Then we walked on. And we came to a stream which lay as a streak of glass among the trees. THEN WE WALKED ON AND WE CAME TO A STREAM WHICH LAY AS A STREAK OF GLASS AMONG THE TREES
f there were no power left in us save laughter. Then we took our glass box, and we went on into the forest. We went on, cutting through the branches, and it was as if we were swimming through a sea of leaves, with the bushes as waves rising and falling and rising around us, and flinging their green sprays high to the treetops. The trees parted before us, calling us forward. The forest seemed to welcome us. We went on, without thought, without care, with nothing to feel save the song of our body. We stopped when we felt hunger. We saw birds in the tree branches, and flying from under our footsteps. We picked a stone and we sent it as an arrow at a bird. It fell before us. We made a fire, we cooked the bird, and we ate it, and no meal had ever tasted better to us. And we thought suddenly that there was a great satisfaction to be found in the food which we need and obtain by our own hand. And we wished to be hungry again and soon, that we might know again this strange new pride in eating.  LAUGHING LAUGHING ALOUD LAUGHING AS IF THERE WERE NO POWER LEFT IN US SAVE LAUGHTER THEN WE TOOK OUR GLASS BOX AND WE WENT INTO THE FOREST WE WENT ON CUTTING THROUGH THE BRANCHES AND IT WAS IF WE WERE SWIMMING THROUGH A SEA OF LEAVES WITH THE BUSHES AS WAVES RISING AND FALLING AND RISING AROUND US AND FLINGING THEIR GREEN SPRAYS HIGH ON THE TREE TOPS THE TREES PARTED BEFORE US CALLING US FORWARD THE FOREST SEEMED TO WELCOME US WE WENT ON WITHOUT THOUGHT WITHOUT CARE WITH NOTHING TO FEEL SAVE THE SONG OF OUR BODY WE STOPPED WHEN WE FELT HUNGER WE SAW BIRDS IN THE TREE BRANCHES AND FLYING FROM UNDER OUR FOOTSTEPS WE PICKED A STONE AND SCENT IT AS AN ARROW AT A BIRD IT FELL BEFORE US WE MADE A FIRE WE COOKED THE BIRD WE ATE IT AND NO MEAL HAD EVER TASTED BETTER TO US AND WE THOUGHT SUDDENLY THAT THERE WAS AS GREAT SATISFACTION TO BE FOUND IN THE FOOD WHICH WE NEED AND OBTAIN BY OUR OWN HAND AND WE WISHED TO BE HUNGRY AGAIN AND SOON THAT WE MIGHT KNOW AGAIN THE STRANGE NEW PRIDE IN EATING
