The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is blue, the other red, and the third green. And while she gayly sung, the little weavers spun their silken threads, the flies on glittering wings flew lovingly above her head, and over all the golden light shone softly down. Your brilliant colors are fast fading now, and the envious moths have gnawed your silken threads. |
