An Exercise in Logic
The Opening Paragraphs of
The Golden Fleece, by Padraic Colum
A man in the garb of a slave went up the
side of that mountain that is all covered with forest, the Mountain Pelion.
He carried in his arms a little child.
When it was full noon the slave came into
a clearing of the forest so silent that it seemed empty of all life. He
laid the child down on the soft moss, and then, trembling with the fear
of what might come before him, he raised a horn to his lips and blew three
blasts upon it.
