Soon cocoons ,were formed and phe carried one to the em peror. He wan not Interested. The lonely little empress, surrounded hv a small army of servitors but with- nlavmate altnough . merely . a child carried the cocoon back to the garden. It piqued her curiosity. It was about the size of a large peanut , but slightly thicker and substantially hard, pmm it floated many soft threads. She Julled one and found that although -it 'was so Hffht that it would float In the ,.ir it was still so strong mat snecomm .nil off auite a length. The -hardness of the cocoon bothered her and finally nhe-hit upon the idea of soaking one in warm water. The result wa that jhc was better abrfe to extract the thread.
