeed, they were so busy that AZolus was often
left alone in his dark home for several days at a
time.

He was glad when one summer morning a baby

came to the cave.
The baby’s name was Hermes, but Zolus called

him ‘ Little Mischief,” because he was-so little and
so full of tricks.
