Then Tiny and Baby went out of doors into the dusk.
And one moist star was stuck over the top of the hill, which looked like a black tent against a grey sheet: for the sun was going to get up soon.
And on the top of the hill under the star was a little madman waving both arms, which he always did, when he thought he saw the sun, to tell the people time to get up.
Only sometimes he made a mistake, and it was the moon instead.
Then the people all went back to bed, and were cross, and gave it the little madman when he came down from the hill at midday for his bun.
So Tiny and Baby walked away over the moor in the white of the dawn, arm in arm, back to That Country.
