Presently Ivan heard a scream, followed by a heavy thud, and running in the direction of the noise, narrowly avoided falling into a pit, the sides of which were partly overgrown with weeds and brambles. PRESENTLY IVAN HEARD A SCREAM FOLLOWED BY A HEAVY THUD AND RUNNING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE NOISE NARROWLY AVOIDED FALLING INTO A PIT THE SIDES OF WHICH WERE PARTLY OVERGROWN WITH WEEDS AND BRAMBLES
 these flowers are very rare, but I have heard of their having been found, comparatively recently, both in the Transylvanian Alps and the Balkans. A story _à propos_ of one of these discoveries was told me last summer. Ivan and Olga were the children of Otto and Vera Kloska--the former a storekeeper of Kerovitch, a village on the Roumanian side of the Transylvanian Alps. One morning they were out with their mother, watching her wash clothes in a brook at the back of their house, when, getting tired of their occupation, they wandered into a thicket. "Let's make a chaplet of flowers," Olga said, plucking a daisy. "You gather the flowers and I'll weave them together." "It's not much of a game," Ivan grumbled, "but I can't think of anything more exciting just now, so I'll play it. But let's both make wreaths and see which makes the best." To this Olga agreed, and they were soon busily hunting amidst the grass and undergrowth, and scrambling into all sorts of possible and impossible places.
