P. 21
Neptune gave the first gift. He stood on the highest point of the hill where
the rock was bare, and bade the people see his power. He raised his weapon
high in the air, and then brought it down with great force.
Lightning flashed, the earth shook, and the rock was split half way down
to the bottom of the hill. Then out of the yawning crevice there sprang a
wonderful creature, white as milk, with long slender legs, an arching neck,
and a mane and tail of silk.
The people had never seen anything like it before, ant they thought it a
new kind of bear or wolf or wild boar that had come out of the rock to
devour them.
