"Oh, but if I might but hold it in my hand one moment, I think that I should never even sigh again!"

"If you hold it," muttered Nod, "you will skip away with it into the deep streams, and I shall never see it again, nor my brothers either, and we shall be lost forever in the forest of Munza-mulgar."

"No, no," she sang, and her voice was like water trickling over little stones. "Only to touch it, Mulla-mulgar. Look! my fingers are cold as the rain. They have no strength to steal. Let me but hold it in my palm one moment, and I will give you a secret that the fishes told me—a secret of the path that leads through the black forest."

Nod leaned down farther until the warmth of his breath stirred the water near her cheek. His hand trembled, but he held the Wonderstone fast between his thumb and two fingers.

Its pale green milk-like light shone on her small, wet shoulder and on her floating hair. The Water-midden sat up in the water, her narrow eyes fixed on the stone.

"It is cold, Mulla-mulgar," she whispered; "cold as the snows of Amana. Give it me, give it me, only to hold for one moment, and I will give you a crown of water-lilies, and a secret that the fishes told me—a secret of the path that leads through the black forest."

"No, no," muttered Nod; "my brothers are sleeping; the night is far spent; I must go."
