.1 shall never outlive the nursery
myths of childhool, . I still believe
giants live in .the tops of. the tall old
pine tree's, that the dwarfs have their
homes down ; in bjg hollow . stumps,
and that in every .spring there dwells
a, fairy, who keeps it free from sticks
and leaves, and makes the water
fresh and cool and sweet, and that
when the human presence approaches
near she always changes into a spring
lizard. I. believe, too that the little
piles of sticks you sometimes see. In
the : woods were collected by the
pixies for their winter fires, and that
the fairy-wing toad. stools that lift
their tiny white parasols above the .pounds.
