Belinda

A MOUNTAIN was in labour, and the people of seven cities had

assembled to watch its movements and hear its groans. While they

waited in breathless expectancy out came a Mouse.

"Oh, what a baby!" they cried in derision.

"I may be a baby," said the Mouse, gravely, as he passed outward

through the forest of shins, "but I know tolerably well how to

diagnose a volcano."
