And the Eldest Magician laughed and said , ` Payah kun ' -LRB- That is right -RRB- . And the Rat of the Moon stopped biting the line ; and the Fisherman let his line down till it touched the Sea , and he pulled the whole deep Sea along , past the Island of Bintang , past Singapore , past Malacca , past Selangor , till the canoe whirled into the mouth of the Perak River again . Kun ? ' said the Fisherman of the Moon . ` Payah kun , ' said the Eldest Magician . ` See now that you pull the Sea twice a day and twice a night for ever , so that the Malazy fishermen may be saved paddling . But be careful not to do it too hard , or I shall make a magic on you as I did to Pau Amma . ' Then they all went up the Perak River and went to bed , Best Beloved . Now listen and attend ! From that day to this the Moon has always pulled the sea up and down and made what we call the tides . Sometimes the Fisher of the Sea pulls a little too hard , and then we get spring tides ; and sometimes he pulls a little too softly , and then we get what are called neap-tides ; but nearly always he is careful , because of the Eldest Magician . And Pau Amma ? You can see when you go to the beach , how all Pau Amma 's babies make little Pusat Taseks for themselves under every stone and bunch of weed on the sands ; you can see them waving their little scissors ; and in some parts of the world they truly live on the dry land and run up the palm trees and eat cocoa-nuts , exactly as the girl-daughter promised . But once a year all Pau Ammas must shake off their hard armour and be soft-to remind them of what the Eldest Magician could do . And so it is n't fair to kill or hunt Pau Amma 's babies just because old Pau Amma was stupidly rude a very long time ago . Oh yes ! And Pau Amma 's babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles . That is why they nip you with their scissors , and it serves you right ! CHINA-GOING P 's and O 's Pass Pau Amma 's playground close , And his Pusat Tasek lies Near the track of most B.I. 's . U.Y.K. and N.D.L. Know Pau Amma 's home as well As the fisher of the Sea knows ` Bens , ' M.M. 's , and Rubattinos .
But -LRB- and this is rather queer -RRB- A.T.L. 's can not come here ; O. and O. and D.O.A. Must XXXXX round another way .
