Get into the other bucket that is nearly over your head . ' The wolf looked up , and saw the bucket hanging there , and with some difficulty he climbed into it . As he weighed at least four times as much as the fox the bucket went down with a jerk , and the other bucket , in which the fox was seated , came to the surface .

There was great mourning throughout all the isles , and the boy and his father mourned her bitterly also ; but before the new year came the king had married another wife , and seemed to have forgotten his old one . Only Ian remembered .
On a morning when the leaves were yellow in the trees of the glen , Ian slung his bow over his shoulder , and filling his quiver XXXXX arrows , went on to the hill in search of game .
