He uncovered it, and ran back in a great fright, for the pot was certainly singing! He stood in the farthest corner of the room, with his hands up, and his mouth open, for a minute or two, when the singing stopped, and the voice became clear, and pronunciative. "Hollo!" said the voice. Gluck made no answer. "Hollo! Gluck, my boy,

He had no money, and was obliged to go and hire himself again to the goldsmith, who worked him very hard, and gave him very little money.

The waters closed over his cry. And the moaning of the river rose wildly into the night, as it gushed over THE BLACK STONE.
45. oldal - I am faint with thirst, give me some of that water." Then Gluck looked at him, and, when he saw that he was pale and weary, he gave him the water; "Only pray don't drink it all,
42. oldal - And the sky where the sun was setting was all level, and like a lake of blood; and a strong wind came out of that sky, tearing its crimson clouds into fragments, and scattering them far into the darkness.

And, as he did so, the lightning glared in his eyes, and the earth...
