70 Chit-Chat by Puck.

and then he placed himself behind the head, on
that side which may be termed above the block.
There appeared a broad opening between the
giant neck and the rock on which it lay. The lad
put one end of one of the branches into this
opening, and threw his whole weight upon it. When
he had continued a little while in this manner, the
block felt a slight trembling.

“He moves me! He moves me!” cried the giant
head; but the boy heard nothing, for to human
beings these granite shapes are dumb.

“One more pull and I succeed!” cried Peter, and
inserted the other lever into the opening.

“His power ts of the right sort!” thought the
giant head; but then it grew dizzy, and rolled down
the steep rock with a tremendous crash, and at
the foot of the mountain it split into pieces, which
burrowed deep down into the earth, and there they
still are lying, telling their story to all who under-
stand the mute language of nature.
