Fig. 624.—Leo, the Lion.
Now we will make the king of beasts,
Leo, the Lion,
for he is very fine-looking with his starry mane and a star almost in his mouth ([Fig. 623]). Trace the lion carefully, name him Leo, and cut him out; pierce holes through the stars and hold the figure up to the light. The little girl in [Fig. 617] is enjoying her Leo very much. Notice how earnestly she peers through the holes, for she is determined to know the constellation. When you look through the pinholes of Leo, you will find that the constellation resembles a sickle, as in [Fig. 624]. The lion is in plain sight during February, March, April, May and June, so you have a long time to make friends with him.
