Shadows Visit King Nep
—And He Telis Them a Tale of Long Ago—
By MAX TRELL
S Knar! and Hanid, the shadow- A children with the turned-about names, came near, the brook, at the place where the mossy bank leans over the water, they heard a noise that sounded like clink. It was the big. green frog diving into the brook, At almost the same instant, they heard someone chuckling. The next moment, their friend King Nep, who was no larger than a pod of pens, and dressed in clothes that were just green, stuck his head out from under the bank.
"Did you see that frog dive?" he asked Knarf and Hanid, "as "he"came" over and sat beside them.
"We didn't see him, King Nep." sold Hanid. "But we heard him."
"He reminds me of my old friends the seals," said King Nep. "How well I remember them....
