 got for us now?" "My dear Faun," said the Phoenix stiffly, "I have brought my friend David, who is acquiring an education. We--" The Faun smiled at David. "Want to race?" he said. "Sure," said David. "Where to?" "One moment," harrumphed the Phoenix. "What we--" "Down to that pedestal and back," said the Faun. "All right. Wait till I tie my shoe." The Phoenix harrumphed again. "This is all very well in its place, but we _should_--" "Ready?" said the Faun. "One, two, three, _go_!" [Illustration] They dashed for the stone marker. It was an even race until they reached the pedestal, but there David tried to turn without slowing down, slipped on the grass, and went sprawling on his hands and knees. The Faun knew better. He sprang at the pedestal with both hooves, bounced from it like a spring, and began to race back to the oak. But then he too fell, tripping over a vine, and David shot past him and touched the oak one jump ahead of him, shouting "First!" They sat down on the moss, panting.
