` Enough , enough , ' cried Moscione . ` You speak the truth , and I believe you . Come with us , and your fortune 's made . ' The young man consented ; and after they had gone about ten miles , they met a third man , to whom Moscione said : ` What 's your name , my brave fellow ; where were you born , and what can you do ? ' The man replied , ' I am called Hit-the-Point , I come from the city of Perfect-aim , and I draw my bow so exactly that I can shoot a pea off a stone . ' ' I should like to see you do it , if you 've no objection , ' said Moscione . The man at once placed a pea on a stone , and , drawing his bow , he shot it in the middle with the greatest possible ease . When Moscione saw that he had spoken the truth , he immediately asked Hit-the-Point to join his party . After they had all travelled together for some days , they came upon a number of people who were digging a trench in the blazing sun . Moscione felt so sorry for them , that he said : ` My dear friends , how can you endure working so hard in heat that would cook an egg in a minute ? ' But one of the workmen answered : ` We are as fresh as daisies , for we have a young man among us who blows on our backs like the west wind . ' ` Let me see him , ' said Moscione . The youth was called , and Moscione asked him : ` What 's your name ; where do you come from , and what can you do ? ' He answered : ' I am called Blow-Blast , I come from Wind-town , and with my mouth I can make any winds you please . If you wish a west wind I can raise it for you in a second , but if you prefer a north wind I can blow these houses down before your eyes . ' ` Seeing is believing , ' returned the cautious Moscione . Blow-Blast at once began to convince him of the truth of his assertion . First he blew so softly that it seemed like the gentle breeze at evening , and then he turned round and raised such a mighty storm , that he blew down a whole row of oak trees . When Moscione saw this he was delighted , and begged Blow-Blast to join his company . And as they went on their way they met another man , whom Moscione addressed as usual : ` What 's your name ; where do you come from , and what can you do ? ' '
I am called Strong-Back ; I come from Power-borough , and I possess such strength that I can take a mountain on my back , and it seems a feather XXXXX me . '
