kitchen； patted Bello； why was sound asleep on the doorstep；
looked at the moon rising over the crest of Rigi； fastened the
door； pulled up the weights to wind the clock； and； taking her
candle； went upstairs to bed herself。
When at last the sound of her footsteps ceased； and the house was
quiet for the night； the cuckoo stuck out his head and looked
about the silent kitchen。 The moonlight streamed in at the
eastern window； the little mouse was creeping from her hole； and
the shadows were whispering together in corners。
〃On the whole；〃 said the cuckoo to himself； 〃I think I've managed
this thing very well。 Every one is happy again； and now I can
take a little rest myself。 The past three days have been very
wearying to one with my responsibilities。〃
〃Cuckoo；〃 he called nine times； then the tiny wooden door clapped
shut； and he too went to sleep。
