To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the midst of this lake, on an island, stood their old home ; and as BAUCIS AND PHILEMON. 57 they looked, it began to change. Slowly its crumbling walls rose into tall and stately columns, and the old roof became the pediment of a beautiful temple. On the pediment were statues of Zeus and the gods.
" This shall be your home/' said Zeus. " It is a temple sacred to Zeus, and it shall be taken care of by those who know well how to care for the needs of others. Is there a wish you would have gran...ted ? " " Great father Zeus," said Baucis, '^ we pray that we may never part, but that we may go together to the land of the afternoon." One day Baucis and Philemon were standing before the temple ; and as they looked lovingly into each other's eyes, Baucis said, " Ah Philemon, would that we could remain here always ! " She had scarcely spoken these words, when Philemon was changed into a beautiful tree ; and looking down at her feet, she saw that she herself was changing. So Baucis became a beautiful linden, and Philemon a strong and sturdy oak.
