The Biggest Shadow

when
EVERY now and then
the moon shone brightly and the clouds raced across the sky, all the shadows in the neigh bourhood would meet together.

turned-about with the

The place where they met was under the old brick wall not

One night the shadows held a rikee. Just as they were about to start, they all noticed an

But it didn't matter what they had never seen before. their shapes were. They could make themselves any shape and any size they pleased.
They didn't play their games as games are usually played,
When they played hide-and- seek, they really hid and they weren't at all easy to seek.
Kharf would make himself as small as a match stick and hide In the cracks in the sidewalk. Hanid would run up the side of the steeple where the great clock stood and hide behind one of its
hands,
