"So then, father, all the An-vils flew away from Earth?"
"Not all. There were two child An-vils, one male and one female, aged
two years, who had been born on Earth, and they started off with all the
other An-vils and flew up into the sky. But when they reached the upper
limits of the strato-sphere, they hesitated, turned tail and fluttered
back to Earth where they had been born. Their names were Zizzo and
Zizza."
"And what happened to Zizzo and Zizza, papa?"
"Well, like all the An-vils, they were great mathematicians. So, they
multiplied."
"Oh, papa," laughed Zoe, flapping her wings excitedly, "that was a very
nice story!"
