"Poor fellow! He could not move. As he stood there he found his arms
were changing to the straight fore legs of a deer. Horns came out of his head, his brown eyes grew bigger, and so did his ears, and in a few minutes even his own dogs did not know him. He bounded away, but his pet hounds sprang at him and caught him. "Diana and her friends were miles away, and no one could save the poor fellow from the fate of a hunted deer." "Oh, I think Diana was cruel," said Jack. "I thought it served him right, when I heard it," Charlie said. "He knew he had no right in Diana's forest, and she can't hunt in the moon, for they say there are neither trees nor animals there." JACK AND JILL ON THE MOON MOUNTAINS _Norse_ "Jack and Jill Went up the hill To get a pail of water; Jack fell down And broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after." |
