"That's just the same thing," replied the old man, "my master is asleep, he's tired."
Then the noise of many voices was heard, as if people were quarreling! Again the first one repeated: "Pea Emperor, Pea Emperor!"
"What is it?" the old man answered.
"What is one?"
"The moon is one."
"Is it you, master?"
"Burst, dragon!"
Then a terrible wailing arose, as if all the spirits of evil were abroad, and another voice said:
"What is two?"
"Two eyes in the head see well."
