Og, riding gaily on the unicorn behind the Ark, was quite happy 26
A strange crowd of demons of all shapes and sizes poured into the synagogue with threatening gestures 36
He could not see what Sarah saw--a figure, a spirit, clutching a big stick 68
"The big fellow here got angry, beat the others and smashed them to bits" 88
He sprang from his stool, spluttering and cursing 100
He found a beautiful youth, clad in a deer skin, lying on the ground 112
With a cry, he put his fingers in his mouth to ease the pain and burned his tongue 126
They saw the land rise up like a huge mountain and a tremendous stream of water gush forth 134
He looked up and beheld the most beautiful woman his eyes had ever seen 150
As the Shah raised his sword an old man stepped from behind the tree 162
Behind him a fierce roar indicated that the lion was in pursuit 172
The gates opened from within and the Arab stood before them 178
The sun was shining on a noble city of pinnacles and minarets 188
He heard a cry of alarm and saw a huge stone fall on the soldier riding behind him 194
The four youths mounted the eagles which flew aloft to the extremity of their cords 202
"Thou canst only be my long lost son Elkanan!" 214
He crouched on his throne and imagined he saw angels and demons and fairies 234
The monster was battering down the door of the synagogue 244
Hanina and his wife followed the giant frog 252
The giant bird did not seem to notice its burden at all 258
Then the door slowly opened and a figure in white stood in the entry 276
JEWISH FAIRY TALES AND LEGENDS
The Palace of the Eagles
East of the Land of the Rising Sun there dwelled a king who spent all his days and half his nights in pleasure. His kingdom was on the edge of the world, according to the knowledge of those times, and almost entirely surrounded by the sea. Nobody seemed to care what lay beyond the barrier of rocks that shut off the land from the rest of the world. For the matter of that, nobody appeared to trouble much about anything in that kingdom.
Most of the people followed the example of the king and led idle, careless lives, giving no thought to the future. The king regarded the task of governing his subjects as a big nuisance; he did not care to be worried with proposals concerning the welfare of the masses, and documents brought to him by his advisors for signature were never read. For aught he knew they may have referred to the school regulations of the moon, instead of the laws of trading and such like public matters.
