But
he
avoided
it
,
and
when
it
fell
,
got
upon
it
.
He
now
saw
that
the
opening
through
which
the
water
came
pouring
in
was
over
his
head
,
and
with
the
help
of
the
stone
he
scrambled
out
by
it
,
and
found
himself
on
the
side
of
a
grassy
hill
which
rounded
away
from
him
in
every
direction
,
and
down
which
came
the
brook
which
vanished
in
the
hole
.
But
scarcely
had
he
noticed
so
much
as
this
before
a
merry
shouting
and
laughter
burst
upon
him
,
and
a
number
of
naked
little
boys
came
running
,
every
one
eager
to
get
to
him
first
.
At
the
shoulders
of
each
fluttered
two
little
wings
,
which
were
of
no
use
for
flying
,
as
they
were
mere
buds
;
only
being
made
for
it
they
could
not
help
fluttering
as
if
they
were
flying
.
Just
as
the
foremost
of
the
troop
reached
him
,
one
or
two
of
them
fell
,
and
the
rest
with
shouts
of
laughter
came
tumbling
over
them
till
they
heaped
up
a
mound
of
struggling
merriment
.
One
after
another
they
extricated
themselves
,
and
each
as
he
got
free
threw
his
arms
round
Diamond
and
kissed
him
.
Diamond
’
s
heart
was
ready
to
melt
within
him
from
clear
delight
.
When
they
had
all
embraced
him
,
—
“
Now
let
us
have
some
fun
,
”
cried
one
,
and
with
a
shout
they
all
scampered
hither
and
thither
,
and
played
the
wildest
gambols
on
the
grassy
slopes
.
They
kept
constantly
coming
back
to
Diamond
,
however
,
as
the
centre
of
their
enjoyment
,
rejoicing
over
him
as
if
they
had
found
a
lost
playmate
.
There
was
a
wind
on
the
hillside
which
blew
like
the
very
embodiment
of
living
gladness
.
It
blew
into
Diamond
’
s
heart
,
and
made
him
so
happy
that
he
was
forced
to
sit
down
and
cry
.
“
Now
let
’
s
go
and
dig
for
stars
,
”
said
one
who
seemed
to
be
the
captain
of
the
troop
.
They
all
scurried
away
,
but
soon
returned
,
one
after
another
,
each
with
a
pickaxe
on
his
shoulder
and
a
spade
in
his
hand
.
As
soon
as
they
were
gathered
,
the
captain
led
them
in
a
straight
line
to
another
part
of
the
hill
.
Diamond
rose
and
followed
.
“
Here
is
where
we
begin
our
lesson
for
to
-
night
,
”
he
said
.
“
Scatter
and
dig
.
”
There
was
no
more
fun
.
Each
went
by
himself
,
walking
slowly
with
bent
shoulders
and
his
eyes
fixed
on
the
ground
.
Every
now
and
then
one
would
stop
,
kneel
down
,
and
look
intently
,
feeling
with
his
hands
and
parting
the
grass
.
One
would
get
up
and
walk
on
again
,
another
spring
to
his
feet
,
catch
eagerly
at
his
pickaxe
and
strike
it
into
the
ground
once
and
again
,
then
throw
it
aside
,
snatch
up
his
spade
,
and
commence
digging
at
the
loosened
earth
.
Now
one
would
sorrowfully
shovel
the
earth
into
the
hole
again
,
trample
it
down
with
his
little
bare
white
feet
,
and
walk
on
.
But
another
would
give
a
joyful
shout
,
and
after
much
tugging
and
loosening
would
draw
from
the
hole
a
lump
as
big
as
his
head
,
or
no
bigger
than
his
fist
;
when
the
under
side
of
it
would
pour
such
a
blaze
of
golden
or
bluish
light
into
Diamond
’
s
eyes
that
he
was
quite
dazzled
.
Gold
and
blue
were
the
commoner
colours
:
the
jubilation
was
greater
over
red
or
green
or
purple
.
And
every
time
a
star
was
dug
up
all
the
little
angels
dropped
their
tools
and
crowded
about
it
,
shouting
and
dancing
and
fluttering
their
wing
-
buds
.
When
they
had
examined
it
well
,
they
would
kneel
down
one
after
the
other
and
peep
through
the
hole
;
but
they
always
stood
back
to
give
Diamond
the
first
look
.
All
that
diamond
could
report
,
however
,
was
,
that
through
the
star
-
holes
he
saw
a
great
many
things
and
places
and
people
he
knew
quite
well
,
only
somehow
they
were
different
—
there
was
something
marvellous
about
them
—
he
could
not
tell
what
.
Every
time
he
rose
from
looking
through
a
star
-
hole
,
he
felt
as
if
his
heart
would
break
for
,
joy
;
and
he
said
that
if
he
had
not
cried
,
he
did
not
know
what
would
have
become
of
him
.
As
soon
as
all
had
looked
,
the
star
was
carefully
fitted
in
again
,
a
little
mould
was
strewn
over
it
,
and
the
rest
of
the
heap
left
as
a
sign
that
the
star
had
been
discovered
.
At
length
one
dug
up
a
small
star
of
a
most
lovely
colour
—
a
colour
Diamond
had
never
seen
before
.
The
moment
the
angel
saw
what
it
was
,
instead
of
showing
it
about
,
he
handed
it
to
one
of
his
neighbours
,
and
seated
himself
on
the
edge
of
the
hole
,
saying
:
