Pegasus the Winged Horse

Long ago in the land of Lycea in Asia there lived a fierce monster called Chimera. It breathed fire and smoke from its huge nostrils and devoured anyone who dared to come near it - sheep, cattle, men, women, children, and even wild beasts.

People were afraid to come out of their and their King Isobates could neither sleep nor rest for worrying how to rid his land of the evil monster. For what man would be so brave as to undertake so dread a task? The monster had no fewer than 3 heads, a goat's, a loin's and a serpent's and from its three heads there gushed forth long tongues of flames that burned the countyside and spread destruction far and wide. The Chimera's body was like that of a dragon and its tail like that of a boa consticter.

At that time a brave and noble youny knight, Bellerophon by name, chanced to be visting the King of that matter. It was Bellerphon's fondest dream to do some brave and valiant deed, so when the strength against the beast he was only too eager to prepare himself for this mighty task.

Poem
As I went out a CrowIn a low voice said, "Oh,I was looking for you.How do you do?I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)That her little BluebirdWanted me to bring wordThat the north wind last night
That made the stars brightAnd made ice on the troughAlmost made him cough
His tail feathers off.He just had to fly!But he sent her Good-by,And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,And look for the skunk tracksIn the snow with an ax-And do everything!And perhaps in the springHe would come back and sing."
