A final section on earth, sun, moon, and stars directs the ...

In the fall, the hill will be covered in autumnal gold, in winter, one may attempt to sled down it!

It is in that bay that the subjects of these imaginative stories dwell. There, the reader will find eels, barnacles, king crab, starfish, and...
