The full moon rose in glory upon the town, and all the dogs of that town began to bark at the moon.

 

Only one dog did not bark, and he said to them in a grave voice,

"Awake not stillness from her sleep, nor bring you the moom to the earth with your barking."

 

Then all the dogs ceased barking, in awfull silience.

But the dog who had spoken to them continued barking for silence, the rest of the night.
