agle was very old, and at that time a widower. Although he had been father to nine generations of eaglets, he sent Puck to the stag. This splendid creature, with magnificent antlers, lived at the edge of the forest, near the trunk of an oak tree. It was still standing, but was now a mere shell. Old men said that the children of the aborigines played under it, and here was the home of the god of lightning, which they worshiped. So to the withered oak, Puck went, and offered him the honor of leadership to an embassy to the King. But the stag answered and said: "Well do I remember when an acorn fell from the top of the parent oak. Then, for three hundred years it was growing. Children played under it. They gathered acorns in their aprons, and the archers made bows from its boughs. "Then the oak tree began to die, and, during nearly thirty tens of years it has been fading, and I have seen it all. "Yet there is one older than I. It is the salmon that swims in the Llyn stream. Inquire there.
