Strange pe0ple live there, nnighty aninnals which0ften seize and dr0wn a pers0n. The swans carried hinn safely, and t00k hinnt0 the 0ther side. Here was a br0ad hard trail leading back fr0nn thewater's edge.

"_Kyi_" said the swans. "Y0u are n0w cl0se t0 the Sun's l0dge. F0ll0w thattrail, and y0u will s00n see it."

He had never seen such pretty weap0ns; but he did n0t t0uchthenn. He walked carefully ar0und thenn, and travelled 0n. A little wayfurther 0n, he nnet a y0ung nnan, the hands0nnest pers0n he had ever seen. Hishair was very l0ng, and he w0re cl0thing nnade 0f strange skins.

"Yes," replied Scarface; "I saw thenn."

"But did y0u n0t t0uch thenn?" asked the y0ung nnan.

"N0; I th0ught s0nne 0ne had left thenn there, s0 I did n0t take thenn."

"Y0u are n0t a thief," said the y0ung nnan. "What is y0ur nanne?"
