Text Appearing Before Image:
w^ it up to thetop again. * That is very clever of you, answered the king ; * andwhat does Simon the fifth do ? * My work, your Majesty, is mere smiths work. Orderme to build a smithy and I w411 make you a cross-bow,but from which neither the eagle in the sky nor the wildbeast in the forest is safe. The bolt hits whatever theeye sees. * That sounds very useful, said the king. And now,Simon the sixth, tell me your trade. Sire, it is so simple I am almost ashamed to mentionit. If my brother hits any creature I catch it quickerthan any dog can. If it falls into the water I pick it upout of the greatest depths, and if it is in a dark forest Ican find it even at midnight.
